The Jatco box will consume between 4 and 5 quarts when fully drained. The service procedure is very specific. I can send you via e-mail the information as I own a copy of RAVE that has all of the Freelander manuals up to 2003.

Some people have used Transmax2 as oOther Japanese cars that use Jatco's specify that one. But it sounds like your transmission is failing. Freelander Jatco's will almost always start to lose 4th and 5th gear when they are about to fail completely. Then the 3rd gear goes and so on.... As the Jatco has no dispstick, it's not a trivial procedure to properly top-off a Jatco.
