Landrover auto box problem.

[TomO]

Landrover 4 speed zf auto box that wont go into 4th. Fine changing through the others just no 4th. Changed the oil and trans filter then took it for a run and it was fine with all gears. Out this morning and went fine till it got warm then no 4th again... Any one any ideas or is it a new box?

If it's in what i think it is i would highly recommend the manual version

Do these not use engine load to shift into 4th?

Air Flow Sensor or TPS?

Check the kickdown cable isn't stuck.

Kick down cable is free also tried with it off and no difference.

Maybe check the oil level again. I know on an Audi I had you had to run the gearbox in all gears then re check the oil level.

The engine should be running also.
