At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed a Transmission Oil Change for a Range Rover HST in Dubai. During the service, our technicians discovered several underlying issues that could have impacted the vehicle’s transmission performance. Here are the problems we identified and the solutions we provided:
Issues Identified During the Range Rover HST Transmission Oil Change
- Contaminated Transmission Fluid
The transmission fluid was heavily contaminated with debris and metal particles, likely from wear and tear on the internal components, which could affect the smooth operation of the transmission.
Solution:
We performed a complete transmission fluid flush, removing all contaminants and refilled the system with fresh, high-quality transmission fluid, ensuring smooth shifting and proper lubrication of the internal parts. - Low Transmission Fluid Levels
The vehicle had low transmission fluid levels, which can cause the transmission to overheat, leading to poor performance and potentially severe damage.
Solution:
We topped up the transmission fluid to the correct level, ensuring proper fluid circulation throughout the transmission system and preventing overheating. - Worn Transmission Filter
The transmission filter was found to be clogged, preventing the proper flow of fluid and allowing contaminants to enter the transmission, which can lead to internal damage.
Solution:
We replaced the old, clogged transmission filter with a new one, ensuring proper fluid flow and protecting the transmission from contaminants, which promotes longevity and reliable performance. - Leaking Transmission Seals
We identified a few worn transmission seals that were leaking fluid, which could lead to fluid loss and further transmission issues over time.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged seals, preventing fluid leaks and ensuring the transmission system remained sealed and properly lubricated for optimal performance. - Slipping Gears Due to Fluid Issues
The vehicle was experiencing slight gear slippage, which can be a result of low or old, degraded transmission fluid not providing sufficient pressure to the components.
Solution:
After changing the transmission fluid and ensuring the correct fluid levels, the slipping issue was resolved, and the transmission now shifts smoothly without any hesitation.
