In service history i found that fluid was replaced with Honda Z1 fluid. Then car was on the road for about 2000 km, then parked due to problem with gearbox.

Fluid:

What's going on OXYGEN? You posted exactly the same symptoms and pics weeks ago on the other site and we gave you the same advice to change the fluid as a first step since it does not look right. You said you would fill with the correct fluid but now you have repeated all your problems without having done so?

Don't understand. I wrote that i replaced now all fluid with correct and now no more limp modes..
And now my question is: This Jatco transmission in D mode starts from 1 or from 2nd gear? Because if i start driving in "2" mode, there was no switchings at all.

What happens if you start driving in 'D' mode?

OK, today i tested at our parking, seems that there is another problem in the box. Very long swithing to 4 (seems that 4) gear. Up to 2800 revs with minimal accelerator.

My father had a similar problem on a Ford, it turned out to be the Speed Sensor, I think its located on the outside of the box, can be seen from under the car.

So it does change up beyond 2nd then.

If you use very light accelerator pressure then it's very possible that the transmission will hold onto lower gears for longer. This is definitely the case when the engine and transmission are cold, for a few minutes after starting, by design.

I wonder whether you are looking for a fault when there isn't one. Can you test drive the car in a normal variety of traffic conditions?
