I have a 2005 Land Rover LR3 that is having transmission problems. It still runs and drives great but the check engine light is indicating a transmission problem and it does seem to slip in 2nd gear, even though the mechanic indicated gear 3 and 4. I have visited with a few mechanics and they all say that for this type of vehicle that a new transmission has to be put in, which is $6k, and that it cannot be rebuilt. Am I getting the correct information? It really doesn't make sense for us to spend this much in an older vehicle with 141k miles. Thanks in advance for your help!
