Basically like it is stuck in 1st or when you don't depress the clutch in manual when coming to a stop.
Replicating it is as usual is difficult and I have tried many times. So I was going to get a mechanic to do the last service before I can start doing it once out of warranty and thought maybe as a precaution might change the oil pan and oil while he is at it. For those that have done it is the german one Chocco posted the best to get? Price seems ok being it comes with oil too.

Hey Dingo long time,
So everyone I replaced my oil and trans pan, all I can say is due to legal reasons I would be going with the German one with the 4 magnets.
Now as for the Penrite Trans Oil, I’m not a fan at cold temps, once it’s warmed up and reached operating temp of 93deg then it seems okay and no issues transitioning thru the gears.
When it’s cold gear changes are a little grabby and not as smooth as with the Lifeguard.
I will swap back but not at the moment, I am looking at installing a secondary filter so will probably do that at the same time.
Cheers
