It'll be low on oil i think not a ecu problem. I had a courtesy car for a while that used to slip/no drive when i went around corners. It was heaps low on gearbox oil. Didn't care though wasnt my car

it aint low on oil cos i did a service on it,it holds in third then it jumps down to second when you take off, i think it might be an ecu prob thats why i just wanna reset it

Ahh, i was more focusing on the slipping around corners. disconnect your battery for about half an hour.

Should do.
When you say "from taking off it jumps from third back to second" is that from a standing start? It sounds like its going into limp home mode. Have you done a dianostic check?

To Reset the ECU, disconnect the positive terminal off your batt, put your foot on the brake pedal so all left over energy will be passed out the tail lights, leave it sit from 30mins to an hour. connect the terminal again start the car and it should be reset

(AFAIK brake lights in falcons don't come on unless the key is on - at least in all my ABS equiped falcons)
