Good day would like some information guidance please my 02 TD4 when pulling off sometimes the TC light comes on and I feel a slight vibration for about 2 sec then it goes off a friend suggested it might be the transmission,The vehicle mileage is about 116k and the transmission oil has never been changed,The oil I would like to use or change to Schaeffer’s 0204 SAT ALL-TRANS has anyone used this oil on their transmission and do you think my TC problem has anything to do with my transmission thanks.

sounds more like you have a heavy accelerator foot or your tyres are getting worn. the light and shuddering sound like your t.c. doing what its supposed to do. trying to stop wheel spin.
dunno about the oil you want to use though

Thanks for your response and yes my foot is a little heavy but I did change my tires recently but the TC problem was happening before, and it mostly happens when I accelerate off at approximately 3000rpm.

It's not a manual box it's a jatco Steptronic Automatic Transmission thanks.

if you need 3000rpm just to set off then a flashing light and shudder is the least of your problems. the t.c. system is fine. the problem is the driver

The correct oil for the Freelander 1 Jatco auto is LR part no STC50531. Also called LR402, or Texaco N402.

As said above 3000 revs it a lot if you use this often. Have you disconnected drive to the rear wheels? I did this recently. The v6 will wheel spin too easily if you do this.

I never removed anything and the problem is actuality between 2000 & 2500 rpm when pulling off or even driving and the gears shift, it does not happen all the time, also do you or anyone else knows of a hand held scanner to actuality work on the TD4 2001 would like to get one Thanks.
