I have a Daihatsu Sirion 2002 with an odd transmission problem:

When putting the car into drive, there is a small delay befor the transmission actually engages after that its OK although sometimes it wont engage at all and I have to take it out of gear and put it back into gear again. Then occasionally it goes into gear after the delay but is not fully engaged - only partially. It is also slow to engage on the kick down as well. Any help is much apreciated. Cheers, Richard.

Thanks for the reply, there are no flashing lights to indicate an error.

Fluid level is fine and condition is good - nice red colour.

Cheers.
