Could be a number of things based on what you say. Most likely would be burnt autobox fluid and this does cause vibration through the gears and slow changes.

I had slow take off from cold recently. It would take on occasions up to 8 seconds before I got forward motion. 1st gear Sprag clutch was the issue. Autobox rebuilt before it left me high and dry.

Thanks guys for the the replys and pm's. I think I have found the culprit, a sticking drivers side front brake caliper. i knew the front discs were slightly warped and were due for replacement anyway but todayby chance I felt the temp of the front wheels and the drivers side wheel was red hot ! So I have ordered new discs and pads and a new seal kit for the caliper. Will let you know how it goes. |

I just had a similar problem on the D3 rear offside wheel - it was red hot to the touch and diagnosed as seized piston requiring new piston & seal kit but not disc or pads as these were OK |

Had a similar problem with a rear brake caliper seizing and slowing it down intermittently after a few kms. First thought the worst, gearbox problem but luckily only the caliper or pads as the calipers are fine now. Car had been sitting still for 2 years after import here. Brakes all cleaned and new pads and problem is gone. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
