I suggest you check ATF fluid levels in gearbox as a start. But I also suspect you might see a code 19 recorded and this will probably be related to the  Crankshaft sensor needing to be replaced. I had similar problems with my 2.5 V6 auto and full gearbox oil change and crankshaft sensor replacement cured the problem.  good luck with your fault finding.

I have a decent AR35 gearbox here for £50 including the torque converter if you are interested???

Ok mate, unfortunately Omegas arent worth a great deal in full working order...and like every car, a lot less when they are needing work doing :(
