TC problems some help please.

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

you need to use mtf94 oil in manual boxes

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.

Thanks will check,and no i did not disconnect drive to the rear wheels.
