Correct, I was surprised that ford didnt keep the zf since it was already mated to the tdv6

It uses MERCON LV auto fluid - how that compares with ZF Lifeguard 6 I do not know.

But we are talking diesels [thumbsupbig]

REPCO are giving 30% off for oils for NRMA members this weekend - so you can get LG6 for a little under $30 a litre.

I assume a similar promotion is also in the other states for auto club members.

No. We’re talking Transmissions...

The Petrol Fords use LG6 in their ZFs...

Three weeks ago i had a transmission flush due to shudders which didnt fix the problem, auto specialist told me it was the torque converter needed repair and it was good for t wo weeks. Now i find i can only get forward gears if i press firmly on the gearstick. Could this be a selector problem or something a bit more serious.

Sorry I failed to mention I have a 2010 Discovery 4
