I have had my VR II v6 Auto wagon for nearly 2 weeks, and this problem has happened twice. On short trips and when the traffic is flowing free there is no problem. But when I have to go into the city, and stuck in traffic etc, the car does not want to take off from the traffic lights. It feels like the handbrake is on and I have to move the shifter to 1st gear to take off. About 10 minutes out of the city in the free flowing traffic it is ok again.
It feels like the trans is trying to take off in 2nd or 3rd gear. I put my foot down, the motor revs and the car will crawl away from the traffic lights.
I have checked the fluid level, the coolant temp gauge does no go past half. The 2 times I have had trouble have been warm days with almost 30C temperature.
Is there a problem with the trans ?? Should I fit a trans cooler ?? The sticker on the car says a trans service is due in about 7,000kms.
Many Thanks for all replies received.:bow:
