absz Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 top of my head, might be speed sensor related ? as it needs to know the rpm and speed to select the right gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 maybe a loose connection to the box or failing that i would look at replacing the solenoid pack in the box from a scapper, not a massive job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
