Used tranny of rebuild kit?
Was experiencing some shuddering when I bought my disco and eventually decided to Service the tranny fluid. To my dismay it was pretty much completely burnt. So I did two consecutive changes and have been driving it around without much issue since then.
so last night's I decided to change the fluid again to see what kind of shape it was in a sure enough it was fairly burnt again. Not nearly as bad as before, just a slight brown tint and burnt smell, but definitely have friction issues.
So... what do you guys recommend, besides a professional rebuild? I'm not going to pay someone 3k to rebuild the stock tranny, not gonna happen lol.
In my mind, I can either get a $300 rebuild kit and do it myself (yes I know it's complicated), or buy a used one.

Discovery Transmissions - Complete
you can check them out. They are around $1500. I turned wrenches for a while and refused to rebuild transmissions. They are a major pia. Personally on any of my vehicles that are over 100k, I always add a bottle of Lucas trans stabilizer and it helps a lot. It's as thick as molasses but works great.

Yeah not too bad but I'm still going to leave new/refurbished as a last resort lol. When the vehicle is only worth 4-5k it's hard to justify that kind of money when there are potentially good used units on ol'ebay
