Hi All,
I just thought I'd pop back into here after buying a Disco 3 and starting the usual fixes and maintenance stuff. (Ducks to avoid the rotten tomatoes and eggs).
When I was towing my large caravan I started to notice a 'shudder' from the transmission when pulling away, almost as though there weren't enough revs being applied. There is an easy fix for this which I've applied and have no more issues.
I then remembered having a similar issue with my Freelander TD4 Auto when cruising along at 30 or 50 and ascending a hill, the transmission would sometimes shudder in the same way. I wonder if the same fix I applied to the Disco would apply to the Freelander.
There is a brilliant product called 'Dr Trannys Shudder Fix' (I kid you not). Basically, its a 54ml tube of 'friction modifier' that you add to the gearbox oil. This stuff is brilliant and it works instantly. Of course, it is a temporary measure that reportedly lasts about 10,000ks but none the less at a tenner a tube its cheaper than a new Torque Converter.
I have no idea whether this would work in a Freelander, but I thought I'd pass on this tip.
Best Wishes,
P
