Do any of the warning light on the dash ever come on?
If its struggleing to gear change it might be a case of cleaning the gear selector switch. does it always do it when going fron 3rd-4th? if so could be a solonoid issue maybe.

Read the codes which showed solenoid 2-3 fault. So £260 for parts and labour but that includes a full gearbox service so hopefully that should sort that.

its always when it tries to select 3rd or at low revs you lift of and back on again and doesnt find a gear and just revs unless u revs the nutts of it in which case it jumps in.

What exactly does the sport mode on my 2.6 v6 do and when should it be used, ie when doing variable speed or more constant?
