Thanks for the replies, I will get the auto serviced and see how it goes then.

I have a 2004 GTB legacy with a auto transmission. Intermittantly when in standard drive (not sports mode) it will stay in 1st gear and wont select 2nd. uusally if I press the change button on the steering wheel it will change to 2nd and then be ok for the rest of the trip. The problem only occurs when cold. I have also noticed an intermittent problem where there is a delay between selecting drive and the change to 1st gear (it stays in manual) this usually happens after reversing out of the garage, once again only when cold. The car has done 86000 km and I assume has never had the trans fluid changed. Anyone heard of this problem or know of any diagnotic codes that I may be able to check? PS when the auto works it works great, excellent car to drive
