Raise your vehicle, remove the oil fill plug and metal washer in the transmission pan,(located in the front of the pan) Fill with fluid until it runs out of the oil fill plug hole. Replace (quickly) the oil fill plug and snug it up. Lower the vehicle, then apply your emergency brake, depress your brake pedal.
Then start the vehicle, let it idle. engage your shifter into reverse,(remember, keep your foot on the brake while doing this!) then neutral, then drive, then 1,2,3. Do this a couple of times, (this circulates the fluid into the torque converter and every where else it needs to go).
Okay, then raise the vehicle, (while the engine is still running) remove the fill plug again, and fill it up again until about a 2 millimeter stream of fluid runs out of the oil fill plug hole. Quickly replace the oil plug again and this time, tighten it up for good.
You are good to go!!!!
The automatic and manual gearboxes in series 1 and 2 Discovery both use dextron 3. Discovery TD5 uses MTF94 fluid and can only get it from Land Rover dealers or specialists. I believe there is not a compatible alternative.
It is important to know the types of fluids that go into different cars. A Land Rover Discovery takes Dexron III automatic transmission fluid.
where do I put trasmission fluid in landrover discovery 2
Dextron III ATF
If a 1993 Land Rover Discovery is stuck in a low ratio gear, check the transmission fluid levels. If the fluid levels check out okay, the transmission may be experiencing a jammed gear.
ATF Dexron IID or Dexron III
There is not transmission dipstick on the 2001 Land Rover Discovery.
there isnt one. theres a plug on the side of the trannsmission.
According to everyone I have talked to (many mechanics), Land Rover has it's own transmission fluid that it requires for its vehicles. And, it is only sold at the dealership. I was told by my Napa Auto parts guy that Amsoil produces a synthetic transmission fluid that will work.
On non dipstick type transmission you cannot check the fluid level directly, but there is a bolt front of the transmission sump, unscrew and you can refill to that level.
To check the transmission fluid level on a 2001 Land Rover Discovery, start with the vehicle on a level surface and the engine running. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually found near the rear of the engine bay, and remove it to wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick fully, then remove it again to check the fluid level, which should be between the "hot" marks if the engine is warm. If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
The amount of transmission fluid a Land Rover Discovery requires can vary based on the model year and engine type. Generally, it can range from approximately 8 to 12 quarts (7.6 to 11.4 liters) when performing a full fluid change. It's important to consult the owner's manual or a service guide specific to your model for the exact specifications.
