Gearbox Issues
I know there is quite a well known problem with jerky gearboxes, however, this is different and just wondering if anyone else has had this or similar.
My gearbox has been perfect but yesterday I suddenly started experiencing rough shifting when slowing down - feels like someone is jabbing the brakes.
Also, when I take my foot off the accelerator it’s like it is jumping in and out of gear - revs go to tick over, it then jerks and goes back to normal over and over.
I have attached a video.
On my way home just then while stopped at the lights with my foot on the brake (start stop off), the car tried to move forwards but then stalled - happened twice.

Hopefully it’s something easy to fix/replace like a sensor.
I’m just hesitant to take it in this close to Christmas unless it actually breaks down - don’t want to be stuck without a car for ages!

About 2 years ago a Forum member found that a faulty Exhaust sensor went bad causing shifting issues. Haven’t seen much like you describe since then.
