more so when warm. or if creeping in traffic then setting off, very intermittent.  :-/

Sheffield here as well  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

I'm another one with the long 1st gear problem. Changing the gearbox oil and filter did little to cure the problem. Added to which when I went to start her this morning my TC light was on and I had little or no drive in 'D'.

IIRC when I changed the autobox oil and filter about 5000 miles ago, I noticed a slight weeping from the bellhousing / torque converter area, so I'm guessing it is running low on fluid. About to go out and check, so will report back with my findings.

Just as I suspected, the box was low on fluid. Had to put about 1 1/4 litres in it.

Much better now with a smoother shift between 1st & 2nd, but still suffering the long first gear.

hi, from a sheffielder lol. i had my filter and ATF changed, made no differance, the old filter and oil didnt look that old, maybe previous owner tried this before delling it to me.
its intermittent, some days rarely have the problem, others its quite regular. doin my head in now. running in sports mode to solve it.

I'd like to know more about this, a my 2.2 auto, sticks on 2nd gear when warm sometimes. I'd expect it to do it when cold, to warm up all the fluids etc, but when warm!??

Mine stick's 2/3.
