    Final Fix for Tranny Fault and Gear Circuit Faults P0915 and P0850

    For months I was plagued with an intermittent tranny fault. It would happen when the car was warm. Put the car in Park and would get a tranny fault, a car not in park fault , and a bunch of flashing lights on the dash. Also weird clunking sounds at low speeds. Started with cleaning and swapping...

    Just dropped my Tranny Pan and found metal sludge on sliding shift portion of mechatronic.

    Been having intermittent P0915 and P0850 codes on 2011 LR4. both have to do with park neutral circuit and gear selection circuit. Tranny has a melt down when the codes pop up and tranny fault hits dash. Car rests overnight and problems go away. Before I pull the electronic potion off the valve...

    For those who have done tranny work!

    I did post this in another forum but no answers! Thought I try this group! I have a 2011 LR4 with 212,000 miles. ZF6HP26 transmission.Manual shifter, not round pop up one. When tranny is cold it easily shifts from to Park and Drive. The click f the brake release is felt. When tranny is hot...

    205,000 miles and about to service transmission question.

    Did this happen to you? I've read some stories about this and saw a few videos that claim it will happen. Should I just start with taking about 4 quarts out and replacing 4 new quarts back in?

    I actually have two LR4's. One with a new engine with 175,000 on the tranny and the other with 205,000. Neither transmission have been service and still have original fluids.

    205,000 miles and about to service transmission question.

    My transmission has never been touched and shifts smoothly but is starting to shows signs of needing service. Slight shudder at low rpms up a hill and has the rpm fluctuation at hwy speeds that many have cured with fresh fluid. I'm well studied on how to do just a flush or how to do a new...

    First time front hub replacement and pic of damaged threads with advice needed.

    I took out the indent. The damage is further in. Almost as if the nut wasn't tightened down enough and the slop wore the thread off. But I did see metal shavings dropping as I was back the nut off.

    First time front hub replacement and pic of damaged threads with advice needed.

    I had noise coming from the front passanger wheel area and it sounded typical of a wheel bearing got out. Not too bad when driving straight but louder on left or right turns. I could not find play in the tire when I jacked it up, but could not think of any other reason the noise was there. Also...

    How to understand compression issue. Rings or Valves? Video attracted

    Thank you all for the input. Found a shop that could do a proper compression test to determine if its the valves or rings. Still was quoted about $3500 for redoing a single head and about 4k for both heads. They quoted from the book that its 20 hours to pull a head. I dont like "the book" ...

    I love the lengthy posts! Beemernut I wish you lived close and I could learn a few things from you.! So I might call around and see if I can hire a mechanic to do a proper leak down test to determine the issue. Here’s a question for everybody. Let’s say it’s determined that it is one of the...

    How to understand compression issue. Rings or Valves? Video attracted

    I paid 12k for the car when it had 120k miles. It came with a nice full length roof rack, a Warn winch with PIAA lights. Now at 150k miles with almost all the routine maintenance done including transmission service. The only outstanding item was the timing chain. Yes Stuart, it is smooth above...

    How to understand compression issue. Rings or Valves? Video attracted

    Tried Restore product for the rings, Seafoam in the tank, and Seafoam in the induction. If clear the CEL light it will stay off for about 30 minutes then come back on. No evidence of a head gasket failure since only one cylinder is misfiring and has low compression. At RMPs above 800 its very...
