Hi to all - I am new to the forum and wonder if any of you could help.
I have a Range Rover Sport 2005 HSE. I have a judder when accelerating, especially uphill and reading through the forum people have had a mega gearbox flush that has solved the problem. Any thoughts please. Mileage is 108,000 approx and has never had a gearbox flush as far as I know.

A gearbox oil change (megaflush) can temporarily fix a judder but sometimes you'll need to change the torque converter for a perminant fix.

hi thanks for reply would it be best to change the torque converter and give the gearbox flush a miss any idea cost to do this thanks for your help

The coat of a new torque converter from Vanmatic is about £450 inc vat. It's about 8 -10 hours labour to fit it. You'd fill the transmission with new oil at the same time. Total cost about £1000

hey thanks for that i will take a look into it a bit deeper

Why not try a couple of tubes of this first?

hey hi joe that looks good have you had the problem aswell and did it work how many tubes will it take and wear does it go ha ha cheers

No not had the problem however had a recent gearbox service and saw Disco Mikey and some other guys recomend to put this in as part of the gearbox service. I think they use it when they do a mega flush which I think is about £350.

Might work might not but worth a try. Depends how severe your shuddering is I supose.

Aparently easiest way to put it in is when gearbox is warm and up to temp. Running? Not sure.

Bodsy or Disco Mikey are the autobox experts on here. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST.

cheers for that joe the judder is not to bad and only happens now and then just trying to sort out a few snags how do you find the hst version thanks Hamner

If its only mild shudder a couple of tubes of that might help. A gearbox flush from Bodsy will deffinately help.
Its great thanks, effectively just a HSE with a sunroof and Logic 7 I think I much proffer the looks of the HST. My sort of style. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST.

i have tried that in my gearbox and it did stop judder for a while but its not a permanent fix if gearbox has started to go wrong, do you have any warning lights like an f on dash

If you have a judder, an additive will mask the issues, but it's time to start saving for a gearbox rebuild...

These gearboxes should be flushed between 50-75k miles, depending on use. Any longer, and you will start causing irreparable damage to the box...

Disco Mikey,

My autobox had new oild and the filter I believe it is. Is that enough? It was done within the last 6 months at a garage. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST.

I would add, If you are not able to get it flushed, then you should at least change the gearbox oil a few times. e.g. Make the gearbox oil change part of your annual service In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
