Title: Omega 2003 2.2 Automatic GearBox Problem
Post by: whamalek on 04 March 2013, 07:50:46

Dear All,
This is my first post in this great forums...
I have a problem, and no mechanic was able to solve it since around one year...

I have a 2.2 2003 Opel Omega, Automatic GearBox, I started to get a weird behavior from the gearbox , Sometimes during the day, when i start the car,  the engine sounds very weird, and if I put the gear selector to (D) to start driving, the car switch directly to gear 4 ! and doesn't start from the first gear! I have to manually select gear 1 and the car will start moving with a very very bad smell coming from the engine. than when i reach speed of around 60 I have to switch to gear 2 manually, the car will switch but the a very loud bang into the gear box, and it will switch to gear 4 not 2!
If I continue like this, the car will heat up !!!
Sometimes, I see all gear selector lights goes on at once!
In this situation, I can't turn the Sport mode on or the Winter mode on.
If I turn the car off, than on again, like 3 , 4 times, it works! like nothing is there! and then i can drive it perfectly, then If I stop and turn the engine off, go for an hour come back, it will do it again.
Any help is really appreciated.

There is a maintenance guide for cleaning the gear selection switch, which would help with the Christmas Tree of lights.

I suspect it would be good to get the codes read too if you can.

Thanks for the reply.
I went to the mechanic, he told me after he checked that it is GearBox Computer Scensors...
We change it, nothing happened! then, he told me it is the GearBox computer, I changed it, and no luck too!
The Fault code remains to say Gerabox computer fault, now, since around 2 months, the fault code is gone! I don't even have a warning on my dash board.

It is under the car on the side of the gearbox
