[94 Stato V8]

Just had a very similar problem with my stato.
Hey before I go any further, hows the varitronic steering? has that stopped too?

Check fuse 12 if thats stopped and it should fix the trans too.

Failing that pull the trans pan and Ohm check the solenoids, specs are in the workshop manual.

Try this tread I had the same problem (2/3 kept going and it turned out the little electrical clip to the solenoid on the wiring harness had broken. If this is what happened to u it was probably caused by the mechanic being too rough as the wiring harness is quite fragile. Make them pay for replacement if that is whats wrong.

Cheers hope the link helps.
