Thanks for the warm welcome it was unexspected. I am a huge car car , very passionet about cars. This Jaguar is my newest baby after clearing codes and working on car for two months she has finally came to life. please someone help me with this trans, shifting issue. New jgate will not allow from Drive to manual side it will with top off so im sure its a adjustment needing made. Trans im worried due to having to rev to 2000 rpms it is a valve body issue,shift cylinoid or a A drum problem. I think? I have delt with patiantly working thru all 26 codes 1 remainning which can be cleared but when thrown in drive after reving to.2000 rpms come on gear box fault (exspected). i am very causious of my next move .Due i now pull tranny. I have only spent a total of 100 dollars to clear and fix all codes. For example resricted flow code= cut cat convertors both completely solid top to bottom beating with no damage for 3 days completely clear clearing code. So yes im will to work for any productive result for my car

I love the car, she speak for herself.
