I am wondering why my transmission shifts up at odd intervals. It seems that the 3rd to 4th gear change is in quick succession...like a double shift. I've know that autotrans with dirty fluid, etc. can having sloppy shifting...then when you change the fluid...it acts better.?!
Idk if I would call what he describes as normal operation. Maybe for this vehicle.? My 04 does it. It also doesn't kick down unless alot of throttle is applied.
I talked about it here and other threads but never really got a good answer. In one discussion someone mentioned reprogramming. Can't remember where
I'm not saying his problem is normal. I'm saying that a torque converter locking up is normal, and therefore the converter locking up wouldn't throw a code.
There is 90,000 miles on the truck. I've only had it for a month. I have not yet changed the ATF or do I know when it was last changed. No OBD code light at all.
Then if there is any question as to the tranny, start with a fluid change, no filter at this mileage.
I would suggest you send me your number and I'll walk you thru what and how to do it.
That would be great, but I live in Canada near Toronto. That might add up...
I have a downloded version of the Land Rover Shop manual. It pretty much covers everything as far I can see. I understand that there is no dipstick with this trans. (I find that odd.) So, it says I have to check levels by removing a bolt while the engine's idling. Top it off, etc.
Draining is pretty simple too...
I guess I have to "pump" the ATF fluid in in this case?!
I have free long distance if you need help, and you will.
