On my Jaguar X 2004 2.5 AWD estate, when starting to drive, the gearbox does not change into the top gear, and an orange light appears on the dashboard with a statement Gearbox problem. The revs shown were 5000 rpm for a road speed of 70 mph. Is this a known fault, and what is the recovery.
Hey johnhoile,
Sorry to break the bad new to you, put you most likely need a transmission depending on what codes are stored in the system. I have dont numerous automatic transmission on x-types all they all started with a gear box fault light on.
If the codes have something to do with a incorrect gear ration that is a guarantee red flag for a new transmission
Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must
now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and
"scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the
problem(s)
