Gents just to keep everyone up to date I had a new gearbox in my 2007 4.2 in August this year since then have done 9000 miles . Went back to stealers today and went out with Steve their workshop manager - top bloke - for test drive the result is it is going in next tuesday for evaluation symptoms thump on changing up at low speed also holding gear after acceleration and foot taken off throttle. They are also going to look at the whole drive train to see if there is any abnormal wear so we may be in for another gearbox as he thinks it is a failing solenoid. The reason for doing it now is that the LR warranty runs out at end of Feb albeit the new gearbox is under JLR warranty so we shall know more next Tuesday

Right so she went in to stealers and they checked out transmission all bushes bearings diffs the lot for any movement and play and reported back not a bit of movement all in fine working order so the clunk etc from gear change is not taking up slack in transmission so going in on Monday next to have adaptions reset and some test drives they have sent the telemetry to JLR and ZF so we shall see AND the best bit when I asked for a bill they said nothing to pay and Monday will be free too and got it washed yippee
will keep everyone updated as we go

See above for the 14 jan update

Good service Sandy. Not cheap for LR warranty but our experience has been a lot of good will from the dealer to accompany/ support the LR warranty, almost like an acknowledgement that a premium has been paid and that loyalty counts for something.

interesting about the gearbox adaptations, i wonder what it actually does... ... - .- -.

Have to say the Stealer has been very good and offers discounts on service rates to returning customers still a bit more expensive but I always get a courtesy car.
I will ask the service manager about the software changes they are going to make and report back on the effect this has on the gearbox if any

thanks sandy


i wonder if this can be done with the iidtool, anyone know? ... - .- -.

Yes think it can but be careful read of someone who reset theirs to factory settings and it was rough as you like as it had adjusted to compensate for wear but sure someone else maybe Phil would be able to tell us

Aha Craig that makes sense and is probably what happened to them. I know with my old gearbox they did a double flush and refill and it made a hell of a difference - didn't cure the thumping gear change problem but it did improve the overall performance I was quite surprised at the change and as you say both together for a leggy box might be too much

Well........ Shall we say, a little knowledge can be a bad thing sometimes Stan Given the tools to do a job and a lack of understanding/knowledge can be a very bad recipe!!!

looks like you just described me..

Craig what would you consider high millage ? I have a zf 6 speed that I am considering having the fluid changed. Car has 90k on the clock and the box runs great I do some times get the rollout thud when creeping up to a junction or roundabout but to be honest I think my diving has adjusted as it doesn't happen much anymore. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )
