We have a Zafira 2.2 2005. It changes gear fine going up the box but sticks in 4th and doesn't want to come down, we can bring it down manually or if we stop the engine and restart it rests itself.

It drives beautifully but this probalem so annoying

I have got a vauxhall Omega 2.5 Elite automatic gears, and the gearstick is starting to stick in park after the ignition is started the engine, what could be the fault?

if the gearbox is working ok, and just the fault indicator, try cleaning the selector (under the gaiter) as they get dusty i use standard switch cleaner and a soft cloth

I have a problem with an Opel Omega 1993 2.0 l,
The car drives no prblem,just ones in a while the S light on the automatic gear appears, and the car goes in protection and it doesnt go any more, (it goes very slow for a good while),
I ve changed the gear oil and filter, but it didnt change much. Would you be able to help me?
Thank you very much and have a good day,

nearly allways the gear selector quaudrant on gearbox done hundreds over last 14years easy to sort out remove part from box (on left hand side) strip out and clean out (gets corroded) should cure it done 3 this month so far.

The gearbox is electronically controlled,which means when a fault occurs the computer knows about it.
It could be an electrical fault,ie a solenoid a speed sensor the selector switch,or if the gearbox is slipping the computer will pick it up and put the fault light on.
It needs to be scanned with a vauxhall tech2 diagnostic machine or a similar scanner.
