elite v6 automatic gearbox problem - salsero

hi all,

i recently had my oil cooler replaced which stopped oil mixing with water in the tank, plus changed radiator unit (which included a transmission oil cooler) cost approx £400 incl labour. now the car developed a curious problem, automatic gearbox works fine when cold, after 5 miles or so, 1st gear develops a problem, becomes sticky, and need to push it down for 3 seconds before it responds, other gear changes seem ok. thing is though if i switch the engine off and back on then problem goes away for a nother 6 miles or so.

i am worried that gearbox on its way out. whcih will be mega expensive to change.

would anyone please shed some light on this problem
many thanx in anticipation
