No way that I know of. @HenryB recommends tightening the valve block bolts, that cured flaring on mine. However if it shifts well, I cannot see it being low oil pressure. Are you sure it's the gearbox and not the transfer box?

Is there any way to diagnose this problem further without taking the gearbox apart? It sounds likely from what the LR specialist said that the oil pressure could be low, is there any way to test whether it is?

Never seen anything on my two. A cracked flex plate may also cause your symptoms.

Is it really that bad? I thought a bit of powder was normal, iirc the filter is magnetic and gathers the shavings. I assume it's from all the grinding, but other than the jolting and grinding it's working quite fine and doesn't really act up.

We fill it on even ground with the engine running at cold start.

Fixed slooby's old Rangie. Running nicely. Leak off on #2 and #3 were leaking everywhere, of course. Quick fix with sone spare pipe I had ready. Now what the hell do I do with it? MoT test, maybe?

She's shy 🤣

You are🤪😘

My gearbox did not have a hard time, it had about three days of missing gear changes on a 10 minute drive, and then I stopped driving it, found the leak, fixed it and filled it up again.

I was not offended by it. But have a look at the second comment. Then the third comment, the fourth comment, the fifth comment, the six comment etc. But if you want to call it banter then everything that I have said back to you guys is just...

And for the 3rd time I will find this out with my OBD reader so I'm not worried.

I'm not driving it there to scrap it on this trip, instead I need it to make it all the way there and back without any problems. I have stated repeatedly that this will be a return trip. It may be another few years before I leave England and at...

Speaking from very recent experience, if an suto box runs for any petiod of time with less than the normal amount of fluid in it, it will soon be curtains for the box. And mine had less of a hard time than the OP's one did.

Phil is the guru on these boxes. Whatever he says.

I mentioned oil pressure and water pump for cooling. I don't know if it will be an issue but it is something I would keep an eye on in case it becomes an issue. I'm not a motor engineer, I am a tinkerer and I am well aware that these things are...

If you just going to scarp it why all the bother? Just thrash it down the road at 1500rpm instead of 1200rpm and be done with it.

If your diffs new diffs fit physically. Your torque converter will spend more time out off lockup. That will result in more heat in your atf fluid so a slight decrease in atf fluid lifetime. Then higher cylinder pressures. It will take x amount...

Be Surprised if it makes it the whole way

+1 it's all described in RAVE, but that doesn't detail the ECU strategy. Only how valve-4 works & the stages.

Hes driving it there and scraping it why bother??? J

The auto box is controlled electronically and the firmware can be adapted for many different situations just as it will be different for the petrol engine compared to the diesel.

If you're offended by words like "kiddo", or the other sentences in Mark's initial post, then you definitely need to man up. There was definitely absolutely nothing in there that was offensive, racist, abusive or otherwise !! It's called...

All I can remember is, I had the emegency valves. so when fitted I gave them a little puff to take the shape, and lowered it slowly to make sure it all folded where it should. Then put it up to "about the right" height. then let the system get...

Except the extra load needed to drive that high ratio. You skip over answering anything technically, in all my posts. I try to provide technical data/reasons So if your want Patronizing comments. go speak to yourself in the mirrior. J

So if your gona drive it there and scrap it why bother with any of this bollocks :vb-confused2: J

Tempting fate lad😱😝

Its been so long since I needed mine. But I know the leads and drivers were an issue to get the right 1s. I cant even remember what win version I was running. The leads you have wont work i can be sure of that. But now, if you put new bags, new...

Oh but I do. 😉
