Mkii V6 Auto - Strange Change Into 3rd

[sh55123]

Hi,

 

I have been a member of this forum for years, but rarely post. I have had three different Galaxy's/sharan's over the last 6 years. I am a huge fan!!

 

My current car, and 50,000 mile pristine Sharan vr6 carat, is absolutely fab apart from one niggly fault. I am hoping that somebody out there on the forum may be able to help.

 

Under certain conditions, when the auto box changes into third, it appears to engage,and then mildly 'kangaroo'. It almost feels as though the engine is being momentarily (and repeatedly) retarded, or that the torque converter cannot decide whether to lock up or not. I also occurs when dropping into 4th, but not as pronounced. On occasions when it is milder, acceleration appears to be 'stepped' rather than nice and linear, with the revs rising in distinct but subtle steps, even with the throttle held static at about 25%.

 

I have just had the auto box completely rebuilt at a cost of about
