WILL THIS £20 LUBE FIX MY £650 L322 RANGE ROVER?

After doing a gearbox service, my £650 L322 Range Rover is still having issues. So here it goes, will a £20 tube of "Dr. Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx" sort my gearbox out? I also find more issues that could be causing the problem.
Here's some of the tools I used:
Lubegard 19610 Dr. Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx 2 Ounce: amzn.to/3XOgz4X
3L Vacuum Pump Tool: amzn.to/3TIXoYX
Torx & Hex Set: amzn.to/4gA7XYh
Fuchs Titan ATF 4000 High Performance Automatic Transmission Fluid 5 Litres 5L (Please check this is the right fluid, lots of debate out there) (Not affiliate): www.ebay.co.uk...

Hi Jay, I think the comment on the propshaft joint is the middle bearing. It's behind the heat shield. It's a bearing in a rubber mounted carrier. The rubber disintegrates and allows the propshaft to wobble around in the carrier. It's the same on Discovery 3 and 4. As far as gearbox oil change on these the symptoms are usually that the revs fluctuate and it feels like it's slipping. A full gearbox flush is the way to go when that happens. There's about 13 litres of oil and a service like you did only replaces about 4 litres at best. Hope that helps.

[@JAYPCARS]

I will take a look next time I’m under it, thanks for the info! If it is that at least it’s something else to give a go 💪🏻 No rev fluctuation and haven’t noticed any slipping as far as I’m aware. Ok I’ve done it twice over now so maybe 8 at best 😂

I tried the same stuff in my old 200k V70 T5 that shuddered and suffered with hilariously hesistant changes. It transformed the autobox instantly & the shuddering stopped and changes were imiroved tremendously after a good run. It did deteriorate again after a few months. But, tbh, it had 220k on the clock, the car was very tired & the box was utterly knackered.

[@JAYPCARS]

Wow good to know it works! Difficult for me to know whether it’s the new fluid or the additive, but overall feels nicer to change and pretty smooth. Love a V70! At least you got a few months out of it, for £20 can’t complain!

Great channel 😂😂😂😂 much better than that PRxxK mat Armstrong 😂😂😂😂 keep up the good work mate

[@JAYPCARS]

Appreciate it 💪🏻

[@HarryT5Project]

Got this exact problem on my Audi Q5 at the moment… asked about on the forums and people think it’s the drive shaft coupling/prop shaft bearing or CV joints worn. Other comments said about engine mounts

[@JAYPCARS]

There’s been a few saying about prop shaft, so that’ll be my next job to look at! Thanks for sharing 😃

[@johnhamblin975]

Hi I rebuilt these transmission. A shudder after 40mph is mostly all the time torque converter lockup clutch badly worn. The long you drive or use the car with this fault it will eventually damage transmission oil pump . A central propshaft bearing issue usually shudder much earlier than 40mph . The difference between the two . Is almost spot on torque converter lock up at 40 mph .

[@JAYPCARS]

Thanks for the info! How hard is it to drop the gearbox and fix the TC? My feeling is that it’s the TC. Usually at 50mph this happens but only in 5th.

[@johnhamblin975]

We've been reconditioned these transmission for years now . Remove from vehicle take me about 3 hours out of all the other transmission we do this is easier to move . A transmission Jack is best . For just replacing torque converter you can usually remove both gearbox and transfer together . Just be very careful when fitting replacement . Fit into gearbox first makes sure to turn it around to fully seat it . Then fit complete unit back to car . There are 3 torque converter bolts 17mm you take them out to remove refit when fitting though a Access hole just under turbocharger tin plate . Never fit torque converter to flywheel first . This will damage pump . J

[@JAYPCARS]

Perfect, thanks John! Will do some more research and it may well be a DIY job!

[@JohnSmith-yp3tq]

Search L322 propshaft bearing replacement. I've done it on my Discovery it's a job to do it but cheaper than a propshaft if you persevere 😊

[@JAYPCARS]

Will do 👍🏻 Thanks John!

[@andrehurley3404]

Torque converter lock up clutch slipping causing a shudder. Sometimes on a worn out transmission actually gets worse with new oil as the worn out components don’t allow the TCM to re-adapt

[@JAYPCARS]

That’s a good shout, I thought it felt worse the first time around. Now it’s not that bad but still feels off and has 5th shudder, just not quite as bad.

[@andrehurley3404]

@@JAYPCARS the shudder fix will definitely give some improvement but won’t cure the issue if it’s too far gone. I work for Bristol Transmissions. Pop it down for a road test and I’ll be able to tell you for sure if it’s a converter issue 👍🏼

[@JAYPCARS]

I’m in Cornwall so quite a way unfortunately!

[@lioneldickerson1550]

You need to sort out the steering and suspension joints, this is a death trap waiting to happen. Great video on a positive note though.

[@JAYPCARS]

Yes the bushes are totally shot so have been ordered, will install them on the next instalment. Thanks for watching!

[@lemmykilmister450]

Been there, don't bother 😢 when these boxes are gone, they're not coming back short of ££££

[@JAYPCARS]

I don’t want to give it up 😪

[@noelcahill6707]

When i say the headline i was thinking did p diddy buy a l322

[@JAYPCARS]

Damn no chill

[@Craig-c5e]

That was a nice offer for a free gearbox! But tbh your gearbox will be fine it’s the torque converters that fail! It’s not worth fitting a second hand torque converter either it’s just a false economy as you don’t know how long that will last either! If the gearbox if being removed you have to fit a reconditioned torque converter which has better plates which should last another 200k miles!!

[@JAYPCARS]

It was wasn’t it! Any idea how hard the torque converter fitting is?

[@Craig-c5e]

@@JAYPCARS I have done 2 now with my friend on a ramp, not too bad a job tbh. No specialist tools needed.

[@JAYPCARS]

Good to know 👍🏻

[@212MPH]

You would feel those worn front bushes through the steering and brakes rather than the gearbox.

[@JAYPCARS]

Yes you’re right, nothing through brakes at the moment but steering can be an issue and seems to be getting worse.

[@212MPH]

@@JAYPCARS it could also be something out of balance or those tyres.

[@JAYPCARS]

After doing the bushes I’ll get the tyres on, balanced and tracked and see how it all is. Currently looking at tyres and trying to work out which are best 🙏🏻

[@truckerphil316]

Ya i am very interested in these videos as i really want a l322 but so torn sell my reliable 2014 sport or buy the car i chickened out of buying as i thought it was to bigger a car for just me a l405

[@JAYPCARS]

They can be pretty cheap so you could always buy a cheap L322, keep your current car and see how you get on with it? You’ll know whether it’s worth going for the L322 then 😄

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

I have a good used gearbox out of an L322 of the same year and model as yours but with very low mileage you can have if you want to collect it from Gloucestershire?

[@JAYPCARS]

Wow that’s quite the offer! Appreciate it, it would certainly come in handy with the way mine is looking. If you could message me on instagram @jaypcars so we could chat that would be great 😄

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

@JAYPCARS You will have to bear with me as I'm not techno savvy! I will download Instagram and make an account then get in touch towards the weekend as I'm really busy weekdays! If that's ok? Regards, John 👍
