Freelander 2 (LR2) Possible to switch to reverse when driving

Akroni · May 20, 2024

This happened a few times now on my 2007 TD4 manual. The gearshift is able to go to the reverse slot when the car is moving, but I obviously haven't done it as I know what it will do to the car. I'm not scared of it, but it becomes a problem when someone else might drive my Freelander as they might select reverse instead of the 6th gear.

Are there any known components that will break from the gearshift and make it possible to select reverse when the car is moving?

If you have not done it yet how do you know it will go into reverse when trying to find 6th gear?

I mean, the gearshift extends to the side so much it would be possible to switch to reverse just by pulling the gearshift back. I believe it is not supposed to do that normally.

I have a fault code P0801, reverse inhibit control circuit malfuction. I'm going to replace the reverse sensor and see if that fixes the issue.
