Have got the series 1 SS and whenever I downshift it doesn't appear to hold the gear i.e it's almost like dropping a manual into neutral .. there's no 'compression breaking' (excuse my lack of technical terms - i'm self taught). This is my first auto car but I know this isn't normal because when i first got the car it didn't do this.
Now, firstly does this sound like a simple/regular problem? If so is it something an inexperieced (but competant!) person could fix or should I leave it to the professionals? And if this is the case, what would an approximate cost to repair something like this? Would I be better off changing the box? (If the box is FUBAR then a manual swapout could be on the table).
Any and all help appreciated!
