Disco II towed while in park
#21
seals do go bad when sitting because they dry out. I figure they will pull the pan and take a look see. thats all they can really do. anything else and they would have to pull the tranny apart. I dont think with the t-case in neutral there was any damage. but a flush is something that should be done anyway. now if this is a used engine make sure they put new head gaskets in it.

Ok, the T-Case was in neutral. I put it in low and front tire would just move a little either way. Put in High, same thing. Put back in neutral and tire would spin freely.
Would that mean I am completely out of the woods?
The shop does plan to flush the transmission and inspect (whatever that means). What could go wrong sitting, other than seals?

Seals and old fluid sitting for a long time not moving can clog up passage ways in the transmission. The shops inspection should be good if they are a decent shop.

actually they probably wont even pull the pan. probably just look for leaks. but a flush is a maintence item that should be done. have them put some lucas transmission stuff in it too. not the lucas conditioner, the stuff that says transmission fix on the bottle. but if they do pull the pan and put a new filter in it thats good too. but that is something that you can do yourself.

X2. That's the best way to get air in your tranny.
I'm curious as to how the T-Case was put into neutral without someone first putting the transmission into neutral?

This is my hypothesis:
Since the truck sat for 4 years not running, my guess is that it was towed to that spot. Whoever towed the truck 4 years ago probably put the T-Case in Neutral for the tow and when they dropped it off they probably just moved the gear shifter to park to get the key out and left the T-Case in Neutral.
