Transmission selection problems (6sp auto)
Hi guys,
My 6 speed auto box is not letting me shift the lever left to engage DS and M modes. It's stuck to selecting only PRND. However, I can still engage Sport and Sport+ via the buttons on the centre console and I can change gears manually via flappy paddles. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a quick reset or am I looking at a gear selector change? |

Anyhow, miraculously got my gear selector to work with a little tough love from my fist.
Seems if I engage the e-handbrake then try the selector with my foot on the brake pedal, it releases the lock on the gater which opens into the M/S side. This happened for me only with much pushing I must say. Seems to be alright now. Hope it doesn't recur. |

That's what I'm thinking too, ChuckB. Well, it's fine for now. But when the problem arose, I made an appointment with the dealers for them to take a look at it so I'll get them to give it the once over still. They'll probably make me look like a shmuck for bringing in a perfectly servicable car but let's see.

My experience is the opposite, sort of....
I always drive in manual mode with lever positioned to the left, but when I turn off the engine the lever attempts, but fails, to return PRND side. The lever bounces left and right, but not Right enough, until I manually assist it to the right side where it resides in Park. I don't remember when I first got the car of having to move lever back to the right side manually before stopping engine.
