When shifting from park to Reverse I hear a loud '' mechanical noise'' from the transmission.
The engine light goes On and stays on.
From Reverse to DRIVE again the loud mechanical noise and while the Engine light is still on the Led display for the gear box flashed X X X
The car seems to be taking off at a much higher gear 3rd or 4th.
I tried to shift it to 3 2 or one but nothing happens.
No power , the car wouldn't make it passed a hill start.
After turning the car On and Off 5 to 8 times the engine light would come off and and the car will be fine again till the next time
Happens every few hours of driving.
WHY????
Hey mate, Had exactly the same problem. Suggest you take the car to your local auto transmission repair centre (not holden) and they can check the electrical diagnostics - if it the Transmission inhibitor Switch (as it was on mine - if so should cost you no more than 1 hour labour and about $75 - $95 for the switch.
Not a solution but a the same thing has just happened last week to my mothers 06/07 viva.. I drove it a few months ago and noticed a rumble or loud road noise. Was told it was tyre noise but her mechanic who services it now (out of Holden warranty) thought the noise was bearings and checked every one but they were okay. Appears this may have been the gearbox slowly getting worse which was not picked up by Holden after their last $1000 service. .
Having the same problem with my g friend's golden viva I located the inhibition switch. just opened the hood and its at the top of the gear box. dose anyone know if it is a straight swap or is there more to it.
It
can be issue with gears or problem with transmission and needs to be rebuilt.

My '08 Viva has done the exact same thing. Have you got it fixed? What was it and how much did it cost to get repaired?
Had it tested at autozone, code came up as PO107. Seems to be driving ok , no over heating, starts up fine only thing its doing is when u first take off in car it changes gear real hard.
hi for all this comments easy fix the parts cost around $100 to fit araound $200
