Renault Scenic automatic gearbox fault ?? car drives in reverse but not forward

Car: Renault Scenic
Variant: monaco auto 2000reg 5dr hatchback
Model Year: 2000

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

Hi there, we have a problem with our auto scenic. No warning lights. We cannot drive forward but we can reverse. The power is there and it wants to move but it just wont. We have talked to a few mechanics and have come to the conclusion of a gearbox fault. If anybody can help. We have priced up a reconditiond box which is over £1000....but would be alot happier as we cant afford it if any one has any suggestions. My husband is a hgv mechanic so knows his way around an engine but not so much a gearbox. Thanks
