- Temporary fix for Landrover or Jaguar with the rotary style gear selector to get you home.
This will allow you to select gear so the vehicle can be driven again after shift lock solenoid failure.

used this fix today at the side of the road worked great thank you very much
You my friend are a genius. It got me out of a very sticky situation and had it repaired for a small cost
Did you get the solenoid replaced?
If you are in a hurry and dont have time to remove the unit, you can press down foot on the brake, press start and the moment it starts, (its in a neutral mode for a second), press down firmly on the gear selector with two fingers and turn at the same time. You will be able to get in gear and get home. If you want to reverse or put back in park, just press firmly on the selector again and turn at the same time to desired gear.
You have done our community a huge favor… you sir are a king!
Thank you so very much for your help! Mine was stuck in Drive in the middle of the street and I was able to follow your instructions to get it in N and R, and get the vehicle off the street instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a tow truck on a Friday night! Again, many thanks.
Sir Gemini auto works😁 that’s your new title. Car stuck for 3 days and fixed it in ten mins thanks to you.
Thanks man. I just did this this morning in Colorado and it got my wife’s Disco home. Appreciate it.
Thanks to your video I was able to get car back on road. 1 hour at most to temporarily fix. Thanks!!!!!! Definitely subscribing. 2010 Jaguar xf S/C 5.0 slightly different setup but exact same underneath.
Life saver!! My hours at work have been cut and all of my bills are due including yearly property taxes AND It’s Christmas!!! This broke on me the morning I was going Christmas shopping for my 7 year old. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this saved me until I can afford a new piece.
Brill video helped me as stuck for 6 hrs in middle of nowhere and got home on it in my lR4 2014 model 😀 👍
This video was very useful today when my Evoque would not shift out of park. I was able to get it home, where I disassembled the selector. One issue was the plastic piece through which the threaded bar runs to raise and lower the knob was broken into 4 pieces. I 3D printed a new one, but that didn't fix the shift problem. That turned out to be no voltage to the solenoid, caused by one of the pair of 1 ohm senses resistors going bad. They are by the 3 pin connector on the board. I found another one on a scrap PCB, replaced it and now the selector works fine.
Did you do diagnostics? what error code came up? my car Disco Sport L550 SE has gear box fault, parking brake fault, can't get it into gear had to be towed, they think fault wiring harness, but others say possible a transducer or resistorrr.
@@karisstowers3516 this sounds like a parking eBrake harness. I have the same issue with my evoque. I changed the read harness. Problem fixed. I Hope this is helpful.
You Sir, are a genius, thank you for sharing this 👍👍
This dude jammz.. Did mine and is truly working... thank u sir
Legend mate thank you, I’m a roadside mechanic and see this fault all to often. Hopefully going forward I’ll have more people moving.
No problem, I used to be a roadside mechanic (yellow vans) and this is when I figured this temp repair out! Actually was a few years ago now 😂
@@GeminiAutoWorks Hope your enjoying what your doing now in your career. This will definitely help me with temp repair, stc . I’m sure you know the score haha.
@@Patrolman91. I’m back working for myself 😁 if it saves one or two going on a truck it’s a win 👍
@@GeminiAutoWorks definitely haha. Best of luck with your business and your tube venture. 😀👍
Thanks for the video it will help me to fix
I had one the other day different problem. The black prong had snapped on the bottom of the selector making the car immobilized. I got it going temporary. New one is 3k nzd ex UK
Merci ça m'a beaucoup aidé 👍👍👍 de maroc merciiiiiiii
Great video
I can't seem to figure out how to get all the plastic off so I can get to the unit. 2016 Land Rover LR4
Thanks a lot! You're genius!
This saved me a night stranded in the Scottish highlands -14 can’t thanks you enough
How do you remove the unit from a 2015 LR4
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely star! What a video thank you
Hi great temporary fix but not the sort of job you can do at roadside TBF especially on a L405 Range Rover its NOT easy to remove and takes a few hours
15 minutes tops
Replaced mine, cost $1250 aud very easy to replace in a discovery sport.
Saved me. Thanks
Hello, good video. What happens if the lifting of the knob is neutralized, remaining always raised , neutralizing the internal mechanical plastic part that blocks the knob? Thank you.
Good job i like it
Howzit my Evoque was able to move to all of the mode except park what could be the fault now
Did it this on my Jaguar XF and this fix works great ! But the electric Handbrake doesn't work if the Shiftlock is locked !
What year jaguar? And how did you remove it ?
@@JoeDirt00 hi ... the handbrake problem will be fixed after a restart. My XF was 2009. You need to remove a lot. ruclips.net/video/mrKM-xQW2-o/видео.html
Hello sir .if i make it there is problem in the future ?????
can you tell me the 12 pinout of the Gear Selector ??
Before reinstalling, does the selector need to be lowered back down or is it left in the up position?
How do you fix not being able to select gear permanently please
So I took mine out of a Range Rover 5.0 Super-Charged Long Wheel Base, I tested the park solenoid and it works with a 9v battery, I am no sure what the problem is when it is hooked to the car the knob wont turn however after i did this fix in your video the shifter works fine, except it will lock every chance it gets I have to always manually remove it
It’s usually a circuit board failure, rather than the solenoid. They last forever.
Thanks 🇧🇷🔥
I used an elastic band, but yeah 👍
Hi,trying to get my head around this part and its function. I’m assuming that when the rotary dial rises, the shift lock disengages at the same time allowing the dial to move to drive etc so now that the shift lock is held in the unlocked position with the duck-tape, when the car is turned off and the dial lowers, in theory the rotary dial can still be turned because the lock is held open with the tape albeit the dial will be hard to turn because it is flush. So my question is if this is not a part for safety can this work-a-round be permanent ? A new selector is £600 and refurbished selector £300.
I did this when I got stuck before. Once I pressed start I immediately firmly press on the selector down and turn it at the same time to move into gear.
Do a video on how to remove the gear shift module
There is a video... I used it
Do new units needs coding ??
Hello sir, what if we just do that and use like this without ordering new one. This way can cause any problem in future ? Thank you in advance
Not particularly. The vehicle still won’t select gears without you pressing the brake pedal, so it’s a double interlock really.
Thank you.... I have the same problem. My Disco 4 is from 2014. What do you think it is gear selecotor failure or something wrong with the brake impulse coil ??
If it rises but you’re unable to turn the lever it’s most likely the selector unit. If you are able to do a code scan it will probably have a fault for the interlock solenoid.
@@GeminiAutoWorks Yes it rises but Im unable to rotate it. So it mean that it is most likely selector. I have noticed that 1R00 resistor is burn on the board.
Awesome temp fix but you seem to not show the work involved to extract the unit to do the bypass can you show the method of removing it from the car. 😂😂😂
Here you go. ruclips.net/video/_b_qio8CYlk/видео.html
👍👍👌
does this happens to all models of jaguar or newer models dont have that problem? im thinking about getting xf 2016
It just happened to my XF 2016
My 2017 XF S just samething just happens stuck in drive with the rotary in the up position
Great tip, don't replace the unit there's a company that repairs these and upgrades the electronics so it doesn't happen again, costs a lot less than a new one too.
What is the name of the company?
What’s the company
@@mianaseer812ECTTesting or something like that. You send your selector in, you get it back in a couple days, and if the selector wasn’t the problem then you get your money back minus shipping and testing fee
Powertune can fix these for good
dO TELL PLEASE
Do you need to reprogram a used unit?
No it should work but might bring up a warning light. I have fitted brand new ones and they worked without coding but it will have a warning light till it’s coded
@@GeminiAutoWorks hello what tool you suggest to code it or is my only option taking it to a shop? Thanks in advance
@@HoustonisFire Did you have to take yours to the shop to get coded?
@@ariv8585 I haven’t replace it yet. I only did this quick fix. I’m shopping around for the part. I was told by someone else that it doesn’t need to be programmed tho. They said once you replace it, it should work fine
@@HoustonisFire I had the replacement part (eBay $217) on hand when I asked the question. I’m generally impatient so I immediately began working on my car, only took 15 minutes. No fault code, but I did disconnect the battery!!
Rubber bands work better
No one will show how to get the darn thing out 🙄
The trouble is that this style of selector is fitted to numerous different Jaguars and Land-rovers so I’m unable at the moment to do videos on all of then. What is it you’re trying to remove it from?

He lost me after ducktape? Poke holes and how are we positionings the tape to small lever inside!??? Taping in certain position? So cant move? I DNT see what actually doing/taping the lever inside if down, up, left, hold it in place Please HELP!!!!
Excellent video not a load of bullshit like you get from the camera queens. This vid is all meat 100% Helpful
You absolute legend, the 1200€ I would have had to spend was one thing but I’d had had to have waited for 30 days to get the part here! 🙏🫶🏼
