This is on a British right hand drive 2003 Crossfire Coupe automatic, 73,000 miles (ish)

When sat stationary and I floor the throttle with the car in full automatic mode (D) im finding the car will accelerate well in first but then will bounce off the limiter for between 0.5-1.5 seconds before eventually changing into 2nd gear.

I have also found the same problem when using the car in the semi automatic mode when flicking the stick right for up shifts.

I am also finding the same problem with traction control on and off.

is this normal? i have been considering a transmission oil change.
I Have recently given it a service (all filters and engine oil) but only owned the car a month so cant say I noticed the problem before the service.

all other gear changes are fine, 2nd to 3rd ect
please help

 

So you are saying it doesn't want to shift into second straight away? If so, it sounds like your transmission control unit isn't functioning properly. The TCU communicates with the ecu when to shift at a certain rpm. Eurocharged does TCU tunes. Maybe others will chime in.

 

Has the transmission ever been serviced? I would recommend changing out the transmission oil and filter.

 

have just had a transmission oil change and am still getting the problem when booting it from stationary.
