FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi guys,

when im driving in my automatic FTO it randomly jumps into neutral and it wont go back into gear even though the gear stick is in Drive. The only way I have figured to get the car working again is to disconnect my battery and reconnect it which I believe restarts the computer and I can then drive again.

Any idea on how to fix this or what the problem is?

Whens the last time the oil was changed in the gearbox thats where I would start from previous threads on auto fto problems

Yeah what he said ^^^

Yeah might be time to buy my spare auto gearbox mate :shh:

Thanks guy I will give it a go, it has been serviced but not sure when the last gearbox oil change was done, we took it to an auto elec who checked and said there is a fault coming up but not stating what code it is so thought it might be an electrical fault with the ecu... thus why when I disconnect and reconnect the battery it works again...any thoughts or still the gear box oil?

I'd start with a fluid flush, then you can actually check what error codes the trans is throwing up: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14667
