Mercedes ML320 petrol (2000) sticking in gear when engine is cold

Hi, I’m new to this forum and was wandering if anyone could help and advice. I have a problem with my ML320, basically when the car is cold the gearbox sticks in gear, the gear in which it sticks varies. additionally the following warning light remain ON BAS/ESP Malfunction, ETS Malfunction, ABS Malfunction, Brake Pads Worn, in addition to this the brake warning light is on and the alarm sounds for the first 10 seconds. Whilst driving the speedo doesn’t work and the fuel gauge fluctuates. After the first hour of driving around in whichever gear it decides to stick in, I would also add that whilst this problem occurs it is possible to change from drive to reverse gear ??? ALL the above problems don’t occur ???

I have changed the following sensors, all 4 ABS/ Speed sensors, Cam shaft sensor, I have also serviced the gearbox with new oil filter and gaskets.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE, THANKS

If your ML is of MY 2000, you're on the wrong forum. This is for w 164 model year and yours is w 163.
