Recently my Elite's auto-box has started delaying changing from 2nd to 3rd and the gearchange is a a bit sharp. Changing all other gears is still silky smooth and it doesn't always happen. I checked the atf and it seems fine, although the Elite is being serviced in Jan anyway, but could there be anything else to look for?

What condition was the ATF in when you checked? Red? Brown? Black?

.... and, did you check the level as per the guide - enging running, on the level? If stationary and removing the level plug, it will run out but you do not know if its enough in there or not...

Hi. The ATF was red admittedly the engine wasn't running when I checked it although engine was at operating temp. My ATF lid has 3 levels of thickness - the atf was up to the bottom of the thickest section nearest to the lid. I'll check it again when I get home from work before I switch off the engine.
As an aside, should I have a separate manual for the autobox, as it's not mentioned in the Vauxhall manuals I got with the car.
