Interesting! When you say 'sensor problem', which sensor are you referring to? Was it difficult to locate and replace? Thanks for the insight!

Honestly, I'm no mechanic! I just took it to the workshop, and they mentioned something about a faulty sensor on the gearbox. They replaced it, and it solved the issue. Best to have a pro look at it.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like I should take it to a workshop. I will post what the repairs were. At least I have an idea of what to expect.

Whoa, sounds rough! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra. The display wasn't completely dead, but it was showing the wrong gear half the time, and the shifts were jerky. Is it possible that this is a sensor problem?
