Help!
My gearbox is doing wierd stuff. The other day I was moving off from my driveway and I was in first but the car wasn't going anywhere. It felt like the handbrake was on or something (I checked it wasn't) but when it changed into second it just pulled away like normal. If anyone has any info about what caused this problem pleae tell!

Yeh man, how long you had the car? If you havnt noticed that the car doesnt go anywhere when its still cold start for a few seconds by now, then you're not very observant. :p

Dont accelerate at all when its still cold start until you feel the car starts to roll a bit; you then know that the cold start has finished (although automatic choke may will be active until the car warms up a bit). No drama there.

nah this was completely different I'm not a total tool! :rant:

This was like there was a brick or something in front of the wheel while I was in first and when I changed into second it took off as normal. I've had my car for over a year now and it's the second time it's done this. The first time it did this was about three or four months ago.
I think it may be a problem with the trans (auto if you hadn't noticed) or possibly the trans fluid.

Might be a tranny problem, you cant really tell with them. I suggest just let the car warm up for a few minutes before u drive. If you dont do it already that is..

I know mine doesnt like driving in the cold.
