I had a similar issue a few months ago, cruising normally and I was stuck behind a line of cars on a country road. Slipped into sports mode and booted it to pass them. $1.75 later and I'm past bt car stuck in 3rd or 4th and auto display ( where it shows what gear you are in) was fplashing and it would not change gear. Pulled up down the road, I could selt reverse but that was about it. Turned car off and ofn again and no drams.I was told the auto had gone into limp mode.Now this may not be exactly the same as you. Mine is a BF with a ZF pumping 370 at the wheels.May have just gone into limp mode but you just really dont know. I have heard alot of fluid levels/temp and the filter on the auto getting clogged.Hope this helps in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise it was a built tranny.Could still have gone into limp mode. Dunno. I'm having a few issues too. They say they are rated this and that but they are one of the best (arguably) transmission in production cars. Anyway, I'll keep looking to see if anyone else helps you out.
