2002 MPV Transmission slipping 1st to 2nd when cold
 

Hi Everyone,

We have our 2002 MPV with 160,000km on the clock and after being overseas for a year, we have found that the auto slips from first to second when cold. (its Ok when the outside temp 30deg C +) I don't think we have ever had the auto fluid changed ( i notice the Australian Schedule only recommends inspections, but in other countries it recommends changing it every 50,000K.)

My Mechanic thinks it terminal, but suggests a flush and an additive is worth a try.

Any thoughts or help much appreciated.

George
