Another problem it could be, is the 'digital' shifter. There are a few posts about that as well. If it would help, download the service manual from here, do a little research there then search a few posts about the trans plate or shifter. If these things are not within your capability, an independent European shop might be able to help you once you have an idea what is wrong (by doing the steps above ie service manual and perusing the posts about the trans and shifter). That would be my starting point, but it may not be everyones thing to try to fix themselves. Good luck!
