I'm at 97,000 miles but it's been misbehaving for ages.
That said, I do happen to know that a previous long-term owner did a lot of short journeys.

Knowing little or nothing about how these gearboxes work and are controlled I'm nonetheless a bit surprised by that.
I had assumed it was taking physical information about the state of the gearbox and relaying that electrically to the TCU. If it's just the physical position of the gear selector lever, why not detect that in the cabin? Or is it to eliminate the possibility of a loose/worn mechanical link (cable?) and get the information "from the horses mouth" so to speak, i.e. as close to the gearbox as possible. Or is there a belt and braces approach, with sensors on the lever as well? There obviously are for the tiptronic elements.

The F125 tells the TCU which gear is selected, and the shift lever also has mechanical functions inside such as engaging the parking lock and interacting with the valve block. The cause of PRNDS in this case is the TCU not getting sensible signals from the F125, rather than any feedback from gubbins inside the gearbox (like the speed sensors etc). |

Mine was done at about 42k and 9 years old!
I didn't leave mine faulty for long and just replaced it rather than attempting to fix it

How did you fix it back together, riveted again or small bolts/nuts?

my current theory is that there is a combination of problems that causes the clean up to fix the problem ie a poor contact on the connector reduces the signal strength to the internal contacts which , being worn , need the stronger signal had already planned the bolt + nylock reseal as per MJ if it comes to it later no lift available but still have my motorhome ramps so will try running the front up on that then blocking the side Last edited by oldnick; 22nd November 2016 at 02:32 PM. |

I hope that the ramp option gives you enough room. If there is any degree of extra force needed for stuck bolts/exhaust movement then you may need a lift. MJ is just across the channel and has a queue of '8s waiting!
