LR3 / Disco 3 TRANSMISSION REMOVAL *BODY ON* Dads disco repairs part 1

part 1 of Lr3 transmission removal body on * torque converter replacement
welcome to part one of getting dads 2009 discovery 3 back up to scratch
not only are we doing the torque converter and mechatronic sleeves on the transmission
We also removed both sections of the sump to replace the gaskets, replaced the front lower control arm bushes and removed plus re-installed the front differential during the process

Great work …. I had one of those bloody cars …… now I have a car from 2006 that’s not a Landrover and no signs of needing repair . Because it’s not a Landrover . But I like your great work you’re a terrific bunch of mechanics. It ain’t easy working on those things .

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

I'm a toyota boy now again and it feels great haha

[@barnesy8523]

Love your work mate, really well explained. Thanks for that.

[@Krayziekeegs]

Nice work, I am thinking of this task myself, and your video has given me some hope to do this without a hoist

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Its definitely do able just takes alot longer on the floor, good luck with it I need to bring out part 2 for you haven't even started editing it yet haha 🤣

[@Starkers851]

Epic, pleasure meeting you and your partner tonight mate. 🤙

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Likewise mate need to get old mate to tee up a BBQ so 🤣we can talk 40 series

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Upper oil pan comes out without removing the diff. Just remove the bolts and let it drop a bit. I assume you also replace your rear crankshaft seal which means you need a new trigger wheel and the install tool. In our recent build of the 3.0 L you can see that my tool was made wrong. I also showed the dim how far the trigger wheel gets pushed on. Christian

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Unbelievable how little rust this car has. Nice video ! Christian

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Christian I ended up pulling the diff as it only took an hour to do so , we didn't do the rear main as dad decided not since it wasn't apart of the top part of the sump, I've bought the tool for the crank sensor ring when doing my engine rebuild is it the same tool for the 3ltr? Definitely lucky over here not having to deal with the rust 🤣

[@anthonyvanosta5198]

You are seriously making me think I should do this myself, cant justify spending 6k or more to get the shop to do it. I have a D4 zf6hp26 with a leaky transmission pump & making a high pitched noise... need to get it out to do a DIY rebuild but im most concerned about getting the box out in the shed!

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

🤣 honestly it's not the absolute worst job in the world if you take your time Definetly get a trans jack* hire one* though worth there wait in gold

[@simon-mouse8739]

Nice work Ryan and Dad😊I am literally just reinstalling my engine and gear box and one issue I had was how far the torque converter actually sits back into the bell housing. Having watched videos on this it is a three part process and you can feel each stage as it slides into place but once home, the front flange of the flex plate sits ever so slightly just proud of the bell housing mounting face which was a surprise when you would assume it drops back further. I don't know if you took note of that before you pulled the TC out? You probably know that anyway 👍looking forward to part 2😁👍as an aside is your garage floor tiled? I was going to do that to mine but I was worried about jack stands etc breaking or cracking them.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Simon not tiled just an epoxy floor coating ontop on the concrete it's looking a but worse for wear after the last 2 gearbox jobs and this 40 series build now haha How far from being finished is your disco now

[@simon-mouse8739]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery I need to have it all finished in about 4 weeks as I have a trip planned 😱😁

[@user-su2zo8bj4h]

Hey mate, watched many of you videos and they are really good and helpful. Watching this one on the trans removal you mentioned taking the TC to canning vale - assuming that's WA - what is the gearbox shop? I am looking to get my transfer case rebuilt as the chain is slack. Can't find many places too keen to do it Cheers, Mark

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Mark give me a few days will need to go through receipts to get the name Unsure if they will do transfer cases or not possibly though. Did you have no luck finding one for a manual ?

[@user-su2zo8bj4h]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery That would be amazing if you can find the name and I can call them. I have the 4L petrol Auto and I get a thud on acceleration and deceleration and Local shop pointed to the transfer case chain needing to be replaced. I am happy to drop the TC but don't fancy splitting it and rebuilding.

Great work! Have subscribed!

[@user-dt2up9wo4u]

The engine oil sump on that is it easy to remove mine needs a new gasket

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

@user-dt2up9wo4u correct the actual sump is a 10minute job the 2nd part of the sump the part that bolts to the trans, block and oil pump is definetly alot harder to pull. Unfortunately for us that's what was leaking

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

@user-dt2up9wo4u the black sump pan you can remove very easily if that's all that's leaking but if it's the main part as described above then it's a right pain if your doing it in the car front diff needs to be removed

[@jamiepome]

Legend!

[@philipwayne6149]

Hi mate, looking forward to part 2 as my tranny needs the same treatment. Can you do a video about the mechatronics stuff as well? Are you able to detail the cost? Was thinking of throwing in a low kms box from an E60 BMW since they had the same box. Cool that you and LR Time help each other out, too.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Morning Phil Sorry about to long waits in between videos I'm halfway through part 2 now The cost was $1050 for torque converter $250 for mechatronics sleeve aswell as clutch pack seals $300 for genuine lifeguard 6 oil * we bought a 20ltr so it worked out to be $30 a litre* otherwise in the 1 litre bottles your looking at $60 a litre And we used just under 10 litres

[@sinasamar2566]

Hi buddy good vedio I have a question, is the transfer of the gear box same as for the Manuel gearbox as I can see yours is automatic gear box. Mine the landrover disco 3 is Manuel please advice thanks

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey sina I think they're is a difference between the manual and auto trasnfer case but unsure what I could be wrong though I'd be calling a independent landriver specialist or a wreckers and asking them

[@sinasamar2566]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery thanks buddy the transfer has 2 drove shaft fitted to it, the rear (long one) and the front (short one) .does it Have to be different as it controls 4 wheel issues on both manuel G/box or auto g/ box. Let me know what the dealer says,

[@sinasamar2566]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery and ask him if both the auto and Manuel transfer have a motor, as the auto g/box has a motor, if not TV Ed NBA photo of the Manuel g/box transfet would help

[@HiddeninplainsightEA]

How much to drop the box in mine? Same exact problem 2006 2.7tdv6 ZF 6HP26, 239,000k 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Haha hey dude pretty tied up for a fair while 🤣 Torque converter is $1100 zf oil is like $400 filter and seal kits like another $200 and labour would set you back around 2-2500 A trans shop would probably end up being cheaper then me as they have a hoist to do it on so would do it in half the time

[@andrewcollins867]

Can you get to the turbot replace from there or is it still easier to body off mate ?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Andrew you can get to the turbo easy with the trans out I've also got a video of me replacing the turbo with the body engine and gearbox still in sitchu on in my play list

I watched that one when you did it mate looked a bugger of a job

[@Shanes_Shed]

I've never been able to remove my starter that easily😡

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

4th landy I've done it on now worked it out with mine the first time after alot of swearing and an hour of struggling haha Trick is to turn starter 10 degrees counter clockwise and then get the positive terminal to fit into the recess of the body mount That gives you enough clearance to slide it out gear drive first

[@Shanes_Shed]

@OUTBACK Discovery I've only had to do it twice, the first time I was also fucking about for an hour or so before it somehow lined up and just fell out before I released how I had done it. So the second time I was struggling again.

[@jamieboydmusic6956]

Yes It is an absolute mongrel. It’s the little corner space 10 degree trick from your earlier videos that helped me. You think it’s not going to come out then you rotate it and bam. Getting it back on can be just as hard! Nearly as stressful as the wheel arch heat shields.

[@mattwoodgate3507]

why take the body off ??? I've never met anybody who would go that way for a transmission removal. next you going to tell me body comes of for a turbo replacement

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey matt Plenty of shops qouted removing the body for a turbo replacement when i rung around i done mine with body on so agree with you in regards to not needing the body off Multiple people think the body needs to come off for trans removal *not shops or mechanics just people* hence my body on comment in the description helps people click on the video to get views Cheers for you comment 🍻
