2008 FFRR TDV8 gearbox

The box on my FFRR is very smooth except for the first time it goes up the low gears from a cold start. It takes off fine, but 1-2 is a bit lumpy and 2-3 lumpier still. It almost feels like its hesitating to complete the change, particularly if you give it some throttle. From that point on its absolutely fine until it gets completely cold again.

Also my phone software is odd. It always pairs well, but the address book often doesn't respond, or when a number is selected to call, it doesn't make the call, just going back to the main phone screen - any ideas?

Thanks
