Hi guys,

My 2.8 this morning decided it wasn't going to reverse any more. I only had a short journey this morning and went 1-5 nicely. When I start her up she shows she's in P. Then when I select R it goes straight to N but beeps to tell me I'm in reverse. Go to drive its fine. Go to 4 fine 3 and 2 go back up to drive. Go back to park and it shows neutral but can remove the key. Can even select 1-5 through tiptronic and it all changes ok. Plugged her in and I have no fault codes for the. A/T

I am assuming the worse. But thought id check with you guys. Before I decide what to do with it. As it was going in tomorrow to get the work done for the dreaded MOT.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a bad F125 switch or stretched shifter cable

Thank for the reply, the gearbox is in safety mode now and will go into reverse with a nice clonk. I think I'm going to give up on it now. Spent so much in ownership of this car to keep it well! I can't keep throwing money at it So if anyone in the South of the UK wants a cheap '8 with a gearbox issue. But the engine was rebuilt only 7000 miles a go give us a shout!

It really doesnt sound like an internal issue. Sounds more like a cable issue, adjustment left loose, broken, or the actual range sensor switch on the side of it. I wouldnt give up the car over something that could be fixed for a few hundred dollars at a repair shop.
