Peugeot 206 Auto Hatchback 2005 - Auto enquiry

Hello, I have a very minor thump going from 1st to 2nd gear when the auto is cold.
This is only for the first change and once down the road all is sweet for the rest of the day.
The car was registered in New Zealand new. It has traveled only 60,000kms.
The auto oil has not been replaced from new.
Could changing the oil smooth the gear change when cold?
If so, do you have a recommended type of oil for the auto?
I will look around Christchurch for a top transmission service centre, and then do my homework before deciding on any action to take.
I love the car and it is perfect in every other way.
Thank you for any assistance.
Regards,
David.

Changing oil definitely makes it smoother during gear change. I have done it twice now for my 406.

If you do decide to change the oil, at least make sure it meets LT71141 specification (although for me personally I rather use Mobil LT71141 or ZF Lifeguard 5 instead of any other brand).
