And (flame suit on) would it do any harm to briefly run the motor with this auto pan off to help remove oil in the lines etc?

Cheers, Mick.

Pull the line at the radiator, add a hose into a container..... so much easier.

You can also flush using a similar method to pump new fluid in whilst the old is pumped out.

So the moment you drive off the forecourt you have to consider that the clutch is on the road to failure so best get to changing it straight away

The programming for the 6hp26 in those vehicles uses lots of TC clutch applications, just driving to the cafe for a latte... don't assume it's not worn because of it lowish km and lack of towing duties...

Ahh sarcasm! Lowest form of wit...

It’s called servicing, many owners believe the “sealed for life” mantra until it’s too late.
Regular servicing goes a long way to longevity.

Your sarcasm does have some basis though, the moment you drive off the forecourt your entire vehicle is beginning to wear out... Perhaps buy another straight away as a replacement. [emoji41]

I use this to good effect in my RRS TDV8.

Many owners get fed this mantra from the Dealers. My daughter recently purchased a s/h BMW X3 and I told her to get the car serviced and definitely get the ZF auto oil changed. The local BMW dealer told her it wasn't necessary as it's sealed for life. I think my daughter's husband is of the opinion I'm an idiot who was trying to waste their money........[bighmmm]

At $7k + for a new tranny or $1600 for a full flush that will prolong the life of the ZF box I know what id be doing, regardless of the badge on the front of the car.

The BMW's run the same gearboxes as LR, and most are pushed harder. Ive seen a valve body out of one where only 1 solenoid wasn't fully gunked up.

A full flush should cost a hell of a lot less than $1600.

Typical quotes for a steel sump change and megaflush are around $900 and about $600 for just the flush but may be a lot higher if the mech/tech is paying LR prices for LG6.

We have a '08 TDV6 and have developed the gearbox shudder. It has just started happening, typically at around 90kmh going up hill on the highway. In manual / sport mode it completely disappears.

Question:

1. Should we book booking in for a full flush and oil change.
2. Should we change to metal oil pan
3. Should we combine with any other servicing?
4. Does this need to be undertaken by a "Landrover Specialist" or a Auto Trans Specialist?

Thanks in advance.

Read through the replies so far and wanted to ask does it shudder on light throttle between 1600-2000rpm in 3rd gear or above at any speed? I had a shudder for well over a year before it got bad enough to have the gearbox rebuilt but going up hills was never an issue as revs were above 2000rpm. My easy cure to keep the shudder at bay was to keep the rpms above 2000 by driving in sports mode and manually changed down when the shudder was felt.

Seems odd you are only experiencing it at 90km/h going uphill.
