A FFRR that doesn't want to stay in D. Great...

switching from neutral to drive feels very "spongy", almost like its not properly seating. Will drive ok until braking then then the gear selection moves into limbo between D and N with no selection showing on the dash and no drive to the wheels. Doesn't move to N and a light pressure on the stick re-engages drive. Am having to drive with my hand on the stick to maintain a bit of back pressure to stop it disengaging when braking.

Any ideas?

Will give it a try - cheers Gaz!

I've also had this exact problem. It was the linkage, which was easily sorted by my local independant for about £60
I hope this helps
