Default Gearbox Problems

When driving at very low speeds, or moving of from a stationary position, the gearbox occaisionally suddenly feeds in the power and it feels as if another car has hit the car in the rear.

It is a very hard imapct.

Also, I have found that sometimes the gearbox finds a neutral if I trail the throttle around a corner and then hit the gas hard.

I assume this must be a gearbox fault, but wonder if it is software or could be a mechanical problem

I do not think software will help, but may be available.

This car is a 1999 for sure, it may be the trans.
