MAKE Land Rover MODEL Freelander YEAR 1998 -
Checking fluid level - Have the Vehicles Transmission warm, raised up in the air & idling in Park
- Undo the 5mm allen key (check fluid level plug) located under the trans, and confirm that oil spills out
- If trans fluid spills out, this means fluid is full
- If there is no trace of fluid coming out of the hole, the trans is in need of topping up
Adding Fluid
To fill this transmission with fluid, you need to insert fluid through the tiny access hole located on top of the oil pan (facing the front of the vehicle)
- The access hole is plugged up with a grommet which needs to simply be removed
Servicing the transmission
Undo the drain plug located on the bottom of the transmission and let drain
- Follow procedures (adding fluid & checking fluid level as above)
Beware use caution:
Do not attempt to undo the plug located on the side of the transmission as this will disengage the band assembly causing it to loose reverse and slippage in forward gears.
