Mega Flush and Re-Map just done :-)

Had a full gearbox mega flush and remap today... the difference is unreal...
old gearbox oil was very black and definitely past it!
Acceleration 1st-4th is now brutal... (if you want it to be)
win win all round 👍🏻
Thanks to JGS 4x4, top job and a free coffee to boot

Think flush was about £300 with the extra additives I had put in and the re-maps are £250

I had Dr Tranny added in, I use it in all my land rover gearboxes to be fair..
Its a friction modifier that stops torque convertor shudder.
More of a preventative measure. 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE

Thanks

Do they use a ZF lifeguard equivalent oil at that price? It seems very reasonable given the cost of Lifeguard fluid x the amount needed to flush 4.2 SC - sold , now bought back
