Nissan Note auto gearbox malfunctioning
The automatic gearbox on my 2006 Nissan Note is not working as it should. It drives off normally, but will change up from first to second gear. Any idea what could be causing this?

Probably a failed servo valve in the valve block. This is the component that changes the gears. Could be due to old, contaminated transmission oil.
