Saab 9-3 auto, gear change problem?

    I recently bought a 05 Saab 9-3 TID Auto.

    When putting the car into D, it jumps.
    When changing from R to D it jumps
    When breaking lightly at higher speeds it jumps, as if dropping down a gear.

    I'm gonna drop in to the dealer tomorrow but wondered what you guys think it might be?

    There may be a problem with the o-rings between the oil cooler and radiator, if this is the case you may need a new gearbox.

    I was hoping that wouldn't be it :/
    It's well under warranty, I only bought it 10 days ago but still a nightmare if it needs be replaced!

    My steering wheel controls (volume etc) have also stopped working. Grrrr.

    Not exactly a new gearbox needed but a "full gearbox overhaul" so my motor is in the car hospital for a week. Balls.

    Out of curiosity, did it jump when you test drove it?

    No, but I didn't reverse it, nor did I get to really give it a chance to get into sixth. (possibly not the best test driver ever!!) But the day after I picked it up I noticed it when putting it either into D or R and then a couple of days later on the motorway I felt the issue when braking.
