Auto tranny issues and Check Gearbox light (long)

I drive a '97 900s auto with 57,000 miles. I bought it used last March with 34K on it. Especially on cold mornings, the check gearbox light comes on. I often drive down a long steep hill in the morning and downshift to second before I go down to take advantage of engine braking. If I do that with the check light on, the car gets stuck in 3rd. I am somewhat of a newbie, but I don't understand why I can't manually select a gear when this happens. Its a pain in the ass, because after the downhill is stop sign and a steep uphill. Its tough starting out in third in an auto! I am now kicking myself for succumbing to adulthood and buying an automatic - one more thing to go wrong. If I stop the car and restart, the light will still be on, but the tranny will function normally. The check engine light always accompanies the geabox light. Help! (I did buy an extended warranty). BTW, engine runs like a top.
