Title: DONK
Post by mickey on Jul 9^th, 2005, 11:46pm

:) scorpio 16v 2.0ltr m reg ultima starts instantly drive to the bottom of my road 500yds as i pull away it feels like its trying to pull away in 2nd gear (very slow) after a couple of miles all ok. also has a habit of lurching into 2nd gear when pulling away (i am told most electronic boxes do this) and when slowing to a halt a donk from the back. but all these probs go after giving it a good boot down the a127 anyone got any ideas. thanks in anticipation of your helpful replys.

First off, I would check the auto-box oil if I were you. Check that the level is ok and also that the colour is good. You're looking for a reddy kind of colour, or reddy-brown. Dark brown to black is bad.
Try that first before we get into more technical possibilities.
