MR2 Autobox driving me nuts

Can anyone shed any light on what this problem might be.

 

First of all, cars an MR2 SW20 with an autobox, 3 speed with overdrive.

 

1) A while ago it started dropping out of overdrive

2) then overdrive stopped working altogether

3) Overdive came back but would stop working intermitantly

4) Then car not returning to first when in Drive so have to pull stick to L to move off

5) Now no 3rd gear or overdrive unless car decides to let us have it.

6) Now O/D light flashes sometimes but not always

 

Ive changed the fluid and filter but with no luck, problems just gradually getting worse. Wont be long til shes down to 1st gear only.

 

This is a £500 car so not worth getting a garage to look at it but i don't know what else to try. Do i need a new gearbox or what can i do.

 

She wont sell/scrap it cos she loves it to much but its getting to the point where we can only do short journeys as it goes everywhere in 2nd at 50mph. Even trucks pass it on the Motorway.

 

Please Help!:(
