This was originally posted on Caravanners Forum by another member (http://www.caravanersforum.com/viewt...hp?f=2&t=31068) but I had similar happen to me.
I was towing our van of approx 2500kg back from Albany a few weeks ago. As usual, I was using the auto in the manual/sports mode which tends to hold the change longer and prevents selecting 5th gear.
On one hill which I don't recall as being overly big, the box changed back into 2nd and when I tried to change up by pushing the stick forward, nothing happened. I finally pull the stick to the right into normal auto mode and then it shifted up fine.
The weather was very cold that day so I don't see this as overheating of the tranny.
Has anyone else had this happen?
