Dave-Mid Wales Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The ZF auto gearbox in my 1998 300TDi Disco (mileage 72K) has suddenly decided to go on a go slow when the tranny oil's cold. It'll now only select 1st in D and reverse until the oil's warmed up, then all returns to normal. I'm initially going to change the oil & filter and also replace the gearbox governor and O rings in the hope that this'll cure the problem. I have access to a pit and have no problem with changing the oil and filter but I've not done the rest before and would like some advice please. 1. How difficult is it to remove/ replace the transfer box on this gearbox? Are there any particular issues etc? 2. Are there any particular things to note when replacing the governor itself? 3. Am I right in assuming that the governor and O rings will be main stealer order parts only? Any idea as to cost? Any advice/ comments will be gratefully received! Thanks.
