ford mondeo 1998 model - gear problem - olu

The problem is that the gear sometimes refuse to pick up When you press the accelerator, it will only make noise, but after a while, say third time or more it will pick up. The reverse mode is also affected. And when it picks up it suddenly jack back, and sometimes either when in speed or slow movement, it surges forward that you hear the noise. My mechanic changed the oil, but did not abate. Last week the mechanic worked on the gear, cleaning some place with fuel, after that, the reverse mode completely faiied while it also fails to select gear mainting only gear one. Pls kindly iform me on what is the problem and what to do. I forgot to add that it is automatic transmission and 2.0 petrol engine

There's your problem. Fuel has no place in an auto box. Take it to someone with a clue. He probably runied your box.
