Is there anything Xtype community can do to bench mark/establish the base line for to figure if infact tranmission fluid FULL? I used a 14" tie wrap to push it in all the way (fill tube below and left of battery) to the bottom (I think but don't have diagram to verify).... I measured the fluid deposited and get about 6.2" (Trans still little warm). I will try to measure it when cold later and report back...... Can some of you do this quick method and compare some data especially those just had their Jag trans service/replace?

Got the codes read today, Input speed sensor issue. They replaced it but code reappeared in 200 meters. They suspect the usual wear to case and loss of hydraulic pressure etc . Sump comes off tomorrow. Last person stripped plug and fluid dipper tube... Fortunately the box is a Ford Ranger, Mazda bravo so I will most likely get the recon done and drive off faultlessly... unless it is one of those other problems like ECM moisture or timing belt tension. One day the car will be like new again....Paul

Hi Grandhaze, what code # did you get for input sensor? Just check my trans fluid as mention in my post #61 while the car is cold and still got about 6" (is not scientific method). Anyway, test drove the car still very hard shift in 2nd and 3rd gear and now got codes P01000 (OBD not complete since last memory clear), P0740 (comprehensive component monitor trans drive cycle), P1796 (CAN network malfuncion)..... Anyone? Thanks,

Got my s type back today with recon gearbox, cost a bit 4k but it is so good. The guys said they wear out and dont hold pressure which is used to trigger changes. Throws a variety of codes on the way out. Mine is still giving out codes but that will pass in 200 k when the system has used and checked all the functions.
This is my first auto in 5 cars after the infamous audi CVT, even they now acknowledge as so bad. Found a manual s type in v6. Did they make a manual in V8? gearbox is so good now if it last another 10 years great. Paul

Congrat grandhaze, I decided to tow the car to the local tranny shop and replace this POS tranny with another used one since AAMCO (national chain tranny specialist) quoted $2400 - $3000 for rebuilt. I am just hope the used one will last my daughter for another 5 yrs (she truly loved it). The whole thing they quoted me for $1200 - $1400. Thought, the car is in top shape with only ~60k - if it wasn't for that I probably get rid of this POS already. Hopefully, I don't jink myself......the S500 Benz zero issue for 6 yrs so far, the 740il bimmer the same with exception of valve cover and intake gasket. The 330CiC so far so good except for this POS my first major repair cost. Anyway, I will let everyone know the outcome next week.

Hope the exchange works, Does it have some warranty? When they recon the box the new solenoid block didn't work within a hundred metres so they changed that again and now good. POS ? I agree they are disappointing after other cars but still mine looks new. My last auto was a torque flight Valiant still going strong after 25 years...

The only time I have had this problem other that today is when I go into the car wash however, My car threw the code today. It's not raining and I haven't washed it.
Yesterday I put in regular unleaded. Usually I use Premium. For some reason I decided I didn't need it anymore. I sure do hope that's the problem because It has been sitting all morning and I went out to check it at lunch and it was still doing it.

Water leak issue
Quoting ResqDiver, I also have the same water problem in my 2004 X type (Gearbox Fault). The water builds up under the ECM and TCM connections under the hood (SEE PICTURES). This area becomes a FLOODED RIVER when its raining, so sealing it up would be a good idea. Im still waiting on the 5 point security bit to remove the ECM connector, but I used a can of GASKET SEAL to seal up the areas towards the bottom of the windsheild, and the upper corners of the front fenders. I will post pictures after it dries.
If you want to check and see where the water is coming from, and if it goes near the ECM connector, just dunk some water on your windshield and see where is goes.

Gearbox failure
Hello, I recently got my 2002 Jaguar X-type in September of last year. I had no problems until January. It was pretty cold in the morning when I went to start the car. It went into reverse but hesitated when I put it into drive. My check engine light came on and we took the car to get it checked out. Autozone hooked the computer up and the only code it got was P0300 which I am told is random cylinders misfire. The car gave us no trouble until around March when it completely stopped working. We realized that the dealer had put in a battery for a Kia and that it wasn't giving out enough charge to keep the car running. In order to start the car we were having to jump start it. We looked up the proper battery and replaced it and had no further problems. Then a few weeks ago after an oil change and car wash the "Gearbox fault/Cruise control not available" message popped up. We had the transmission fluid checked and were told that it was fine. Again the only code the mechanic found was the P0300 which he cleared for us. We got in the car today and the same Gearbox fault/no cruise control available message again came up. It was raining outside so we decided to take the car home. Any suggestions what it could be? I really hope it isn't the transmission because if it is we are probably going to get rid of it seeing how it would cost more to fix than we bought her for.
And i also had the GEARBOX FAILURE..
And all i did was install a new cd player and thats how my gearbox code came up ..so i took it to the mechanic and he said he rest something...i wasn't sure what it was
But it came up again and and i called he told me that he was busy and he really didn't do anything to it last time but mess with the wiring harness
..so all i did was unhook the wires from the stereo system and put them back couple of times and there is no GEARBOX FAILURE..hope you have the same situation and hope this helps you too...

Gearbox fault
In both occurrences, there was water involved; the car wash and the rain event. I will bet money that water intruded into the transmission control unit (TCU) located under the dash on the passenger side Firewall. The wiring harness has a pass-through connector with a foam gasket. This was a jag X type design defect that channels water from outside through a gutter below the cowling grill in front of the windshield and drips directly onto the wiring harness plug in the engine compartment on the passenger side firewall. As that foam gasket ages and shrinks, the water infiltrates into the plug, passes through the firewall and into the TCU. Take the unit out, put it on the bench and open it up. There is likely to be mineral deposits on the inside of the case. Also the electrical current in combination of the water Will erode the pins inside the plug. I also had a similar issue on the driver side engine control unit where water had followed the wiring harness down to the plug and corroded out several connector pins, causing a short to ground and destroying the ECU.

Had 2002 in for this and they replaced one coil (over $700) There are others they say need to be replaced. But the fault came up on first very cold morning and no cruise control ... got up to 25 and car shakes. Did have windshield replaced because technician cracked the glass (REPLACING A WINDSHIELD WIPER of all things!)
Could that have caused the TCM? to get wet. Before that the coolant tank had to be replaced and several hoses?

Gearbox Fault
Hello My jaguar was running smoothly, this morning I drove maybe 100 Feet when I noticed in the dashboard it said gearbox fault and then system engine fault. I was told it is a transmission issue. Im not mechanicaly inclined. I would like some insite on this issue/ if anyone has had this issue, and what they did to resolve it. Please and thank you.

This will be my final post ... traded over the weekend after shelling out too much on repairs ... but trying is the key. There are numerous problems posted on this on JUST ANSWER. You might even see the one I did when 2002 X-Type shut down. Richard is very good at diagnostics. Sometimes you can get a feel on what someone else has asked and had answered without paying (which is an amount you decide you can pay - I did that two or three times over the past few years and I don't think I totalled $50 altogether. It seems there's a reset lever (button?) on the passenger floor ... but it will shut down in a heartbeat when it throws the fault. Best wishes for your success!

Hope this helps someone looking for help with this topic
I had the same issue. The car sat for four months because nobody could figure out the problem and I did not want to take it to the Jag dealer and get killed. Looking back, I should have done just that because I ended up spending $1000 when it was all said it done anyway. Half of that was spent going to different garages and hearing the same "it won't start so we can't help you." In fairness to them, even the Jag dealer didn't know what was up after running their $400 diagnostics. Anyway, by the grace of God and just when I was about to say the hell with it just junk it, the repair department manager suggested checking the battery cables (why this wasn't checked while they were running their diagnostic tests is beyond me) and sure it enough that was the problem. The negative cable was either fried or just bad. This explain why after I bought a brand new battery and threw in a new starter, the car still wouldn't start. Anyway, the cable was just $150. The Jag dealer gave me a break and took off $50 off the bill and charged me $500 altogether.
Anyway, I was getting about 11 engine codes - everything from solenoids to TCM and tranny fluid needing to be changed. None of that turned out to be the problem so be aware that the actual problem may not always show on your code reader.
Hope this helps!!
