98 Facelift Scorpio Ultima 2.3. Automatic Gearbox

Hi All,
I am searching for advice as to why my gearbox is acting up in the way it is.
When the car is cold, It dosent like going into reverse, it mis-fires to the extent that it has cut out before now. but after driving the car forward for 5 minutes it works as it should, I have suffered with it over the summer but with winter imminent I may have to decide the cars future. I have recently had a replacment fuel pump fitted ( Thanks Big Steve ) The sills have just been repaired for the MOT, as well as the front brake pipes, last week one of the coil packs packed up and needed replacing. I have spent over £1000.00 pounds on the car in the past three months, and the coffers are almost empty. I am thinking if the Gearbox is in need of a rebuild, it might be time for us to part company.
I begrudge getting rid of the car because it has always been ultra reliable, up untill the fuel pump issues, and the ride and handling speaks for itself. I am hoping its a relay or something simple(cheap).
Many Thanks in advance, Great website for all Scorpio Owners. Clearly one of the best cars Ford ever supplied.

If you need a spare 2.3 auto gearbox...I have one sitting in my garage 
It came from an S reg car with about 90k miles - I checked the fluid before I bought it as a spare and it was a nice cherry pink colour.
Collection only as it is a bit heavy...drop me a PM if interested.

"I have one sitting in my garage "
For those unfamiliar with Mike's storage arrangements this is an adjunct to his famous shed!! 
Before you say a word Mike you knew there would be a comment!

Aye Simmo you're right! It's like, "I have a spare frying-pan if you need to cook".
Anyway, presumably you have extensively cleaned the MAF sensor, this sometimes has adverse effects on the gearbox.
