I believe it's extremely important to use the right type of oil. My transmission hadn't been changing down very well at times ever since I bought the car, so I had the fluid changed for the correct type a week ago and it feels like a new box, it just takes a slight nudge on the throttle and it changes down straight away. I think somebody must have put the wrong fluid in it previously, because there's no other explanation.
I probably should have taken the car back to SMC's in High Wycombe where I bought it, but I wasn't absolutely sure that there was a problem with it until I read the reports on here of how other peoples transmissions behave.
The company that changed the fluid said that they have to stock countless different types of transmission fluid because it's very important to use the right one! :lol:
