Manual-mechanics' response on the topic Re: Automatic gearbox Renault Megane Classic
I have the same problem with a 2.0 automatic Megane Expression... I can drive around town without any issues, but when I accelerate to around 100-110 km/h, it downshifts to 3rd gear and there's a noticeable engine braking effect... I hope someone can help... or if you managed to fix it, could you share how you solved it?

Thanks!!! And good luck!!!

Manual-mechanics' response on the topic Re: Automatic gearbox Renault Megane Classic
I had the same problem, and the solution was very easy. It took them quite a while to figure it out, but I was lucky enough to find a mechanic who took the time to look for the fault and found it. Let me tell you, the first thought was to replace the whole gearbox, but after several tests, they found the solution. All of this took me several
months, but that's the least of it.

First, they changed the spark plugs, and... nothing (they thought it might be an
electrical issue).
Then the ignition coils, and... still nothing.
In the end, they changed the solenoid valve that regulates the transmission lubrication, or
something like that. They also changed the transmission fluid.

From what you're saying, the problem was exactly the same. I think you can rest easy. Above all, don't let them touch anything without knowing what's wrong. They connect the computer, and with the car running, it generates a graph of all the parameters.
If you'd like me to call you, send me a number; I'm very interested in helping you.

My car repair invoice says:

Have faith, I was desperate, especially considering it was a new car.
