Had a problem with the auto gearbox today i selected drive and went to pull off and it felt like the hand brake was on, i had to put my foot down quite a bit to get it moving and when i got over 15-20mph it went fine. i stopped and engaged reverse and that was fine just drive and 1 and 2 wasnt right. this went on for about 10 min in traffic then it went back to normal. ive been having what i think was a missfire when the second turbo kicked in on full boost but could this be linked with the gearbox. ive got a jap auto tt with about 80,000 miles. any help will be great.-

Quite a few possible issues there.

First I would check your ATF fluid level. do a search and it tells you how to do it properly. you may find it is just very low, if so I would do an urgent drain and refill.

Missfire could be several things, you might be experiencing fuel cut or your plugs may be old or your coil packs my be breaking down.
