Trans will shift thru all 5 gears when cold. Let engine/trans get up to operating temp plus another 10 km, leave from a stop and you will get 1-3 shift skipping 2nd gear. No DTC's stored but I do get a flashing O/D light sometimes when I use moderate or WOT position. With o/d off and a WOT test run I do get a flare coming out of second shift. The oil has been changed at 25000 km intervals. Oil pan always clean. I have read thru the VB diary (which is excellent). Do you think I might have a damaged seperator plate gasket that might cause this problem? When the O/D light is flashing, what is that telling me other than it has gone into limp mode?
