One of the common issues with this box is the delay to engage drive. When cold it is almost instant ......... when hot, going from either reverse or neutral to drive has about a 2 or 3 second delay and the drive is taken up with a thump. However, when a restart is made (i.e engine off, engine on) then it will engage drive instantaneously (i.e. no noticeable delay). It could be a sticking solenoid, but the fact that it never occurs on a restart makes me think it is software related.

......... I think that this maybe something to do with the adaption settings and I keep meaning to have them reset when I have the time.

The delay issue causes no codes, no fail indication, and has been like it for the last 25K miles. I have changed the fluid and this made no difference. The car has done 76K
