Landrover and Jaguar gear selector temporary fix

[@casandrazamarripa]

Life saver!! My hours at work have been cut and all of my bills are due including yearly property taxes AND It’s Christmas!!! This broke on me the morning I was going Christmas shopping for my 7 year old. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this saved me until I can afford a new piece.

You have done our community a huge favor… you sir are a king!

[@darrenroberts7156]

You my friend are a genius. It got me out of a very sticky situation and had it repaired for a small cost

[@reed-broughkids]

Did you get the solenoid replaced?

[@JennerationX100]

If you are in a hurry and dont have time to remove the unit, you can press down foot on the brake, press start and the moment it starts, (its in a neutral mode for a second), press down firmly on the gear selector with two fingers and turn at the same time. You will be able to get in gear and get home. If you want to reverse or put back in park, just press firmly on the selector again and turn at the same time to desired gear.

[@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018]

Mine is stuck in D and won't start at all.

[@Sunshine_Puma]

@@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018 My discovery is in the same position, gear stuck in D and car won’t start. Were you able to find a fix?

[@landroverclassics5484]

Thank you so very much for your help! Mine was stuck in Drive in the middle of the street and I was able to follow your instructions to get it in N and R, and get the vehicle off the street instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a tow truck on a Friday night! Again, many thanks.

[@r7boatguy]

This video was very useful today when my Evoque would not shift out of park. I was able to get it home, where I disassembled the selector. One issue was the plastic piece through which the threaded bar runs to raise and lower the knob was broken into 4 pieces. I 3D printed a new one, but that didn't fix the shift problem. That turned out to be no voltage to the solenoid, caused by one of the pair of 1 ohm senses resistors going bad. They are by the 3 pin connector on the board. I found another one on a scrap PCB, replaced it and now the selector works fine.

[@karisstowers3516]

Did you do diagnostics? what error code came up? my car Disco Sport L550 SE has gear box fault, parking brake fault, can't get it into gear had to be towed, they think fault wiring harness, but others say possible a transducer or resistorrr.

[@mamouroukeita4534]

⁠@@karisstowers3516 this sounds like a parking eBrake harness. I have the same issue with my evoque. I changed the read harness. Problem fixed. I Hope this is helpful.

I just wanted to tell you thank you, I did exactly what you taught, and now my car is back on the road. Thank you so much. ❤❤

Greetings. Can you tell me what the problem was and how it was solved? I'm currently having the same problem stuck in D mode luckily it's home

Thanks man. I just did this this morning in Colorado and it got my wife’s Disco home. Appreciate it.

[@enyasskincare4349]

Hi great temporary fix but not the sort of job you can do at roadside TBF especially on a L405 Range Rover its NOT easy to remove and takes a few hours

[@josesifuentes2592]

15 minutes tops

[@devill0rd]

Really big thanks mate 👍

[@marraksh1]

Hello, good video. What happens if the lifting of the knob is neutralized, remaining always raised , neutralizing the internal mechanical plastic part that blocks the knob? Thank you.

[@nizarkailani6463]

So I took mine out of a Range Rover 5.0 Super-Charged Long Wheel Base, I tested the park solenoid and it works with a 9v battery, I am no sure what the problem is when it is hooked to the car the knob wont turn however after i did this fix in your video the shifter works fine, except it will lock every chance it gets I have to always manually remove it

[@TheRussBroom]

It’s usually a circuit board failure, rather than the solenoid. They last forever.

[@alexandarnacic5841]

Hello, I have a 2016 Evoque, the transmission is stuck in D mode, I plan to do what you did, but I'm wondering if this trick only temporarily starts the car or if it can stay that way, I'm not really sure?

[@ruslancoltuc3522]

Hello sir, what if we just do that and use like this without ordering new one. This way can cause any problem in future ? Thank you in advance

[@TheRussBroom]

Not particularly. The vehicle still won’t select gears without you pressing the brake pedal, so it’s a double interlock really.

[@grungysquash1]

Replaced mine, cost $1250 aud very easy to replace in a discovery sport.

[@tsidisobojabotseha1315]

Howzit my Evoque was able to move to all of the mode except park what could be the fault now

[@vainohautajarvi1414]

Before reinstalling, does the selector need to be lowered back down or is it left in the up position?

[@alexandarnacic5841]

I'm also interested in that, what you did?

[@stevehayes6661]

Awesome temp fix but you seem to not show the work involved to extract the unit to do the bypass can you show the method of removing it from the car. 😂😂😂

Great tip, don't replace the unit there's a company that repairs these and upgrades the electronics so it doesn't happen again, costs a lot less than a new one too.

[@mianaseer812]

What is the name of the company?

[@valentino3129]

What’s the company

@@mianaseer812ECTTesting or something like that. You send your selector in, you get it back in a couple days, and if the selector wasn’t the problem then you get your money back minus shipping and testing fee

Hello sir .if i make it there is problem in the future ?????

[@lifecisco9471]

Thank you.... I have the same problem. My Disco 4 is from 2014. What do you think it is gear selecotor failure or something wrong with the brake impulse coil ??

[@GeminiAutoWorks]

If it rises but you’re unable to turn the lever it’s most likely the selector unit. If you are able to do a code scan it will probably have a fault for the interlock solenoid.

[@lifecisco9471]

@@GeminiAutoWorks Yes it rises but Im unable to rotate it. So it mean that it is most likely selector. I have noticed that 1R00 resistor is burn on the board.
