does this sound right ?

I'm fairly sure mine displays the same behaviour and tends to lurk in gear for a while. It will eventually change gear when the road levels out a bit. It's some kind of hill-climb assistance built in to the gearbox/electronics from what I understand. I normally force its hand by whacking it across the H-gate and telling it what gear I require.

thanks all for your comments; will stop worrying !
the temperature was very low when I noticed this , and the car had only run about a mile when i noticed ; maybe something to do with the transmission fluid temperature ?
