Tonight, I was simply driving home from the pub, with 2 mates of mine in the car, not driving hard at all, driving like a granny more like... Well, I came to a stop and put the car into neutral while i was waiting around, I then put it back into DRIVE and the car just didn't want to move, tried all gears, nothing! So turned the car off, left it for about 20 secs, then turned it on again... The car worked perfectly.
Just now, was coming around a corner and as I came round the car just lost all driving, a feeling ehich was like a slipping clutch on a manual.., again, pulled over and done the same process..
No lights or anything flashing up at me.. sometimes, in sport mode, the car would rev all the way to the redline and come downa bit and bounce straight back..
As teh car drives absolutley perfectly, an electronic problem just springs to mind, as if the ECU is just telling the box to go into neutral..
Im actually draining the fluid tomorrow and putting fresh new ATF in there, and also doing a full engine oil change.. Was doing tis anyway, but sort of in hope that a nice fluid change wil solve the box prob, lack of oil in there maybe?
If not, i hope its an electronic problem rather than something with the mechanics! Its only done this just now, no other times.. eeekkkkkkkkkk
Thanks
