Hi, My friends L322 TD6 3.0 2003 has got a transmission problem. It has had a slight rattle from the gearbox area when on tickover.
Yesterday it went into limp mode and the display showed "Transfer Box Failsafe". He then lost all drive in both Drive and Reverse. It came back after a while and he managed to limp it home in LOW ratio. We put it on an i920 diagnostic tool and it shows a Bosch GS8.60.1 Auto Transmission and showed faults P0894 "Transmission Slipping" and P0735 "Fault currently present Gear 5 Incorrect Ratio".
I cancelled the faults and tried the car again. We then found that we had no drive in either Drive or Reverse.
We suspected the torque convertor so I started to research torque convertor faults on the internet. We also put it back on the diagnostics and it showed no faults. The internet said to test the torque convertor by trying a stall test by putting the transmission in Drive with your foot hard on the brake and revving the engine to 2,000rpm. We tried that and he said he felt a jolt and the car went into gear. He now can get Drive and Reverse and the car seems fine.
However, he is now reluctant to drive it anywhere in case it happens again.
Any ideas?
