Help! 1990 XJS v12 will not shift out of 1st gear
Car has 23,000 miles, I am new to owning a Jag.. fixed the brake system with help from this forum! Thanks.
Now the car seems to be what some call limp mode??? It won't shift out of I think it is first gear.
This has happened once before but it fixed itself somehow. LOL or so I thought. This time I was pulling the left motor fan out from under dash to check to see if that was my air problem. Upon putting it back together my air worked BUT the car would go with no shifting then it seems as if it throws itself out of gear about 30 rpm till I slow rpms back down. I have tried unplugging the battery cable (found that in many posts), I have taken wiring apart again to check to see if something got pulled when I was cabling it back up around the steering column. ( I seem to have a lot of extra wiring someone installed a phone and cd system and the wiring is all under the steering column). I am having trouble finding the TCM so I can check it... not sure what to do next. No lights,showing.
