hey there, i have recently bought a 2002 Holden/Opel Astra ts city 1.8 litre and the automatic transmission has a few problems. The first problem is when its cold and you first put it into drive it shutters and stalls straight away but if its warmed up it doesn't stall. another problem is when taking off it will go through first gear then into 2nd for about 1 second then shift straight into a high gear, causing the engine to shutter and shake a lot. Some forums say its the snow button on the side but I have disconnected the button entirely and it still goes straight to top gear. I would greatly appreciate if someone had any idea about whats going on or if anyone has had a similar problem to tell me about it and what you have done to fix this issue.
