Taken it for a little test drive and noticed it works and responds like it should in low gear...when in high it's sluggish...slow off mark and does what I said above with reverse.

Did the same thing when I started it....in high...in reverse foot flat down and staying at idle rev...nothing kicked in until I put in park and revs shot up since foot on excelerator...the straight in to reverse but took about 3 seconds to slowly reverse until revs picked up.

Hello Dave,

I’m afraid not!!! It is still happening....I got a feeling that the pack within the auto box is on its last legs :-(

Was it easy to remove the XYZ switch and do the repair...well clean inside it?
