[2008 RR - Transmission failure - limited gears available]

Hi

Thanks for quick responses.

Drives ok most of time. Message has appeared three times, all when driving up an incline. On each occasion I've pulled over, switched everything off and back on, it comes back with all gears available again.

Each time it's happened it feels like it's slipped out of gear so vehicle lurches and revs high

Cheers

Mark

[2008 RR - Transmission failure - limited gears available]

HI

I have a 2008 RR 3.6 TDV8 vogue se with 100k on clock and full main dealer service history.

Just before Christmas a series of warning lights were displayed, brake, air suspension, special programs off and finally "transmission failure - limited gears available". The vehicle then lost all electrics and wouldn't restart.

I had it recovered to main dealer, diagnosed as starter switch, replaced and all ok.

One week later, transmission failure message reappeared when accelerating up incline.

Back to dealer, diagnosed as "Incorrect gear alignment between 3rd & 4th"

Dealer offered to replace gearbox at £6k.

I'd like to get it done at a more reasonable cost, been quoted £1500 by birch motors in Liverpool but dont know anything about them.

I'm based in Bolton lancashire, can anyone recommend a gearbox specialist in the Lancashire / Manchester area.

Thanks

Mark
