Sorry mate, but these 'ere codes ain't got nuffink to do wif g/boxes.
P0100 is a MAF malfuntion.
P1605 is a 'Keep Alive Memory Test Failure' whatever that is.
If yer box is 'slipping' when warm I would check:
1. That the fluid level is correct.
2. When it was last changed.
If it's way overdue for a change (60K miles) or low on fluid it might well erform badly.
Is it changing smoothly or jerkily?

Check fluid level immediately.
One problem is that you cannot drain ALL of the old oil out - so it can only be a part change.
When was it changed last?
If you don't have cast-iron proof of it recently then
I suggest a g/box oil change right away- it can work wonders.
Check on here for all the things to look out for if you're going to DIY.

Had something similar with the wife's RRC... Fair play to her she got a bargain cos it was described as jerking and 'slipping' when warm, so she bought thinking it would 'just' need an autobox change...(like I wouldnt have enough to do)
She got it back and found all that was wrong was the fluid level was WAY too low..I topped it up and now running fine.
Start it cold, select neutral then check level dipstick. Don't bother doin it without the engine running or when hot cos youll get a false reading

Unfortunately there is no dipstick on a FL - but the more I think about it I suspect the fluid level.
Check the thread here on another forum. Different car but same engine, same g/box, same problem.

needs to be the exact amount of the exact correct fluid with the gearbox at the exact correct temperature IIRC, best left to the experts unless you've got access to ramps etc
