Hi, Late 1st to 2nd when cold is due to the computer commanding a late shift. For economy and emissions the cat is bought up to temperature quicker by the late shift. To prove this, try letting the car idle for a couple of minutes before moving off and if it changes gear normally the gearbox is OK.
