before yu touch the gearbox check the FAQ in the, erm, FAQ section. or yu might just regret it .
Int the dextron ii stuff the black stuff they used in the FL1 v6 jatco for merkins? Was said to be the cause of early FL1 auto failure and put merkins oft buying them. There was a lot about this some years ago but the websites seem to have gone. There was a good strip down on you tube but can't find it now. Merkins didn't like one of the many chemicals in LRN402 which is why they used different stuff as merkins banned that chemical being imported. Suppliers will confirm they have a replacement oil by email, but never add it to the list of cars supported on their website, when asking them to. Puzzles me this.
MHM's comment about being careful with the oil change comes from many years of us seeing peeps (mainly garages) feking up the auto's after an oil change. It may be simple to do, but costly if done wrong. Mine leaked and low oil feked the torque convertor. Didn't know it was leaking until garage said. Stooopid sump guard hides it. Refilling incorrectly (fek it it's feked anyway) feked more seals and they blow'd ****ing oil out of the 3 main seals. I still remember the large jolt after driving out of bnq when it shunted into the next gear...
surprisingly a weak clutch basket seemed most likely failure in ones ive seen rather than oil level which isnt mm critical
im off the opinion after speaking to other rebuilders that there was a physical poor splitting piston that does burn clutches and dirty oil does effect solenoid and valve operation apart from that a good box
is that the carlube atf-u that u used in your td4 mate ? ive been looking at this stuff on ebay but no mention of it being n402On the auto side of the box lowering the box access is possible withit still in the car FMHE , the outer "basket" can then be removed and a helpful autoshop will rebuiold that with new parts , using their special tool , but if you have to go further in then you need to make a small press special tool to enable the retainer circlip to be refitted , as the jatco one is used from the diff side of the box . HTSH
nice one mate am just not convinced that a autobox thats nearly 20 years old need this landrover stuff at nearly £15 a liter theres far better oils out there these daysThe spec on the bottle says its ok and I contacted Carlube and they confirmed it , and I am happy enough with it ,in use HTSH
yip am sold by it for any one intersted in the info about this go toYeah , the carlube is a full synthetic
i know what your saying hippo theres lots of autos out there that apparently can only be use on dealer approved atf that only they sell which imo is to get sales and scare the crap out of us not to use anything elseCarlube (or tetrosyl on their emails) confirmed to me their product is suitable for our Jatco by email. However, when asked to add the Freelander Jatco to their web site listing, they don't. Why not? Surely it would increase sales. There's a number of cars missing. Paragraph 1 in the disclaimer of their datasheet posted above is quite good I think. I think they should come out and admit they likes Freelanders (if they really does).
it can ive done a fewIt appears that most damage can be sorted without removing the trany which is good!!
