Hey all.
'07 TTG with 220km on it now and suffered terminal lack of forward motion. Gear selector display flashing and trans 'flaring' . Turned it off and as I was flat out at the time , chucked it under a cover in the back paddock.
Now, 6 months later, I have just pulled the pan and mech unit, old oil was still red, not milkshaked but did smell burnt. Fitted new bridge seal and tube seals and about 6 litres of Penrite Semi-syn so far. Still had flashing gear selector. OBD scan said 'reverse gear incorrect ratio' when trying it for first time. Reset and no more flashing gear selector but still seems not right. Oil level checked after warm up and topped up twice. I did leave it without pan on for a week on the hoist when something else came up so I guess the convertor may have lost some juice. Still not driving as expected. I read somewhere about shaft/pump seal / incorrect gear ratio being a common fault so thought I'd ask around.
Happy to strip it down, repack/ rebuild as necessary, have a hoist and it is not a daily. Going to be mostly the trailer hauler from now on for son's rally car.
Where's good for parts? Got the seals from Auto tranz diff parts at Pooraka.
There was a bit of glitter in the pan but not an alarming amount I'd have thought.
Happy to hear others thoughts? Got good advice from here when I had suspension issues a few years ago. I did try reading a few dozen pages on here with regards ZF. Found a helpful stripdown thread on a Range Rover site but UK based.
