Gearbox Fault?!

Gearbox Fault?!
On my way home yesterday, in a heavy rain, my 2002 X-Type 3.0L shifted funny then the gearbox fault message came on and the car went to what I've been told is "Limp Mode". I shut the car off and waited then started it back up and It drove home fine. I go out today and the message is still there, I haven't drove it yet today but, from what I've read it looks like maybe water or moisture getting in to the TCM or ECM? But I don't know, this is my 1st Jag and everything is still new to me.

Hi Fancy,
There can be a mixed signal after heavy rain and you may indeed have a faulty gearbox but a wipedown, a dab of wd40 cleaner will do you good and have you looked for any faults with an OBDII scanner, it will definately help.
I would also check the battery and even try a hard reset of the electrics after you have replaced the TCM and give her a good test drive?

You hopefully will get by after replacing the TCm and if it does go away, you can relax as these cars are prone (like most) to moisture/rain and weather in general?
Good Luck, Stu
