    Default Gearbox troubles...

    Recently ive noticed an issue with my gearbox, when it is changing from second to third gear it revs and then goes into third. So it stops halfway between 2nd and 3rd revs and then goes into gear... its almost as if somthing it sticking.
    I plugged a computer into the cars computer to see if it threw up any error codes and it didnt.
    I then serviced the gear box and its still doing it.
    The car has done 130,000 kms so i doubt the gearbox is on its last legs........

    Has anyone else had these troubles or does anyone know how to fix it ??
    -Cheers

    It might be a sticking shift solenoid,(far left of pic),you can take it to an auto trans specialist and see what they reckon.If you service your own transmission filter and fluid,then its fairly easy to replace the shift solenoids..You just gotta remove the trans pan to access the solenoids.
