Hi all. I can't use the search function so apologies if this has already been covered.
I'll keep a very very long story as short as I can.
Weird slipping auto problems had me visiting a gearbox specialist to fix it.
He found the cooler was blocked and replaced with a new aftermarket cooler.
Most of the problems were then gone but a slip into neutral was left between 3rd and 4th causing massive rev increase if you're not expecting it.
To save time and eliminate the suspicion that it may be solenoids and/or valve body, he fitted a total brand new valve body unit which improved the overall operation but still left the 3-4 slip into neutral.
I've had to have the car back from him temporarily while I get MOT stuff sorted but anyone got any ideas what this could be so I can go back later armed with some info that will mean a quicker fix as I really can't manage without the car for long.
Thanks to all who can help.
Simon.
