hello to all jag fans out there.

for a first posting this will probably look straight to the point but i'm a bit desperate .
I have an S-TYPE JAGUAR. 3 LITRE V6 AUTOMATIC.R.H.D. first registered Sept.2001. it would be great if anyone out there could help me.

I parked the car last night on a slight uphill incline and selected 'P'. when i took my foot slowly
off the brake it roll a few inches backward. I left the car for a few minutes and when i returned
started the car and tried to select 'R' to reverse out of parking area. The gear lever was stick in 'R'.
I thought it was just a bit stiff and pulled a little harde to try and move it into reverse and something
sheared or snapped. The gear lever could now move freely 'very freely' between all of the gear selection.
The car was now stuck in 'P' and i couldn't move it. I had to call for a recovery truck to get me back home.
The serice man was very helpfull and had to use a couple of dollies under the rear wheels to allow the car
to be reversed onto the trailer as the wheels were locked in the 'P' position. Now the question is...
Do you have any idea what actually could have broke on the car. If possible i'll carry out the repair work
myself if it is pretty straight forward but i have a fully qualified car mechanic to help if required.
I am quite proud of the car it's in (or was in) perfect condition 100% and it's actually the first car that i've
owned and never bought a workshop manual...there's confidence for you.
Does anyone have any pdf files from a workshop manual showing the area in question.?

thanks in advance for any help.

kind regards to all readers.

Hey doug welcome to the forums

I'm honestly not trying to bust your chops on this matter, but this is the new member section primarliy for welcoming, new members, so you're unlikely to get much response here.

Try posting into either the S type section or the general tech help section for better results.
There are also FAQ's and TSB's in that section that may help!

Good luck
