Jan 2007 at 21:17 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 Undecided

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.
