Hi all,

I got the car home yesterday. I was able to drive it by locking it up in 3. and use the throttle gently. It seems that it drivers like it should through 1. 2. and 3. When shifting up to 4. it just "pops" og "slips" out of gear. I have to put the selector to P or N, stop and restart engine to get it moving after that. I got an "EP" showing up in the display during this. I have not done any checking yet, but as you say, an oil change would be the first resonable atempt. Will try to carry out this someday the next week. I wall also check the solenids resistance with a multimeter. I guess that a resistance check of the solenoids will only reveal "burned" solenoid coils and not a "sticky" solenoid valve??
If this not helps, I will go for a reverse piston replacement. What would be the typical symptoms of a cracked reverse piston??

Thanks for all advice so far
