gearbox problems

hey guys, ive currently got a 95 gpx model fto with a gearbox problem.

sometimes when starting up the car, and i switch it into "D" it will stay in neutral without hitting into "D" when the actual knob is in "D". this problem also arises when i go from "R" and try to go into "D". i have to keep putting the car into "R" or "P" before it will go into "D"

also when in triptronic mode, it will randomly either decided to go up a gear when i want it to go down a gear, or convert back into 'auto' mode. its best off left in auto =S

i went and asked my mechanic about it but he knows nothing about auto's.

i was wondering if this was a problem easily fixed.

if not i would probally look at doing either a manual conversion, or sell my fto for what ever it can fetch, and get another car of some random description.

Do error code check.

Ask and you shall receive

But when checking the tip box codes use the flashing "N." not the engine light.

A description of wht the codes means is a sticky on this forum either under technical or diy i think
