I wish! Jaguar tell me I need a new gearbox, a snip at just under £10K. A scholar at the pub tells me it’s a common fault caused by failing solenoids in the mechatronic valve block. Having done my own research I think he’s right and if so I think it can be fixed for maybe 1K.
TCM is a possibility but the solenoids are more common. I’ve not really considered the torque converter because I’m not aware it can produce this fault.
The torque converter is a component that transfers power from the engine to the transmission. If the torque converter is worn out or damaged, it may not engage properly, leading to the transmission shifting into neutral. A qualified mechanic can inspect the torque converter for any signs of wear or damage but go down the other routes first hopefully fluid or fluid change could be a cure.
That would be costly, replacing my transmission fluid is about £200 a time!
Oh we have a hotel room. Her work are paying.
