Auto Gearbox fluid Replacement

humphshumphs · 18th December 2018, 18:03

I was chatting with a local land rover specialist this afternoon as he has just purchased a Launch Cat-501S for doing gearbox fluid replacement on motors.

Has anyone had there gearbox fluid changed on a 75 or ZT with one of these?

Just asking as it says that it exchanges 99.9% of the fluid.... just wondering what are peoples thoughts.

No idea! I just do it the 'normal' way and never had any issues?

Seems to use the method often used in the US , connection to the oil cooler pipes and pumping new fluid through til clean ..

although i suspect this machine actually meaures it properly ?

Not sure where is connects, but it does seem a 'clever' bit of kit. Has a tank for clean fluid and one for dirty, and does its thing without human intervention apparently.

Might bite the bullet and have them change the fluid with it....

You can find odd videos on youtube, that give bit of a clue , but in other languages
