Damzel in distress!!!

Hannahmae · Feb 19, 2019

Can some one please help me! I took my automatic landrover discovery 1 off roading today (stupidly!) after getting stuck and being pulled out I have no drive, only reverse!
1st question what could it be?
2nd could someone please tell me where to find the gearbox oil filler bung? If possible picture and discription
Thanks

Have you tied to pull away in D1? and if you have does it ?

Hannahmae · Feb 19, 2019

I have done and it will pull away very slowly but when I accelerate it goes no where, just seems to make it worse

Have you checked the linkage on the gearbox in case you have bent it?

Google ZF HP22 gearbox and look at the black cable that comes out of the box on the left hand side, Iirc and its been a while since I last had one the cable runs up to the bottom of the transmission tunnel.

Gearbox level dipstick is under the bonnet again cant remember (towards the rear rings a bell?) which side of the engine, check it with the engine running,

Could be bad news according to Ashcroft Transmission’s site.

Your A clutch (forward drive) has failed and you will require a replacment autobox”

To help u I’d the auto fluid dip-stick it has a yellow top to it. Check the fluid level when cold with the engine idling with moving the selector from D to 3 and back stopped at each position for a couple of seconds.
