Thats OK I smashed my left knee at 20 by riding into the side of a car (their fault) and snapped a tendon in left ankle 6 years ago so an auto is good for my leg.

It is OK, I can walk, cycle, drive manuals on open roads but it hurts a lot when stuck in traffic.

Let's hope it's something simple then and not the selector switch  :-/

Sometimes, all my gear lights light up all at the same time!! Never had any problems changing/selecting gears, so I've always ignored it, my Omega is a workhorse ;D

Mine currently does this, and I believe it is the selector switch.

I also have various other problems with my autobox, such as clunking and it kicking down gears on it's own. I'm hoping replacing the switch will sort these problems too.

An ATF change might be in order.....if you havent done one....this can sort out probs with the autobox  :y
