vectra auto g/box stalling 2nd to 3rd?

i have just bought a vectra 2006 auto,when it is warm it stalls between 2nd and 3rd then eventually engages with a jerk, any advice on what is causing this please.

this is NOT an ATF fault. If it was you would have problems with all gears. At minimum you have a solenoid fault. For specialist www.fedauto.co.uk

check your transmisson fluid level, and check trans sump seal for leaks, if leaking seal need to change it, if low fluid level, top up, start engine, keeping the brakes on, go though gears to settle fluid, if this dont work you will need to go to an automatic transmisson garage, and this aint cheap. did you know about gearbox when you bought it cos you can bet the seller did. Good Luck.

hope it helps, July 2010
check the gearbox oil level
