My experience of autos is clean clean clean and no problems. One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Would a dealership do this ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Dealerships would rather sell you a new transmission One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Landrover service schedules have it listed to be done every 10 years or 150K miles 56 TDV8 Vogue SE
9 Freelanders, 2x 2002 TD4ES, 2001 TD4, 2002 1.8GS, 2000 XEDI, 2x 2000 1.8ES, 2004 1.8 & 2000 1.8 GS (rolled)
91 Lotus Carlton (sold)
90 Lotus Elan (BRG)

For info. this is what ZF, the manufacturer of your 6HP26 transmission, have to say on the subject.

From the official ZF repair manual for the 6HP26:

I drained the oil out of mine at 100,000 it was not pretty, still going strong at 145,000 One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

dealer can do it, though it will be pricey aroung £500 notes if memory serves when i asked for a quote. As said it is now part of the LR service schedule for the TDV8 at 10 years. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

will be 2-230 ish in our group flush !!!! One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

I had mine Megaflushed, it gets a much higher percentage of the old ATF out and replaces with lovely crimson new fluid.

Cost about £200 from memory. Land Rover dealers do not offer this.

The fluid alone is normally £150 we are hoping to get a bulk buy of fluid by getting a few of us together, labour charge is £100 + fluid, pretty cheap I reckon seeing the machine is around 4k One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Mine was hanging between 1st and 2nd.

Seems to have cured the problem.

My experience has been that a full flush made absolutely no difference. Working fine - full flush after 45,000 miles, 15000 miles later new box.

interesting... ... - .- -.
