Position switch on side of box is faulty. They can be stripped and cleaned. IF you know what your doing.

i also have a 1999 diesel auto with 98k and my gearbox seems sluggish at changing gear compared to my 14 year old discovery tdi thats done 135k and when it goes from 2nd to 3rd its like a slipping clutch? revs go from say 2000 rpm upto 3000 rpm and back down again, only does it in 3rd gear? im just thinking ££££££££ lol
