It seems like this is a common problem:

1. When cold (aka my first drive of the morning) the motor will bang into 2nd from 1st. It won't do it again for the rest of the drive. Does the same thing in the evening when I leave the office.

2. Sometimes if I slow down to a crawl when going uphill (say a yield sign) I'll get on the gas again and the motor will spool up and the tranny will bang into gear (happens when tranny is warm or cold).

Mentioned this to the dealer but got the standard "Cannot reproduce" comment on the invoice.

Any suggestions?
