Hi there,
as above the issue is the car stays in each gear longer than normal before changing up and sometimes changes down with low revs.
The transmission is a 'sealed' unit so I cannot simply check the fluid level as a mechanic suggested it sounds like the fluid may be low hence the lack of pressure to change up - any thoughts or am I up for a transmission rebuild?
(note, the car powers on in the set gear until it finally changes)
Thanks again Confused
