Its likely version 0A is the latest for your 2.2

As a first port of call, I'd check the ATF levels.

1st to 2nd solonoid might be playing up but as stated check the atf level on level ground and hot. :y

Hi there, I recently bought my first Omega B, an MV6 ('99 mini face-lift)on which the transmission changes are perfect 'round the houses'. However I took in on a decent run on fastish A roads & what happens is, it makes unnecessary changes up & down between 3/4 & 4/3 at about 48/50 mph. (Sort of 'hunts')

Looking on the forum I'd assume this is due to the fact that I have the early version of the ECU's sofware, so how do I go about getting it flash upgraded to the later version (V9). I'm in S.E London/Kent. (Orpington).  :)

Suspect yours is on V5, you'll have a GS820 TCM, V9 is the latest for your combo.

Either http://theboy.omegaowners.com or a dealer.

Thanks for that, I took it to W.J.King (Main Vauxhall Dealers) today & like you said, they confirmed it was running V5, and they've now updated the software to V9, they charged £39 + vat which seemed reasonable.

Took it for a long test drive......it's like driving a different car...superb! Thanks for your advice.

Sounds very reasonable! I think I may contact my local stealer and enquire about my 02 plate 2.6 Elite.....Evans Halshaw in York or do I go to Walkers in Selby? Can anyone make a recommendation?
EH quoted me £500 ish to replace an aircon pipe when it was only the schraeder valve which needed changing, plus they don't accept the OOF trade card, Walkers, on the other hand do accept the card and come across as very 'user friendly'.  :-/ :-/

Latest...

ive had the filter and gaskets replaced, cost me £110, didnt look or smell that bad really, any way, it runs and changes gear more smoothly but still has not cured the sticking 1st gear problem. will it ease as the fresh fluid gets used or is there another reason? baffled!  :-[ >:(

Is this from cold? Or all the time?     Not sure if the 2.2 revs higher to warm the cat(s) from cold like the v engines do? Snow mode or sports mode breaks the cycle...?  :-/
