Hi,
Well this is an old problem of my KV6. been like this for the last 1 year. the auto trans is slipping when changing from 3rd to 4rd gear and it only happens when its hot.
Anyone has a clue? it looks like got something to do with the oil actually.
 
hmmm...not quite sure actually but i think its the same. btw never tow anything...not sure with the previous owner...but yes there is a small leak
 
The odd thing is it only happen when it is hot and only from 3rd to 4th...there rest are fine
 
I had a similar prob on mine - but it was more noticeable in manual (maybe i drove it harder). I was told its an overhaul jobby - but with an intercooler to keep the oil running cooler it was about £1800.

not good news - but then they could have been bull****ting me.:eek:

this mite help;)
 
I think all the Jatco boxes have an oil cooler - but I am lead to believe it is not really man enough if yu do a lot of towing - hence I was advised to get an uprated one fitted whilst the box was being overhauled - as it was I sold it with a slipping 3rd-4th;)

I thought - wot with the heating/overheating probs with the petrol hippoos - an uprated cooler wouldnt go amiss anyway.
 
I agree with dearot. ALL freelander faults can be traced back to the thermostat. might not even be your own thermostat, could have been the cars that you parked next to 3 years ago. it's always a stat problem.
 
porky recominds changin the oil int g/box furst. . . .the correct stuff and exact amount,its bin documinted. . . . . . .:)
 
yu reckon just do it when it is up to temperature?

Dont furget the overflow plug is easily mistaken - and if yu undo the wrong one - yu can fook the complete box. It is covered here...

mite be worth reading this too - but I dont think this is ya problem.
