Thought I would start a new thread for this problem as I can't find anything similar in the forum.
In D it starts to pull away and then looses drive. In tip it works in 1st but the shift between 1st and 2nd are rough From 2nd on all the gears are fine and if you go back to drive and avoid dropping down to first it drives very well.
I think the solenoid (there may be 2) for 1st is sticking and that will have to be checked but it is once again drivable.
The other problem is line pressure which could be due to the solenoids not working properly or a seal has gone in the valve block.
3rd option is one of the clutch plates but I would have thoght it would not work in tip either?
Keith is going to run it this week in the hope use will free up the solenoids but if not we have 2 sets sitting here to swap with.
If anybody else thinks the problem is elsewhere let us know. There are no codes from the ecu apart from a front and rear abs sensor fault. They have been there since Keith bought the car but the ABS light does not come on under braking.
