Hi guys,

I can honestly say that I HAVE SOLVED my Trans Fail Safe Mode problem. It turned out to be the 'Torque Convertor'. Torque convertor fins broke up as a result the debris were flowing into the valve body causing intermittent. Because the valve solenoid kept jamming. The problem I had was after driving the X for 1 hour to 1 hour and a half, the car would go into Limp Mode i.e. the rev would go up and only drives 1st and 2nd gear @ 4000 rpm or more.

I went to different garages including the Stealer Dealer, but they couldn't find any fault at all on their machine. Some says it's the Throttle Housing (EDK), some says its electronic issue which I initially thought as well, some says faulty gearbox switch, some says its the valve body. Finally I ruled out the above suggestions and went straight for the transmission. So I went to a GearBox Specialist, they diagnosed the problem but nothing came up on the machine. But the guy there assured me that it's mechanical issue inside the gearbox. So they took the gearbox down and took the components out for close inspection and found out that the "Torque Convertor" was shot and some other parts were worn. So they advised me to go for a re-conditioned box which works out as same as overhauling the existing gearbox. If I wanted my gearbox re-conditioned instead of an exchange, it would have taken longer time b'coz they have to order the parts in.

So luckily I got my X back within 3 days and finally in a very long time, I can rest my mind, and my back, and my head and get to enjoy the X, until it happens again... hahaha... (knock on woods).

Well that's it, guys... hope this help. Honestly, I really didn't think it was the gearbox since it was running fine when it was cold. But now I'm glad I took it those people. Anyone looking for a good Gearbox Specialist, try these guy at Hartfield Road in Croydon, London. I got it done for £2,500 plus 1 year warranty or 12,000 miles which ever comes first. And after 500 miles, they're going to change the fluid for FREE. Good Luck PhazeX5 and hope you'll resolve the issue soon.
