Hi, Have a problem.
I swapped one of my old S Type jags for a lovely looking P38 2001. Engine was diabled and had been for standing for six months. Got it home, fixed the drivers door lock and micro switches. Programmed new keyfob, cleared all warnings, WIndows etc. Coolant leak on u bend at rear of head.
Engine and vehicle really nice.
Problem is this.......It revs high in all gears and slows down on inclines as if slipping. Cleaned and checked filter, drained one load of ATF off. Refilled with correct procedure and slightly better but drive is not good.
My mate assures me it was fine when he parked it up. Oil was really dark brown but no great deposits of sludge or metals in sump.
Can standing cause the Gearbox Ecu's to play up or is there some possible grounding problems. I read somewhere that head temps sensors can cause all sorts of problems, is this correct in the cae of the drive.
Hope the box is not jiggered......only 102k miles and vehicle is in great looked after shape.
No.....not plugged in to get any gearbox codes as yet. obd is all clear using my icarsoft but it does not access gearbox unfortunately.
Any suggestions..........(Dont tell me new Box) not yet.......wrong time for that cost LOL).
Best wishes.
