Thread: auto box heating up fast on disco II

Yeah, its really not easy to get to. I tend to think that the only way to do it properly is to remove the intercooler and radiator, which you detatch the ATF cooler from and do it that way. I'd be inclined not to remove the ATF cooler unless you want to refill that also. RAVE is most definately your friend and leave a full day for it and find somebody with tiny hands to help.

Thank mate for the help! Weekend job on the way...

and a final work of advise dont go and play in it until you have worked out what it is. autos are not the cheapest things to have to replace unfortunately.

I'm stating the obvious so if you are going "well derr" then I apologise before you say so

... Didn't seem that messy, bit of mud came out though. Dealer told me it heated up "correctly".Whatever that means... They kept it overnight to cool and ran it up in the morning.
I notice in the morn when I put it into reverse it "slips" a bit, only for like "the first deppression of the accelerator", but is this just the torque converter filling up? Doesn't appear to do it on the road, or under load. Don't no much about auto boxes.
