Hi Brett
Thanks for the reply. what i understood is that, its tempratute sensor is not working and by replacing it would definitely solve the problem. do you think solinoid switch could be problem if not the seosor?

hi
did you get code 00300 ( g93 ) ??????
That code is transmission fluid temp sensor
when cold the box ecu makes the shifts late while the engine is warming up. Then when warm it shifts as normal.The ecu takes the temp reading from the box temp sensor.
the code is saying the sensor inthe gear box is not working as it should .
shifting late when cold is normal and shifts should become early again when the car is at norm temp.
however the large delay in upshift here is down to the temp sensor. best way to see is clear the code , if its back in then thats deff the problem
