Auto Box Slow To Change Gear

[Grandad]

My 1998 2.8 V6 Gal (105k) has been slow to change up when in 1st gear especially after stopping on the up slope of a steep hill.

 

Also, when cold and waiting to pull away from a junction you can feel the gearbox sliping in and out of gear and you get a delayed thud after you've pressed the accelerator and you then jump forward.

 

I've had the ATF checked and been told it's fine.

 

Any ideas?

I would get the ATF level checked again by some one else

most places do not use correct procedure

I have had the problem of the no drive then jumping back to full drive on at least 4 different auto galaxys- normally this only happens when gear box is cold

 

box will be slow to change gear when cold - it holds low gear to warm up box

sounds like a classic case of needing some atf. was the level checked when gearbox was up to temp?

Thanks for the replies - this confirms my view as well - I think the local garage was just trying to fob me off. I'll try an independent VW/Audi garage instead as everything under the bonnet is badged as VW.
