Automatic transmission problems on a Ford Kuga

Good day, I own a 2009 Ford Kuga with a diesel engine and 400,000 km on the odometer. I have a problem with the automatic transmission, which is slipping and shifting irregularly. Specifically, the transmission shifts 1-2-3, but it won't shift into 4th gear and the engine revs to around 3000 rpm, then it shifts directly to 5-6. Does anyone have experience with a similar problem or know what could be the cause? Thank you for any advice.

Summary of the thread

A 2009 Ford Kuga with a diesel engine is experiencing automatic transmission issues, specifically slipping and irregular shifting, where it skips 4th gear and shifts directly from 3rd to 5th and 6th. Possible causes include low or dirty transmission fluid, which can lead to such problems. A suggested solution is to check the transmission fluid level and condition, ensuring it is at the correct level and has a clean, reddish color, and to top it up or replace it if necessary.

Start by checking the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty fluid can cause slipping and shifting issues. Make sure the fluid is at the correct level and has a clean, reddish color. If it's low or dirty, consider topping it up or having it replaced. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
