gears changing

[Michaelw]

Hi i have a 2002 156 and when i put in reverse it goes back to neutral same as first. If i am stopped at the lights or cross road it goes in to neutral and takes time to change gear with acceleration lags. The car yard tell me me its a high revving car that's how they work but scare when it did it to me on a hill at lights. Love the car but this came anyone help me.

thank you
