I bought my dad's 508.

It is now 7 years old but only has 18500 genuine miles on it, so I would rather hold on to it and who would buy it anyway with a gearbox that is more than terrible, and has always been terrible.

Is there no-one or no way to rip that crap gearbox out and put and ordinary 6 speed auto in its place? Can't really put manual in cos I have a bad hip.

And before anyone asks, it has the usual e gearbox issues. Doesn't know what gear to go into pulling hard from standing start. Reversing is a guessing game as to when it will let go on the clutch, usually letting go far too much.

Only changes down into first properly at slow speeds when crawling to a roundabout junction, if it in sport mode.

Dropping the clutch too much in sport mode pulling out of a junction so the esp comes on and the car drops all power for a split second.

Can't afford a new car and this car would be alright except for that gearbox.

Already been at garage for a gearbox reset/upgrade, didn't make a bit of difference.

Thanks.
