Hi guys, i'm having a few problems with my Omega but it's mainly the Automatic gearbox, mine is a 2001 3.2 Special.

First of all sometimes next to the display unit, a small cog warning light with a "!" will appear and the auto box will not change gears itself meaning i have to change manually. If i switch the car on and off this fixes it however.

Secondly, sometimes when travelling down a hill or a flat road applying no throttle, the car will automatically shift into neutral and won't shift back into gear when i accelerate.

I'm prepared to replace the gearbox (Car is Ex-police and has 144,000 miles) but was just wondering if there's anything else i can do before to fix it?

Many Thanks

that's your car's way of flagging up a gearbox fault. Try to get it on a fault code reader.
