    Now now now - Tombie has made a very valid point which is in line with the prevailing opinion on other forums. I was looking for other ideas that I may have missed so that I can make my mind up - it is a risk assessment process - and as I said my own history with putting in new seals has not been great as something usually starts leaking for various reasons and not always my own fault.

    Tombie reinforced the reasons I had heard elsewhere and there was not something I had missed, so my risk assessment is that I will leave it - if it does leak it is a drip not a gush and so will only loose an hour or so taking the pan off and another putting it all back. I will be doing regular basic fluid changes anyway so I will leave the change of the sleeve to then so no fluid will actually be lost.

    Thanks to everyone for their input - I appreciate the discussion from all involved.

    Hi team,

    MY10 3,0 TD V6 RRS 120xxxkms

    Has anyone experienced a bit of a clunk after take off from standstill just before changing into second gear? It's like the front TC engaging or something like that, it's more noticeable in low range actually now that I think of it.
    I did have fluid changed about 20xxxkms ago at Pringles trans in North Melbourne, and it was a smooth shifter.
    I've since had to change my battery or reset it anyway as the terminals were not tight on the posts.


    Any insight you may have, i appreciate
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    This thread is a long one....
    What’s the latest going $ rate for doing gearbox pan change and new oil(using genuine ZF oil)?
    And any good recommendations in Newcastle area?
    Don’t think mine has had it done and now with 140kms on it.

    Hi all, I was looking at the ZF website and came across a table listing different vehicle brand Part numbers for the lifeguard 6. One was HyunDIE, so I thought I'll look at the cheapest car for a possible cheap alternative.

    I put the number into the search bar and it brought up a Penrite page with the number. Opening that, it looks like Penrite now has a direct replacement for Lifeguard 6 and 8. Don't know if anyone has seen yet, it says it new.

    don't know a price yet, looks like autobahn is one of their stockists. Hope this will turn out to be a money saver.

    That is just Penrite saying it cross references, it is not ZF saying that it is a cross reference to LG6 and it is not Hyundai saying it is a cross reference. Use at your peril.

    Or Lubrizol have reverse engineered LG6 and believe they have it (again) Disco 3/4 Automatic Transmission FAQ - 6 Speed

    Note it says "for out of warranty servicing" ie. not licensed.

    Service Time

    Hi All,

    I'm about to do a full service: New fluid (LG6), new filter, new mechatronic sleeve (mine is leaking) and two tubes of Dr Tranny. Mine has 260K on the clock has had the pan replaced by previous owner and the filler plug looks like it has enough use to suggest more than one change of fluid.

    I'm going to drop the pan replace the filter and sleeve and re-fill. Drive for two weeks and drop and refill. Based on having 20 lts will probably do another drop and fill when I do my next service in Nov.

    It generally drives well (well enough, that on three occasions, I've had tranny guys (Transmissions R Us and Global Transmissions) drive it they say there's nothing wrong with it), gear changes are good and no hesitation to select a gear. However, occasionally it gets a bit of shudder in 3rd when laboring from low speed. Having said that, driving around over the past few days picking up the bit and pieces for the service, my hypochondriasis has kicked in and it's been shuddering and clunking all the time .

    Some parts information for people in Perth:

    Driveline Autos Parts (ZF agents) in Osborne Park:


    1. 20ltrs of LG6 for $467.00 (inc)
    2. 2 x tube of Dr Tranny for $20.00 ea.
    3. Ford sump gasket- an aluminum one with rubber vulcanized to the edge, apparently the best and won't leak.
    4. Grumpy but knowledgeable advice from a Richmond supporter. Can't imagine what he was like before they won the premiership last year.....


    So some questions:


    1. I'm planning to put the Dr Tranny Shudder Fixx in after the second refill. If my box is not too bad, does adding the shudder fixx risk doing any damage? Meaning if it doesn't need it, can it damage it?
    2. Is driving for 2 weeks enough, not long enough or could I do it sooner? (I understand it will depend on how may kms I do but generall everyday driving around town)
    3. The torx bolts at the front and the rear of the pan look terrible to remove and then to torque back up. (I remember reading some posts about them but can't find it) Any advice?
    4. Is it worthwhile getting a sample of the old oil analyzed? Will it tell me the state of the box?
    5. I'm purchasing a IID Tool so I can get the box temp right for fluid level adjustment (also to have for all the other cool stuff like fault codes ETC......all I want for xmas is a remap...you have to sing that last bit). I'm planning to reset transmission adaptations. Is this the right thing to do?


    Feel free to add any other thoughts?

    Thanks in advance:

    David.
