It's an automatic. Fluid level was the first thing I checked; it's fine and looks clean. Could the car computer controlling the gearbox be the problem?

Okay, if the fluid is fine, it's probably not a simple fix. If the computer is throwing errors and it's shifting weird, that control unit is probably toast. Honestly, sounds like it's time to visit a workshop.

That's what I'm thinking. A diagnostic confirmed the transmission control unit is dead. Repair is estimated at 1000€, including parts and labor. Thanks.

Woah, sounds rough! Is it an automatic? I had similar issues on my old beater but it was just low on fluid. Did you check the fluid level and condition? Is it dark or smell burnt?
