Having bought a 2nd hand cruiser with the 5sp auto box, I am a bit suspicious as to whether the correct auto trans oil is in the box. The auto shift seems to 'labour' to me, taking effort to shift down under load. IE 80kph..put the foot down a bit...nothing happens! really push foot down and she will kick down...I feel way to much accelerator id required to get the gears changing...if you know what I mean.

I suspect it may the oil...any way of knowing without actually doing a full service on the box??

Or does anyone know any other explanation for this issue??

The car has done 95K. I don't know if the trans oil has ever been changed before or not. It is currently a red colour on the dip stick.

cheers
