when coming up to a round about crawling, if i suddenly nearly floor it, it seems to take longer then it should to initiate and pull away.

its like the gearbox is trying to change down / move but taking forever to think about it

car has 105k on the clock

thanks in advance

If just seems to take time to kick into gear.

Its got to be more then just a sprint booster.

Im wondering if a software update will help

Agree, this has been discussed before and the first thing to do is to reset the gearbox computer, go for a drive and let new data get stored.

Get in the car, and put key in position 2 and hold down the gas pedal for 30 seconds. Then take out the key and start the car.

it could be that your engine is running sluggish.
