    in gear no move!!

    Transmission issue, car was do 60mph then transmission failure came up and had to pull off to the side of the road.
    Switched off, restarted and put into gear, engine revs and no error, just sits in gear either forward or reverse and no movement at all

    ran up some diags and no reported error codes, non what so ever!!

    can starts and runs, engage drive and nothing just revs nothing more

    any ideas?

    No oil leaks anywhere round gearbox, completely dry

    Check for transmission faults and pressure readings of clutches

    Could be a pressure solenoid failed. Do you feel the car physically engage drive or just see what it says on the dash.

    nothing is reported in the error codes and nothing now comes up on the dash!!
    there is nothing felt when I put it in reverse or forward, engine tone changes a little and thats about it

    Pressure readings?

    where is this solenoid located? how to check ?

    thanks
