Thanks Best
now to go buy 2 gallons of atf and 2 gallons of gear oil lol
transmission filter kit ordered and should be here by the weekend

 

I just had an issue with my transmission fluid. By issue, I mean I drove all day today ~100 miles and as I finally was leaving work at 5:00pm, my 2000 Disc II made it 80 yards and then stopped moving. Having recently changed the throttle position sensor, and no flashing lights...I knew something was sideways. I pull the car over, went under to check the drive shafts..all good. Hmmm, lets check the ATF level. Ran a long zip tie down the top fill port.....dry ---What the...! Pull the drain plug, and all I get is ~6 oz of fluid. I never get drips when parked, not even engine oil <-- I know, I'm amazed about that as well, seeing as I do my own maintenance and just reached 229,000 miles last week. I believe it drips from the tranny pan seal when hot and over the last ~8 months (since I changed the tranny filter), its been slowly leaking out on the road at high speeds.

Point being is I went to buy ATF and the service guy at Auto Zone seemed lost and confused. I went straight to their lubricant oils book for reference and it called out the Valvoline High Mileage AFT VI Fully Synthetic. I bought it, although most searched on the web called for Dexron III. Now home and safe with all gears shifting and tranny pan full, I started to doubt my purchase and choice of ATF. On to LR Forum I went, make a a quick search for the oil and to my surprise, someone had the same inquiry.

Thanks you ALL for your combined shared knowledge. I get stopped nearly every day with folks giving me the thumbs up for my 2000 Disco. I know all of you out there get the same. We are a special breed, and this forum helps keep that alive.

Cheers! from Tustin, CA.

I was lucky to have Paul Grant supply me with a Disco 1 transmission pan with a dip stick a few years ago. It has come in very handy to check the oil level and condition on a number of ocassions. Highly recommended if you can find a Disco 1 pan at a wrecking yard.

 

I just picked one up today from Roadside Werx in Denver. They do ship all over and good god Matt has just about every rover part one could ever want. Great people as well there.

 

wait you can do that?
now I want too

 

Yep my 99 D2 is sporting the D1 dipstick and D1 pan!! Very hard to find at junk yards without a darn hole punched into them!!!

 

Steel pan, you could weld it. Just a thought.

 

I grabbed these pics off Ebay on a D1 transmission for sale. They show the dipstick tube here.

The dipstick will come out from the engine bay, near the SAI pump area.
