Auto Gear Box

ardvark · 7th January 2010, 09:48

May be nothing but I thought I'd ask to put me mind at rest. During this cold weather I've noticed me auto box is changing up at higher revs than normal. Is this something to worry about or do you think it's cos the oil is cold? I've checked that I've got the switch on D and not SD or * for the snow setting. Any info will be greatfully recieved.

The autobox will hold the lower gears longer when the fluid is cold, as long as it changes up as normal when it is warm, I would say it is OK.
