Hi does any know the symptom's of a discovery 1994 auto gear box when the torque converter goes....????? is it noisey do the gears slip.Bloody Discovery has only done 46k from new.:eek:

I remember one of the landrover tests was to put it in drive keep foot on brake and floor throttle if it went over 2700rpm the torque conv was faulty and if it would not go over something like 2000rpm engine was faulty!
This is from memory but all the info is on the rave cd available from e-bay.

Jono, might be better telling us what problem you have rather than asking for a confirmation of a diagnosis. You will get much clearer answers rather than loads of guesses.

Hi i would tell you the problems ive got but its a bit hard as its a noise one not sure if its gear box or the front cam,crank pulleys its like a very loud rattling noise like a noise inside some thing.definately not engine noise.regards jono

Is the noise speed related, both road and engine. Is it there when in neutral, when the clutch is pressed or not. Is there any vibration?

Hi it is an auto box,do believe it is the torque converter so need a gear box specialist or a recon box, does anyone know a good specialist or have a recon box 4 sale.

Could be transfer box as they are more likely to be noisy than an auto box.

Wot, auto's don't have a clutch. Who says ;)

Posted a stock answer, without reading properly. Too much vino, me thinks.

Check the backplate on the handbrake drum, they sometimes work loose.
