AUTO gear selector struggles to select park, and 1st.

My recently purchased JDM bugeye auto sport shift WRX saloon has an 'effing gear selector problem :stop:

AUTO gear selector struggles to select park, and 1st.

I'm not sure if the problem exists under the car or in the cockpit under the console trim.

I've scoured the internet (well NAISOC and some threads on sf.org) and I can find threads about cars stuck in park, but not the other way around, and in those cases it seems to be a corroded solenoid.

I'm not sure if it will turn out to be an electrical problem or some sort of mechanical linkage problem.

try oil change also I think theres a little management system on the the gearboxes that can play up. my mate had a audi a4 with triptronic which did the same and main dealers said it needs a new gearbox 4.000,but he found out theres a little panel on side of gearbox with the management system in side which he replaced for £170
