[and]

Hi new to the club my name is steve and live in wolverhampton
SORRY if i am in the wrong place
i have a xc70 petrol auto it has a gearbox
I have no reverse but reverse lights are working but drives forward in reverse
Also drives forward in all the other shifter positions
Will engage neutral when engine off but will not start but with car running drives forward in neutral ???
I have replaced the pnp switch not a new one i might add
Sorry for a long 1st thread

Hi steve
you need to check the gear cable is correctly adjusted when the lever is in park make sure the arm on the gearbox is fully in park position (end of its travel) the clue is it wont start in neutral assuming the pnp switch is ok it must be adjustment on the cable
hope this helps cheers jim

Thanks jim i will check that later and let you no

:stupid:

Totally agree! The car should only start in Neutral and Park. Your symptoms would suggest the gear selector in the gearbox is not matching that of the gear selector inside the cabin.
Either the gear cable has broken/disconnected or it needs adjusting.
Note: Gear cables generally don't need adjustment as they are so thick they don't stretch. Of course, the previous owner could have not refitted it correctly.

Thanks for the help guys i no its early but I have had a look i checked the cable and it seemed correct so I have disconnected the cable and worked the lever manually on the gearbox still doing the same so probably the box is foo bard thanks again for the info

Hi guys dont no what is going on it dont move when in park no which it shouldnt but will only rev to about 2500 rpm
Will now not drive forward in reverse it did before
Drives foreward in neutral
And as it should drives in drive
I realey hope the box isnt gone as i am not going to pay over a grand or more for one
I have heard that the 55/50 SN is fitted to a few cars and they are coming up a lot cheaper so what could the differance be apart from i suppose the transfer box and torque converter any thoughts at all thanks steve

Has anyone filled the box with oil recently and if they did how was it done ??, as there were past problems caused when people topped up there boxes by what they thought was an oil filler plug, but it was a bolt that located the selectors and when removed knackered the box and could not be fixed without a full stripdown...from what I remember

I do know for sure that the auto ecu will limit engine revs in park and neutral, 2500 sounds a bit low though, as I though it was limited to 4000, but that may change across the years and models

Hi i have just fitted another pnp switch and still doing the same looks like another g/box or strip down or scap it I don't no any other ideas thanks

[and]

Hi i have drained the oil out of the gear box and I expected to see a fair bit of swarf and debris but nothing only brown fairly strong smelling oil could any of the solenoids be bad because of bad oil any thoughts thanks
