"Automatic can be tricky"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Automatic transmission works nice until the oil gets very hot - city driving. Then it starts to go into 3rd and stays there. It doesn't shift properly from N to 1, or when stopping it jerks into N... The service says that some bearings have to be changed. 1000-1500€

When buying an automatic, keep in mind that with a higher mileage you'll have to make a full service on your auto trans as on manual. But a manual costs less; almost half less.

General comments?

When I fix the auto transmission, I hope it will work properly.

- Get a transmission oil cooler. It's a radiator for the transmission.

I've repaired the fault. It was "only" 320€.
