Most problamatic automatic gearbox, first problem shifting from 1st to 2nd. Repaired that, now the car has broken down again. Should I fix the gearbox again or completely replace it? Apperantly the problem is with the valve body set in the gearbox. Anyone have a similar problem? This has got to be the most poorly engineered gearbox ever seriously!

I would say the repair job was not done well. If it is a poorly engineered trans, replacing one is going to come back with the same problem.
