2003 Discovery 2 BLOWN TRANNY.. Any suggestions??

I had Aamco put a low mileage tranny in mine. They did it 3 times till they found out it was a bad flex-plate that kept wiping out the front pump in the tranny. I just got it back from the 3rd trip back to Aamco. I had to take it back for transmission, and transfer case leaks, wiring harness not put back the way it should have been, a vent tube not attached, and Transmission over-temperature light on when driving a distance. I will see if they corrected the problems. It cost me 2800.00+ for this.

Wow, now that's a horror story.. Where you taking yours off road a lot.. My friend? Never

Don't you dare buy a new tranny till we talk, there are other things that can cause this.
PM me your number and lets talk tomorrow.
Tranny's don't make that noise, it will be a diff or t/case.

X2 Sounds like the transfer case. Could be a linkage problem. Mine (04) kinda got engaged weird one time. It popped out of gear and for a brief second made somewhat of a noise you describe. Mine had a yellow gear warning light pop up on the dash. I pulled over and re-shifted the transfer case while rolling at walking speed. I lube mine and it helped some but it always has only shifted good while rolling a little bit. I never really heard a sure answer if this is normal or not.....?? I just haven't had it bother me enough...yet.

Why didn't you get a second opinion by another shop?

So what is happening to the truck?

Check you tcase shifter!!!

my father has an 01, land rovers linkage on the h-n-l gears is pretty solid, but the piece the linkage itself connects to, a lever system i think it is, is brass, and pretty soft. he let someone borrow it, and while he was driving it made a weird noise, and then lost all power, like as if he was into neutral, id shimmy your hand were the brass piece is (ill try and post a pic) and see if you sheared it off ( what my fathers friend did).id check it out before you plan to buy a tranny.

I PM'd you cell mike.. Thank you

If it turns out you need either a transmission or a transfer case, I have both for your truck. I even have an '04 transfer case so you could add the locking differential linkage to your truck. After you talk to Mike and get sorted what you need, give me a call. I've sure I can save you a ton of money over some of the other prices you've been quoted.
Cheers,
Paul

Ok Paul.. Lets see what Mike thinks
