We are just about to sell our Nissan Primera and its due for a service... one thing that has come up with people interested in the car is the fact that when it changes from 1st to 2nd gear (its automatic) it can sometimes be quite rough.

Im trying to find a decent and not too expensive Vehicle servicing place in Wellington which would also help identify the problem with the transmission.

Alternatively, do any of you know anything about auto transmissions? What it might mean if this is the problem...could it just need a sepearate auto transmission service to clean filters etc?

While im on the subject, one other thing that happens alot is when you start the car sometimes it stalls and doesnt want to "Catch". Ive had the battery looked at and recently had service for that too and apparantley it was still fine. Theyve checked the idle speed thing as well... it seems to do it more though when its been sitting unused, or if its been in the sun for a few hours or even when its just reallly cold (maybe its all the time?)... anyone know anything about what might be causing this? If I put my foot on the gas for a bit it makes it work fine!

Thanks in advance
