While driving along car drops back a gear and wont change up or down. Check gearbox light comes up on dash. I switch off engine and restart, everything returns to normal. This can happen two or three times until car is at operating temperature. Car runs fine when warm. Also a whistling noise becomes audible when car is put in gear. Dont know if this is part of the same problem. Please shed some light on this matter.

We have no info on these cars. But take and have a trans guy run a scan on it to see what code comes up.
