Hi guys, during a long 3hr drive last week (about 2hrs into it) I pulled up to a set of lights and I felt something was amiss! As I went to take off again the car was surging like the tranny was cutting in and out rapidly while trying to accelorate and under decelleration the tacho would fluctuate around 2-300rpm up and down like box was still cutting in & out but once it reaches a a speed where you just want to cruise along without accel/decell it seems ok but still kind of off colour! I pulled over & selected neutral and gave her some quick stabs on the gas hitting around 4000rpm each stab and motor seemed to be fine! But the surging continued the rest of the way home and I just thought if it dies it dies I dont really care! Well I made it home and parked her up & around an hr later went out to put it in the shed and all was fine again? It seems like when the box gets hot it starts to play up (rather irregular erratic shifting, almost like it will skip 2nd & move on to 3rd, not hitting overdrive till nearly 100kph, give it herbs she really holds the gears sometimes, like small pauses between gears bot not slipping!! Checked tranny fluid and that seems fine? Could my t/c be on its last legs or box needs a service or something? Cheers in advance for any help guys
