Automatic gearbox issue.

2002 Renault Scenic 1.6 Fidji Auto
Car: Renault Scenic
Year: 2002
Variant: 1.6 Fidji Auto
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
I fully serviced the car, by the book. 35,000 mileage. very good nick.

Drove fine for the first 3 miles then auto gear shifter wouldn't go into Drive, then it was sliding forwards/backwards with no resistance at all.

Car stuck in 1st gear, and as a result will not start as you have to be in Park.

I have located the emergency shifter release underneath lining, but all that does is move it, still stuck in 1st.

A lot of coolant drained out of the thermostat onto some wires, could that be the issue?

Thanks for the help
