Gear slip!

[Transporter]

Hi everyone,

In Spanish we call a gear slip when the automatic gearbox its about to make the shift and the next gear wont go in, goin neutral for a few seconds before making the actual shift. (Its the same work for english?)

Now my common sense tells me that this car witch I bought recently needs service, I don't know much but I think I could start with an oil and filter change on the gearbox?

Any mechanics experts/experienced enthusiast out there that can help?

Thanks.

We call it "flare up". Which gears are flaring up at the gear change?
