how can i fix renault scenic auto gearbox?

the car is a 1600cc 2002,When in drive and standing at traffic lights/traffic jams,the gearbox has a mind of its own and trys to move the car forward,this is controlled by the use of the footbreak
which causes shuddering.(the kids call the car Skippy).This is the second gearbox to my knowledge,only 3960miles on the speedo.

If engine idles fine then, if the fault is worse hot, then it's possibly overfilled and if worse cold, under-filled. If it does it all the time it may be that the manual valve has not been set correctly when its been messed with. Its not ABS sensors. The other possibility is a partially snapped band (on in 1 and 2)

i just had this problem on a peugeot , turns out it goes like this

The gearbox is controlled by the abs unit , those litle teeth on the end of the driveshaft tell the gearbox if its moving or not and how fast , there is a control box tats located under the gear shifter , i had to replace that and the 2 abs sensors , 1 on each wheel , i got the box from a scrapyard for 20 quid and the abs sensors were a fiver a pop brand new from the car spares shop

if u gonna takle it yourself id try just changing the abs sensors 1st as this was the actual cause of mine , no box needed :( , still did it after box change which is how i know bout the sensors , dead easy job , take off wheel and u will know what the sensor is as its the only bit near the brakes with a wire , follow the wire to a star head screw , undo screw pull out sensor , unplug ..... plug in new 1 and stick screw back in

hope this helps

what does rev counter show, if overreving, this could cause car to try and move.
