Thread: How do you tell if it is still your gearbox

The bell housing and body are clean its just the extension to the transfer case that has had paint over the dirt. The transfer case is as dirty as it was before. I will have to have a good look under it tonight. This morning it was holding first till about 3200rpm which is a bit annoying when you are around the suburbs. I will have to check the RAV to see whats normal. The shop was neat and tidy. I believe they rebuild in house and send the torque convertors away to be split and rebuilt.

Thanks Rob

it may well be your box, but they probably only fixed the box, so it would not be unusual for them to not clean the transfer case as you are getting charged for that, and the last thing they want is for you to complain about the cost and not pay.
as for holding gears, if it's in a v8 disco, it should hang on in 2nd or third to about 7000 rpm with your foot firmly pushed thru the floor, i have no idea about kero engines though.

7 grand, your tacho's out

I thought LR microcat listed the other build numbers once you entered the VIN, but I can't seem to find the CD here, lot's of stuff in boxes.

If I took my V8 to 7G it would fix the hail dents....

Don't worry, my foots plenty heavy

AFAIR 1-2 change on a ZF 4HP22in a V8 3.9 is 4800 RPM, and 2-3 is 5400RPM with kickdown engaged ie WOT.
All V8s are limited to below approx 6000RPM deliberately by Land rover by the use of lifters that pump up at about 5800-6000RPM.

But mines a TDI
Had enough of V8's after 15 years. Somehow I still manage to have one at the side of the house though

I didn't get time to check the RAV CD last night I think the TDI shift points would be much lower than the V8. the Tdi only revs to about 4000rpm
