Have you checked the trans fluid condition and level yet? It might just need a top up of fluid.

yeah my parents had a mitsubishi van... cant remember what its called but it was slipping like crazy... asked my dad and it had never had the auto gearbox serviced in 200,000ks.... nearly lost my **** right there lol... anyway got it serviced by a mechanic and the oil was apparently a sludge but now its driving like normal... if youve looked after yours then id be taking it to a mechanic who knows what hes talking about

if the fault is MECHANICAL e/g/ worn bands then no light will come up UNTIL it cant AT ALL physically select a gear as picked up by the output speed sensors....
if fluid isnt milky due to blown trans cooler in radiator then time for a rebuild.. sorry man...

LOL! Fluid smelling burnt simply means its due for new fluid.

LOL, Puts a light on when you're sitting on the side of the road free reving... That's almost as useful as the oil pressure light in a HQ....
