Q: How to solve JF506E No Reverse after Rebuild or Fluid Change?
A: We suggest you follow these steps to troubleshoot:
Common symptoms:
Volkswagen, Jaguar, and Freelander vehicles equipped with the JF506E may
exhibit a no reverse condition and barely moves forward, after a rebuild, or after a fluid
change.
Common Cause:
The cause may be, the reduction band anchor bolt was accidently mistaken for a fluid fill
plug. When the plug was removed to fill the unit with fluid, the band dropped out of position.
Correction:
Some technicians have said they were able to lift the band back into position through the
servo bore. If this cannot be achieved, the transaxle must be removed and disassembled to
gain access to the band to place it back into proper position.
When filling the unit, remove the fluid check plug from the bottom of the case, and fill the unit through the fill pipe located on top of the side of the pan.
