Tranny Advice... - Land Rovers Only

Strike6000 · 01-10-2006, 11:32 AM

I have a '96 Discovery, Series 1 with 73,000 miles. Recently, I've been having some trouble with what sounds like the transmission.

Here are the symptoms:
1. Irregular reving mostly in lower gears.
2. Completely slipping out of gear while driving. I give it gas and the engine just revs and I dont move.
3. When I put it in reverse, I hear a sort of grinding/reving and it wont move (Bad huh?)
4. Metal shavings in my trans fluid (Worse huh?)

Anyone with a similar experience or offer any advice?

Also, does anyone know of a good/reliable mechanic in Los Angeles (aside from the dealer).

I appreciate any help.
