High Idle Issue

Hi Flemming,
the gearbox oil has been changed last winter, only driven about 4000 km since. The colour is pinkish -red and the level is ok. However, the shifts are very rough sometimes, especially from first to second, and from park to reverse. And as I said before, in drive when I'm stationary, it's like someone is pushing the car from behind so I have to press the brake very hard to stop the car from moving forwards.

Problem solved !!!!!
Rather embarrassingly, it was my fault.
There are two screws that hold a metal bracket stuck to the throttle body. That metal bracket holds the accelerator cable and the cruise control cable. I unscrewed them, not knowing that they have a certain position to be put back in. The holes for them allow a certain play and they have to be put back exactly as they were. Obviuosly, I didn't know that and in the manner that I put them togheter, the whole ensemble was tightening the accelerator cable, resulting in the high idle.
Thanks for all the advice and opinions.
PS Now I got a whole bunch of spare parts
