I can't say that about either of my Range Rovers.



Not that I'm complaining about that fact though :D.

Mind you, the tilt tray that they're riding on doesn't get it so good.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me.

or ron will pick apart the spelling and grammar.

From what I've read so far on the ZF 4HP22/24 gearbox's, they have a problem with bleeding oil pressure. They say you should never rev your car in neutral or park after you have engaged a gear. This will kill your box. I'm guessing that this is mainly if you're actually on the throttle (emissions testing @ 2000rpm) and not idling, which you wouldn't be in this case, but either way I wouldn't want to risk it. Having just had to order a replacement box from the UK, it's not something I would want anyone else to go through.

Oh, and it's bloody dangerous.

AFAIK they fixed that in about 1988 or so, as soon as the US emissions testers had blown up a few BMWs .
They drilled relief holes in the first clutch set or whatever.
I guess if you had an earlier one still untouched then it could be a problem.
