Need a bit of support please. My 2003 V12 Vanquish ~15,000 miles, dropped into neutral after the drive on Sunday. Will not shift into gear, reset car, still wont shift into gear 1st or reverse. No fluid leaks. The hydraulic pump was recently replaced and does run to pressure and stop. Who could I reach out to support me in decisions, on a scan tool, clutch replacement parts if needed, and other tips. Let me know what to do or who might help me.

Not sure if clutch is needing replacement or some other issue.

The car is in a local exotics shop, and looking for someone who has been through this and if possible which clutch to use if needed. Of course Aston Martin OEM is a start, however, maybe there is something better and a bit longer lasting that 14k miles.

 

First thing to check would be the brake switch..

 

Has it been updated to the magnetic sensor system? If not, could be bad shift lever position sensors so it doesn't know where it is in the H pattern and therefore inhibits moving out of neutral. If it hasn't been updated, then you would need to get it done at an AM dealer since only they have the equipment to re-calibrate the E-H shift mechanism. At 15K, you'd put a new clutch in at the same time. If it has been updated, then ignore the above, and post in the Vanquish sub forum of AMOC.

 

Check out Bamford Rose YouTube Video - I saw one that addressed the problem in the older Vanqush
