XK8 Gearbox Fault

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello,
My 2002 XKR is experiencing the common "Gear Box Fault / High Tempurature" issue, but only under specific circumstances. If the gear selector is left in the "D" position there are no issues whatsoever. However, if gears are manually selected (2,3,4, etc) then the fault mentioned above quickly appears and the car goes into "Limp" mode.
If I clear the fault with a scanner, disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes before reconnecting, I am able to restore the car to full capability. Then, provided that I only use, D, R, P or N, the car operates perfectly. The moment 2,3 4, etc is selected, the fault returns. The valve body has already been replaced and no MIL codes persist. I'm convinced that it's an a electrical/elecronic problem but don't know where else to look.
Anyone able to shed any light on this?
