For those unaware, the gearbox flush is now recommended by ZF at 50-75k. It's essential to preserve the life of the box that it gets fresh oil, and in time. If you've reached 50k+ and the transmission hasn't yet had fresh oil, then I would strongly recommend that you get this done. Please don't hesitate and leave it too late, or torque converter replacement, or worse, a full gearbox recon is the result. Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

England 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Had mine flushed and re-oiled by Neil at Bristol Transmissions. A really straight up guy who knows his stuff.
Unfortunately at 79k now, my transmission is developing error reports. Mainly delayed gear changes and the occasional soft "thud" when gear changing.
In my case, the flush and oil didn't solve anything.
So, I have to book in January to get them to totally overhaul my transmission and replace all the parts that are wearing.
I love my vehicle, it still looks great, all the important maintenance has been done and it's all paid for.
So....I'm just going to bite the bullet and get it done.
Been quoted £2,250 + vat. Big Cry
Neil is a specialist and after talking to him, he said there is no hard and fast mileage at which this happens. He's had vehicles in for this at 50k and some at 120k.....luck of the draw.
Unfortunately, automatic transmissions are a "black art" I suppose.

Gaz. I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

Not sure specifically, but I would certainly apply it to the 8 speed too. The advice of changing ATF sooner and more frequently pretty much applies to autoboxes as a whole. Thumbs Up

True enough, you can be unlucky and get issues at lower mileage as you have, though issues at higher mileages also become a certainty if the ATF isn't changed soon enough. Sad Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
