(1/2) > >>

Dave_:
i was running through town, as usual then when i came to a hill it wouldnt come out of 1st gear, then when it got to about 4000rpm it dropped out of gear totally, so iv limped home at 15mph at 1500rpm
theres a whining noise when the cars stationary

help im desperate! :shock:


sorry its an auto 3.9 1991

clbarclay:
Auto box I take it?

Sorry but I don't have the bible to hand to give a diagnosis untill the weekend, somebody else on here must have a genuine workshop manual. Mind you unless you work somewhere like Ashcrofts and have access to a suitable pressure guage then you probably won't be able to do too much more than just changing the oil and filtre a couple of times.

crazymac:
Could be the clutch fork?? Its still time to drop the box but you could be lucky.

As far as I know the gearboxes don't just "go" like that, there is usually some signs?

I don't know about the rangerover, but the discovery boxes are prone to the fork failing. Good luck.

As an after thought, check your fluids etc, it could just be something as simple as no clutch fluid??

Bowie:
check your transmission fluid level, and see what it looks like at the same time.......

Range Rover Blues:
Could just be an oil probelm, it's not generating the pressure that changes up or one of the servos inside isn't working, hence no gears.

That said unless it's dropped some oil and run low there isn't much you can do to fix it.  Buy a S/H box with some sort of reputation, it'll work out cheaper than a recon.
