d this trouble intermittently when on the over run downhill the gearbox comes out of gear and the engine cuts out and gearbox fault is displayed. Now when going down long hills and using the engine braking i put the gear selector in the 3 position.

There is some Tony, at least until the torque convertor unlocks, same in third. In 1 and 2 the torque converter is forced to lock on the overrun.
