Hi all, my 2005 LR3 has had periodic shifting issues and a slow transmission leak. It will no longer drive forward or in reverse.

I’ve pulled the following values from my IID tool and was hoping someone could help diagnose. I have the parts I hand to replace the pan / filter / solenoids and am hoping this will be enough to solve my issue.

Specifically, the inactive state of the solenoids while in drive seem a bit strange, along with the inconsistent voltages going to each.

Thanks in advance.

 

First question is have you made sure the fluid level just hasn't dropped to low

Also is the fluid leak at the plug

 

Thanks for the quick reply - I put about 1.5 quarts of ZF in when it was running before it started to overflow (but not necessarily up to temp). Maybe worth trying one more time after the engine has ran for longer?

fluid leak doesn’t look to be at the plug.

Also, for anyone who may be looking to fill the transmission in the future and looking for a good pump, I had a good experience with this:

Lumax LX-1341 Multi-Purpose Oil Pump Suitable for Precise Dispensing of Fluids in Tough-to-Reach Places in Tools, Equipment, Machinery and Vehicles. 1 Qt. (1 L) Capacity Bottle.

 

That pump looks cool. I bought a transfer pump, worked well but it was messy since you use the original bottles and stick the hose inside, which always flys out.

To clarify, but plug I think Army means the electrical plug, the harness connection for the transmission. Rearward, passenger side. Notorious for leaks and should be replaces with the updated version when doing the pan.

 

Butt plug?
