jamesmark Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have noticed a few times that when going from D to R that the car does not want to move, it just sits in neutral then after a 1-2 seconds reverse engages and were off, but it then comes out of gear 1-2 seconds later it goes back into reverse. It done it 3 times in 20m that I was reversing. It also happens when selecting D it will pause for a moment then I have drive. Both scenario's it is as if I have a box full of neutrals but only for 1-2 seconds before the autobox engages gear. It only happens when I have been stopped as driving, overtaking etc is all fine with no issues. I am still to do error codes, but I have no had any warning lights etc as yet. Oil was filled up in the box on last service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIL Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 james - I think its a box sensor causing the problem - dont know whick one though (I have it, but only happens on the odd occasion). As a quick fix, pull the stick into L and drive off manually, once into D it should be OK. If your looking to reverse, do the same, pull the stick into L (wait to feel it engage) and push it back up to R and you should be OK. I have posted the issue before as others have it but to my knowledge no one yet has cured the problem? Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Cheers Vil. Will give that a bash. Funny you should say that as it is fine when I feel another gear engage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If you want to try and change certain sensors on the box I still have my old box with the sensors on. It was my TC that gave up so the sensors should still be ok... they're a bit of a pig to get to while the box is still on the car though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
