seem to have a major problem with gearbox on 2010 l320 3.0L cant get the gearshift to come out of park to start engine car started normal put into drive wouldnt move engine revs going up put car into neutral to try again and camera came on and car in reverse put lever into reverse and car still in reverse put car into park and tried to pull back through selection and locked in place car is now in reverse although gear selector in P any one got any ideas as I cant get it to a garage or towed because it wont move while in Park.

Regards Mark.

There is a emergency park release lever which you could pull which should allow you to at least move the vehicle. This maybe for a L/H/D, access to the lever maybe different on a R/H/D and under the cover by the epb switch not sure, but the lever should be there somewhere.

That’s for the 8HP70 transmissions with the rotary knob. This is a 2010 with a 6HP28 that uses a manual gear lever.

Need to get under the car to see if the cable has slipped. Have to remove the rearward plastic underbody cover for access. On the right side of the transmission is a short lever with a steel rod/cable attached. It has a 13mm nut and a 21mm bushing. Hold the bushing with a wrench while loosening the nut, push the lever forwards towards the front of the car and put the gear shift in Park, then tighten the nut back up on the lever. See if this fixes it. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Stand corrected, could explain why I've never noticed it on my s/c Isn't there something about that lever /bush siezing up as well.

This one Col?

That being said, I just gave mine a good dose of cleaning up then lubricating, still good after several years.

The 5.0SC’s for 2010-2013 all had beefed up 6HP28’s same as the 2010/2011 3.0 TDV6’s. Only the 2012/2013 3.0 SDV6’s had the 8HP70.

Yes, those bushing have a tendency to seize up, had to replace a couple due to this. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Yeah, was told that years ago when I bought mine, apparently the original 8 speed was not strong enough to cope with the output from the 5.0L S/C, personally much prefer the stick shift though as gives me a hand rest odd thing is the they never put the beefed up version of the six speed in the 5.0L N/A for some reason, I guess it might of been because the were dropping that engine,

I’m with you on the manual shifter, makes a very nice hand rest and in my opinion adds to the “Sport” feel. I wish I could get the fuel efficiency of the 8 speed with the shifter of the 6 speed.

The 5.0NA (510 nm) didn’t make the torque numbers the 3.0 TDV6 (600 nm) and 5.0SC (625 nm) make. So they didn’t feel a need to beef it up for the torque. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

If anyones running a 5.0L S/C L320 aerodynamic house brick I don't think fuel efficency is top of the priority list no matter which box it had in it.

thank you noexpert spot on with your diagnosis garage had service the Rangie and discovered that the gear shift was stiff so adjusted the bit underneath rang them monday and the garage sent the machanic out to sort it sorted it in about 10 mins so thanks again no expert.
