Hello and welcome to Just Answer
My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I've been an automotive engineer since 1996 and together we're going to solve this issue.
can you tell me if the transmission is automatic or manaul
do you have any fault lights illuminated on the dash?
is there any lack of power or trouble accelerating?
also what is the engine size and fuel type?

Ok
thanks for the extra info
in that case I'd say the next step is to take a look at the colour of the transmission oil it should be a dark red colour if its black then its needs changing together with its oil filter. Also check its level with the gearbox warm and just after you've moved the selector through all the positions leaving it for a few seconds in each one and then back to park.
You can top up the box through the fill plug on the side if required and make sure you use the correct oil for your car as the fluids are not all the same. Some manufacturers recommended a change of the type of fluid - Speak to the local dealer and parts dept - they will advise you on the updated fluid to use..
If that’s all OK then check all the electrical connections of the gearbox, remove each connector in turn and spray with contact cleaner. Check that the wiring to the gearbox is in good condition with no chafing or frayed wire
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
