transmission problem on 960 900

I have a '94 960 with an AW43 transmission. Few months ago the WSE lights started blinking together with the orange arrow sign on the dashboard. Since then I can only start in a sort of "winter drive" only (think directly from 3rd gear) and I lost the 'kick back' mode when trying to overtake at higher speed.

I went to the only Volvo service available at the moment in Romania (yes, by the way I am Romanian) and the tech guys had a look, read some codes, scrached their heads and came up with "we are not sure as to what is actually causing the problem, probably need to replace the transmission computer, that will cost you about 1000euros and min 3months for spare delivery"...

I had since browsed the internet, found this site, replaced the PNP sensor (gear position sensor) with a brand new one shipped by a friend in Sweden (for only ~100euros+P&P by the way) unfortunately it did not cure the problem.

Would it be possible to give me some further tips on this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Costa
