M35 Stagea Auto Stuck In 4th Gear

[danwatt]

Has anyone had any issues with there autos stuck in 3rd or 4th gear?

I have had it happen a couple of times where the auto is stuck in 4th. Once i restart the engine it seems to be ok but the A/T light on the dash flashes a few times.

Not sure what the problem is. Fluid seems fine, I cant tell if it is slipping an any gears.

Any advice would be appreciated

i know a few cars will stay in third or 4th if the detect a problem . kinda like a "limp home "mode thay call it . and yeah if the light is comin on then it deff needs connecting to a computer and reading

I have seen some information on the V35 auto's where you can do self diagnostic test and count the number of flashes that the A/T does and it corresponds to a particular electrical signal that may be causing the problem, but it doesnt seem to work for the stagea.
