Yes, I found the pinout for all gearbox connectors - a helpful forum member posted 2 PDF files in my other thread. I can't seem to get rave to work. It launches Adobe Acrobat 4? and only displays a summary and table of contents... I can't find any diagrams... I'm probably doing something...

Ok, I believe I've found the cause of the problem: According to the manual and several other sources, the only condition that would make 5th gear inoperable as described in the first post (car will not engage 5th) is a faulty selector switch. I'll attempt to replace the selector switch from...

Managed to figure it out - it was the airbag / rollover sensor. I used the loom that came with the engine from the donor car (manual). The car runs now, everything works except for hill descend contol, temp gauge and the tachometer. Hill descend doesn't work because I haven't figured out where...

Got it figured. So when installing the clutch pump, I tripped the red roll-over / crash sensor thing, and that cut off the fuel supply completely. I wasn't getting power at the front pump or the one in the boot. To sum it up, when working on the clutch pump, break pump or under the triangular...

Oh cool. You learn something new every day. I guess I'll fit my old ECM and EWS back in then. Thanks!

Nothing wrong with the old engine, but it had a lot of km on it - 350k km to be exact - and was leaking from everyware, while the engine from the donor car only has 160k km and is in excelent condition. But that's not why I swapped it - I swapped the whole drivetrain because it was a lot less...

Swapped the drivetrain on my nfl freelander td4 from automatic to manual after the jatco gearbox failed. Not done yet, I still have a few odds and ends to tidy up, mostly wiring and electrical stuff, but it's coming along. At this point I have the new drivetrain in the car (engine plus gearbox...

Hello everyone. I'm hoping some of you can help me with problems I'm having with a 2000 L314 TD4... The Jatco automatic gearbox on the car failed and I decided to swap to a manual drivetrain from a totaled 2001 TD4 I bought a few months ago. Everything went well until this afternoon when I...

Thank you for your help, I'll watch the video and do the checks when I get to the garage.

yeah that's what I did but even after removing 1.9L it's still pouring out. Guess I'll have to keep draining via the level plug until it turns into a dribble. That was my guess as well, since the gearbox is grossly overfilled. No gear selection trouble. The car seems to go trough all gears -...

I did, the car was running and in Park. ATF temperature hovered between 32 and 48C. Sorry, I don't exactly understand this phrasing - what do you mean by leave oil level? I take it the "pineaple" is the valve block? Is it accessible without having to take the gearbox covers off? How do I...

Ok so I finally got around to my wife's TD4 - the one mentioned in this thread. Didn't start with the gearbox, there were other things I had to fix first - namely the fuel tank support bracket was rotted out and I had to rebuild it, since a new one cost more then I'm willing to spend (at least...

Hello everyone! I recently bought our 2nd freelander, a 2004 TD4 5 door Sport with 180k miles on it - the car was originally RHD, it came from the UK, and the previous owner had it converted to LHD at a specialist shop. The issue I'm having with it is it won't go into 5th gear. At 110 kph it's...
