Hi All,
just looking for a bit of advice - got my insignia (Automatic Gearbox AF40, 2011 Sri A20DTH Engine, 160hp 108k miles 3 months ago) and all seemed well but this last few days I have been experiencing issues with gearbox.
When I move lever through to Drive it seems to slam in to gear - it does not do it when cold but when warmed up.
Also, very occasionally it seems to gear down a little harshly when slowing down hard.
I have messaged an auto gearbox specialist who replied that this is a common symptom of worn out gearbox so I am gutted!!
As a last resort, is it worth trying a gearbox oil change?
I am not very mechanically minded so would have to take it in somewhere but also wondering do I try basic drain and refill or should/can I go for full flush?
Any help would be much appreciated.
