Auto Transmission problem

[Blinding]

Hi Everyone,

I have an issue on the daughters car.

Its a 1.2 Auto and this only happens when its cold.

The problem is you pull away and anything less than a granny style foot action see's the engine race up to the red line before the first gear change. This is obviously not a desired way to treat a cold engine and after a min or two the shift is fine.

I've checked the oil and its fine and looks new, in fact there's a receipt for trans fluid change at a gearbox specialist just before we bought it, 6 months ago.

I've read the haynes manuals rather limited info and have discovered the changes are controlled electronically rather than by fluid pressure.

Does anyone have an auto with similar traits?

Could it be caused by filling with the wrong fluid; although I would think they would know what they are doing!

Anyway we can put up with it, she drives like a granny so probably hasn't noticed it.

Cheers

Vince

did you manage to find out what your problem was?

Hi,

i have a 2005 nissan micra 1.2 auto.

2 days ago i started having acceleration issues maybe relating to the gearbox.

Not sure

on the auto the gears change to higher gears automaticly if pressed hard to go faster or up hill but for some reason its just flat, it dosent go in to a higher gear at all.

I feel like it just changes through all gears but does not recognise when accleration is being pressed for a higher gear to kick in.

can anyone help.
