Been driving a Falcon ute for work the last 2 weeks so used to the Ford style of tiptronic (tap forward to go a lower gear). So jumped in the R34 this morning and was doing about 50 in third when I tapped the gearbox back twice to go up to fourth - so it obviosuly changed down to first with a big jerk at about 60km/h...

After I stopped cursing I discovered the car would now not change out of first in tiptronic mode, kept trying for about 200 metres, no luck, stuck it in D for about 200 metres and no luck either. So came to a complete stop in D and then took off and everything was normal.

Is this a sign of autobox going or diff going? or did I just overheat the clutch packs or something?? I like to fix problems before they become bigger ones...car is running 200rwkw (for about 2 weeks now).
