Gerabox overheating

[Busaking]

Hi all, new here. Just got a 96 RR Hse Auto 4 Ltr. Lovely hum from it but my issue is a Gearbox Overheating message on fault display panel, drop below 35mph. I was told this can be a result of the outer fuse box area getting damp and causing a short circuit? Gearbox seems fine and all fluids at correct levels.Can anyone shed any light on my dilema as that damn warning buzzer is doing my head in.Thanks all

This could also be due to a blockage in either the radiator or the lines going to the radiator... I would have it checked.

Hi Joey, Thanks for that info.Do you mean the cooler lines from the box to the header cooling tanks in the rad?and check the main rad itself?

I would check both.

I will get both looked at thanks. I am learning fast about the RR nest of gremlins, it got stuck in a false neutral between high and low and had no interest in moving, fortunately the last chap had two wires installed up by the battery to arc off of both poles and it makes a motor retract gear in transfer box?????/ Enlighten me a bit more. I have a friend who is a guru on these machines so he is getting it. God forbid its going to empty my walletSwapped it for a perfect toyota Supra

It may get stuck between high and low if you are not moving when you make the change... it likes to be rolling about 1 - 2 mph to switch better.
