In reply to Molly. Is this an automatic or manual? Did you mean Colt?

Mitsubishi cult 55 plate Sometimes it doesn’t directly slot into R gear. If I go into first gear then R it will work. Any ideas please? Only just passed my test and got the car

In reply to Paul. Any chance there could be air in the transmission fluid lines or the valve body? I'd take it back to the mechanic who changed the transmission fluid and describe the problem to them. See if they are able to replicate it, and what they recommend.

Toyota Camry 2012 – Auto transmission.
Step on brakes, shift into reverse, gear engages.
Step off brakes, gear disengages after a second or two.
Still in reverse, step on brakes, gear engages.
Step off brakes, gear disengages.

Transmission works perfectly well in forward gears (drive)

What could be the problem please?
It is important to note that transmission oil has just been changed recently after mechanic noticed it was overdue for change. Oil color had turned dark.

In reply to Thomas. I don't know. So, are you saying the reverse gear works when it's warm outside or when the truck is warmed up?

In reply to Pat. Does the car rev freely in neutral or park? If not, I would suspect an engine issue. If it revs freely, I would be inclined to blame the transmission. How does it idle in neutral or park? Does it sound rough or act like it wants to stall?

I have a Renault Koleos automatic, and when I try to drive off, it won’t take off by putting the normal gradual pressure… It takes really putting my foot down to make it move and even then the engine sounds like it’s struggling. When I break it also sounds as though it’ll stall but doesn’t. When trying to reverse, similar scenario, takes a lot of pressure on the accelerator to make the car move and when it does it’s a fast, jerky motion. Is this transmission? It’s this likely to cost me in the thousands to repair?

In reply to Edwin. Are you saying the car creeps more slowly in reverse sometimes? Or does it take a long time for the transmission to shift after you have selected reverse?

My Toyota G touring when parked for long hours develops issues with delayed Reversing.When the vehicle is in motion for a duration of 1 hour plus it has no issues with reversing and its actually picks very fast.
When parked for short durations like 1 hour or 2 after a journey the reverse picks well.
In the morning i switch the engine and engage to reverse and could move after 10 to 15 minutes.What is the cause this
