Thanks JeanLuke. Nope, not a single error code. Not on the engine and not on the transmission. This is what baffles me the most and it is going on for days basically since I changed the . If an error code appears I could at least clear it and then continue driving but this way it just throwing stuff at the wall, hoping that something will stick and solve the issue. There is not a particular gear, but more or less when I start the engine and try to drive. So it must be in 1st gear already unless you would start in 2nd as it is mentioned on the web page RTB just posted.

Will have a look at the FSM and see what I can do to clean those valves.
