Welcome to CL! Kamusta Ka?
Run a diagnostic on the ECT. There is a diagnostic port on the bottom right of the dash (Soarer) that plugs into a diagnostics decoder. Check out Soarer Central for more specific information too.

Ahh ok then cool, probably end up staying somewhere near Blacktown if you're gonna be around Filos hahaha 
The diagnostic would throw up a code on the machine if there were faulty solenoids. If there's no faulty solenoids then the gearbox could be going.
