Hi,
I renew an Automatic transmission gearbox on an S Type X 200 year 2007, now the car will not exceed 15 Km/h and will not go above 2500 r.p.m on drive “D” and “R” but on neutral the acceleration is fine. I can feel that the car will change only the first and second gear. If I press the kick-down from start I can feel the power but as soon as it reaches 15Km/h and the rpm touches the 2500 no acceleration can be felt even if you presses the kick-down switch several times. Sometimes when I switch the ignition ON engine not running I can see “Pedal Adjust Inhibited” message appears on the dashboard. I removed the Accelerator pedal position sensor, clean it but the fault appears again. So now I don’t know what to do. Am waiting for your help as your help will be much appreciated
Regards, Jag Technician

 

X200 would be 1999–2002

you say it will not rev above 2500rpm in D and R but in N it accelerates fine, i don't understand, if you mean rev, then in N it should not rev above 3000rpm ish.

Is 15kmh a high enough speed to go through 1st and second gear ?

I'm not trying to pick fault with your post i'm just asking you to clarify a few things so you can get the advice you need.

 

Did you change the whole trans? Or just the oil in it? You need more oil than you may realise - see the How Tos. Do not try to drive if it might be low.

 

taken from his thread on the uk forum

I thought these cars should not rev above 3000rpm in p or n

 

OK, sounds like the story and needed details will gradually emerge. Let's see what and when.

 

well looking through his previous posts here and the uk forum, i wouldn't hold my breath as the was no outcome results on any previous problems, all of which were on different vehicles. but we shall see
