How can I fix my automatic transmission?

My transmission takes long to get into drive in the morning. I have a GLX 626 1986 model.

I have had the same problem... unfortunately it is not good news.

The problem on mine was an internal gear box fault and the end result was either to risk a box from a scrappy (not recommended) a Dealer box exchange (bl**dy expensive)

I opted for a gear box overhaul from a local auto box specialist that cost me £400+vat. not cheap but i wasn't going to scrap the car.

Good luck.
