More problems, this time gear box : (

Well today I jacked up the L/H side of the car so that I could see if I could get to where the engine loom is connected to the auto box. not much room to get to the connectors without dropping the back of the box down so I decided to check the loom as best as I could with it still on the car but disconnected to the engine so I could turn it round and check for damage. It all looks ok so I replaced some of the old and brittle plastic covering and put it all back together. Reconnected the battery and she fired up first time, excellent!. I then set off for a drive to see how long it would be until it cut out again but the gear box is stuck in first ? It also clucks into reverse and drive. Very confused as it was fine the last time I used her. I checked the ATF and it was low so topped it up with about 1 litre and tried it again. It was the same. Anyone got any Ideas? Mike.

Got to be something like a plug not reconnected or a wire not quite right if it was ok before Mike 
Can only suggest you go through the connections, making sure the wires are secure in the plugs.

Thats what I was thinking but I've been alround it again, I had the it all off up to the r/h lambda, didn't even touch the gear box connecters as they were to difficult to get to. I will have another look under the bonnet in a minute now that I have warmed up a bit!
