Transmission swap
Found a transmission for $600 with 63k on it and my independent says he’ll put it in for $1000. Tempted, but I like the challenge so I’m going for it. Planning to put it up on ramps for rear tires and large jack stands in the front (with additional supports under tires and a second set of...- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
I’ll be safe, promise. No wheels off so risk of car crushing me are minimal. Plan to have back up support also, in case of jack stand failure. Plan to also fully support trans at all times and never be under it.- scott schmerge

Will be able to gauge height with replacement trans prior to disassembly. I’m thinking I’ll have plenty of space- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
Yes, sir, it will...hopefully neither happen. I’ve got a buddy to help and a transmission jack. I’ll document my setup and everyone can learn from my mistakes (hopefully I don’t make any).- scott schmerge

Compomotive PD 1881 finish delamination
They are shooting themselves in the foot. I was all set to purchase. Hearing these complaints, I’m no longer a prospective buyer. I guess they don’t care, but sooner or later they’ll find themselves with a shortage of customers- and they will have done that to themselves. Premium brand should...- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
I don’t have any of that. Planning to go in from underneath. Transmission should arrive later this week. Will do a video and post up here when done I did find a workshop manual and seems very straightforward (famous last words). Biggest thing I need is Transmission Jack and a bunch of ratchet...- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
Thanks bud. I’ve watched a LR3 done on YouTube. Can’t be all that different. I think the biggest thing is the exhaust. Transmission is identical to later LR3’s. If I do it, I’ll document and share the video. Might get hairy on my garage floor, but here’s to the challenge. Waiting to hear from...- scott schmerge

Back to the question at hand...anyone have experience with transmission swap in one of these? I surely can’t be the first- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
Definitely going to do something with it. I may just sell the valve body and recoup what I’m paying for the transmission! My valve body has new solenoids in it and is in good shape. Solenoids alone are $320 new. Rebuild is not a bad idea for the box. Will need new torque converter. I don’t...- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
Nope. Bought the truck with a torque converter shudder. Was hoping all it needed was fresh fluids, seals, etc. it was too far gone by that point though. Went 115k with original fluid in it. It’s been limping along with dr trannys shudder fix and a couple of fluid changes. Had it...- scott schmerge

Another Defender hint?
I’ve gotta say, I’m not hating it as much as I thought I would. This should not be the next Defender (and I’m still not convinced I’ll like it). More suited as the LR5 we should have had.- scott schmerge

Transmission swap
Anyone do a transmission swap on their LR4 yet? I’m building courage to do it myself. I’m done throwing parts at this thing and found a used low mileage trans for a good price. If you’ve done one, any advice, things to watch out for? I’m rather capable, just have never done a transmission...- scott schmerge

warnings galore
Get a mightyvac, seriously. Oil change will never cost you more than 10 minutes and the cost of oil and filter. No mess and don’t have to get under the car. I would probably feel comfortable doing it in dress clothes. Look at youtube videos of lr4 oil change and mightyvac. You can get them on...- scott schmerge

Dang. Do you have a gap tool? Live values might help you see something irregular. Hopefully rail pressure sensor is it.- scott schmerge

Transmission valve body
I was mistaken, the transmission has been updated to the current version prior to my ownership but not re-flashed. I have reset adaptations with little improvement. Transmission re-flash ($34) purchased through Gap IID fast lane and plan to do the procedure tomorrow (I’d do it today but...- scott schmerge
