Issue w/ 2005 X-Type 3.0 automatic, just stopped starting. Possibly related, about 1 year ago car started making this bad grinding when starting, as if already running, but only happened about once a month. I'd just set and disable alarm again and it'd then start right up?? Thought may have been just alarm but has gotten worse and other problems I see on here may be culpable.

So then one day it just stopped starting. All fully powered just didn't even turn over. Here's what I've done to try to fix so far:

Replaced Battery- no change at all

Pulled out TCM & inspected ECM- seemed dry and no corrosion/damage

Replaced the whole J-gate and Shifter assembly hoping it'd fix...it didn't

Now, when turn key, Reverse light is on but shifter is in Park. If put Shifter in Drive, Neutral lights up, and car will start. Only the R and N lights ever light up. Guess transmission cable needs to be adjusted?

Here's potential bigger issue: Car still only goes into and moves in Reverse!!! I think the cable may still be an issue but it doesn't move or even seem to engage into any gear, except Reverse???

Says Gearbox fault randomly and computer read PO706 at first, transmission range sensor and currenty reads PO915, gear shift position. I just feel more and more that changing the transmission cable may help...guess can't hurt

The range selector switch was suggested here already but can't find any info on that? Any help is appreciated, thanks
