With the standard plastic sump as originally fitted by Land Rover a fluid and filter change on this transmission is a very lengthy process. The sump and filter are normally one piece and fitting involves jacking the engine up and unbolting the mounts, plus the removal of the exhaust. The fitting of this kit is far easier. Once the fluid has been drained from the transmission simply remove the bolts from the old unit. Cut the old plastic sumps filter tube with a hacksaw. Slide the old sump out and remove the other end of the sawn off filter tube. The new separate filter can then be fitted and the new sump pan slides into place and is bolted up with the new gasket supplied. Once secure the transmission can be filled as per manufacturer?s instructions.

Degradation in oil can lead to judder, noise and a deterioration in gearchange quality. ZF recommend oil and filter changes after 50,000 to75,000 miles on all 5, 6 & 8 speed automatic gearboxes to ensureoptimum performance.
