i have recently changed my 18rc from manual to auto as my gf cant drive manual....And have a few problems
If you are reversing or driving real slow like 5 km/h or sitting still it flicks from in gear to neitral and back and you have to rev it to like 2000 for it to jump back into gear and then jumps around...What could it be???

You can only check the level accurately when it is at operating temperature and still running (don't switch off the motor to check it). Make sure it shows on the stick to start with (should have cold/hot markings, then take it for a drive (get it to operating temp, make sure you go through all the gears etc)... then once its hot check the level and fill it to the top of the hot (then once its cooled down completely, ie overnight, you can use the cold marking on the dipstick as a reference).

sounds like it needs a good service... drain the fluid out and put a new filter in it and gasket and new fluid.. if it still does it when you top it up or a lil bit funny do a service on it
