i had the same problem.. it was the input speed sensor for me.. all worn out and it does that.. i think u'll need to get it replaced..

ive gotten mine replaced and its been fine ever since.. but yeah.. that'll be your best bet.. unless your low on oil or your using the wrong oil all together.. =P.. or so my mechanic said lol..

you need to get a consult unit plugged in and it will give the error code and then you'll know whats wrong...

most common are speed sensors that are worn out...

it sits on top of your gearbox so it should be easy enough to track down the part number

Get your chassis number and send it to Kempy's.

Part number is MR567292. This WILL vary depending on the year of your car - hence you need to give them your chassis number.

I cant remember if that is the 3 or 4 pin sensor. It varies according to the year of your car. I cant even rember which one my 94 GR uses... I have the info at my parents place and can get it on the weekend if you want it.

This doesnt help you with the part number but it may help anyway.
