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 isnt one. theres a plug on the side of the trannsmission.
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.
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.
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 a 200tdi and 300tdi there is a little square pot at the back left hand side of the engine bay. The pot is see through. on the side of it there are 2 lines, a minimum and a maximum line. Using DOT 4 brake fluid to top up but do not exceed the maximum line.
The level of the fluid is critical. get it done by somebody who is familiar with automatics.
dexron 3 or 4
