after an hour stop and go traffic transmission not able to shift from 1st gear into second anymore. Parking the car for 2-3h and driving again the transmission works again.

Hi there,

You will need to get this transmission serviced and get a test and report from a trans specialist as there will have to be a few hands on test done to lock this problem down, you can go get a scan as there may be an electrical fault that has set a code in the ECU.
