Other XC90 Problem: Geartronic Stuck In Drive And Netural

[JHMXC90]

Fearing that this problem was worse than it was, perhaps even electrical, I messaged my mechanic who guided me to insert my finger under the plastic lever and to press a tiny lever that can be felt with the index finger, and to move the gearshifter forward while doing so. It worked! So now, I probably will have to replace the entire gear shifting unit. Has anyone done this?

I am starting to have problems with the gear selector knob on my 2007 3.2 and need to replace it.

Has anyone fitted one of the replacement buttons (rather than replacing the whole knob) and if so how is it done? Looking at my existing button, I just cant see how the button can be removed from the knob and the new one refitted.

I have looked on You Tube etc but cant find anything.

Many thanks

Check the cable release under the steering wheel, there's a red/orange clip in there that pops out if it's not fully home it won't release the key &/ gear shift had the issue a while ago and managed to sort it.

See photos below. you'll need to remove the casing around the steering column. Photo three shows the cable clip inserted fully the tang clips into the sq hole. squeeze the lever of the orange clip and insert it fully

PS the position can be adjusted by adjusting the threaded end at the gear shifter, if it's slack in any way.

Hope this helps.
