Hi, problems with shifting to second gear it jerks and rpm goes a little up and down between 20-90 kmh not all the time. And gets much better when the gearbox is hot both things but not perfect.
It shifts four times to fifth gear so that's as it should be and it always shifts in 20 km h (12.5 mph) to second gear. It shifts with no jerks to all other gears.

Codes: P2502 P2500 P2404

Just check if anyone knows what the problem is and write if you want a video exactly what I mean.

Possibly a fluid issue.
Other possibilities could be the conductor plate or the pilot bushing,
but I am really just guessing.

What is the service history of the transmission and its fluid if you have that information?
At the least, he should change the connector, it's a cheap part and another possible cause to eliminate.
