Gearbox help?

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
The whole drive thing is dependant on the oil pressure so waterin the oil is a possibility.  It should be chjanged once in a while anyway.  Don't worry about the bang for now, that happens if you engage drive or reverse about idle speed.  It''s nothing too serious if it will still drive but the torque converter will now be full of crap too if there is water in there and I don't know if that can be drained :?

I have a 4 speed auto on 87 rangie and it has the same problem, it loses drive if you go below 10mph (ish). It has been like this for the last year or so  clocking up over 20,000 miles, it has had the filters cleaned, the flushing process is to change fluid, drive it about and change fluid again, 5 times is supposed to be the amount needed to flush the torque converter as there is always half left in it when you drain the box (unless you can pick up your rangie, rest it on the towbar and give it a gentle shake) This made no difference at all to mine, (flushing i mean and not the shaking) I thought it may have been a sticking valve in the governor but that was checked when filter was done. been told now that the clutch on first(auto) has probably gone, You will always get drive in 1st manual as it is a gear rather than a clutch (as far as i remember anyhow).

You'll get used to it with the only side effect being that you will find that every other auto you drive will see you putting it into 1st to pull away and go up through the gears into drive to the bemusement of your passengers.  This isnt such a bad habbit to be in anyway, the other bonus ......People dont ask to borrow it anymore  :D

As for fluid, I'm pretty sure Dextron II ATF  is the right stuff, will check, off the top of my head i think box has 7 litre capacity but  takes roughly 5 at each flush as some remains in the torque converter.
