I have a new 2007 PT Cruiser, (non-turbo) with automatic transmission. It has about 1,000 miles on it.
From a cold start, the trans shifts "hard" from first to second gear, and the rest of the shifting is smooth. When decelerating, it will also hard shift from second back into first. This seems to go away after the engine and trans have warmed up to operating temperature.
Is this normal? If I disconnect the battery cables to reset, will it "re-learn" it's shifting pattern?
Thanks for any advice you may offer.
