I have year 2000 Saxo 1.4i with 3-speed automatic gearbox, 120 000 kms. Pushing the gas pedal down changes nicely from 3rd to 2nd gear for better acceleration, but lifting the pedal does not always change back to 3rd. Pulling the gear lever manually to 2nd and back to 3rd makes the gearbox change to 3rd.
Apart from this issue, the gearbox works fine. Gearbox oil has been changed a couple of times in last few years. It may not have been changed in the first 15 years though.
Is this a common problem? Any idea how easy or difficult to repair?
