g'day, up untill my recent purchase of an ef, i've owned nothing but manuals... so i know sfa about the ef's auto apart from the basics.
the problem is recently, (ie i'd be cruising on the high way, slowly speed up to overtake someone doing 80, instead of kicking down from 4th, all of a sudden the trans kicks down into neutral will rev out while the pedal is still on then change to second and rev high, this last for a few seconds untill it corrects itself and changed back to 3rd/4th i have tried manually changing it upto 3rd, economy switch on etc and this does nothing. it's starting to happen more lately, mainly erratic changes to a low gear and on some occasions won't downchange from 3rd/2nd from a stop start.
ps: i can manually change the shifter into 3/2 and 1st to a degree, i have to hold the shifter over the 1 to get it to change as the shifter won't lock in, prehaps it's had a small front end hit that's put it out a bit?
cheers.
