General 2019 2.3 150 Comfortmatic very slow gearshift

[agreenthing]

My Ducato based Autotrail mortorhome has only done 400 miles and until today the Comfortmatic has behaved as I expected it would having read various forums - slow to shift from 1st to 2nd but otherwise very easy to use and making or a very relaxed drive.

Today after travelling for 30 miles with no problems the shift up through all the gears became very slow - much slower than the 1st - 2nd shift. I'd say around two seconds but it's very difficult to judge. The problem presented in manual and auto mode; down shifting was quick. It made no difference I was accelerating gently or hard. After about 15 - 20 miles of this it suddenly went back to normal for the last couple of miles home.

I'll call a dealer tomorrow but is this familiar to anyone? My concern is that when I take it to a dealer I / they won't be able to reproduce it.

Tech at FG Barnes found fluid level low in the reservoir for clutch or gearbox actuation - not below lower limit but low enough that he saw bubles in it. Refilled and updated gearbox and engine software and hopefully as there are no signs of a leak that's fixed it.
