Discovery Sport transmission questions
Do Land Rover automatic gearboxes need fluid changes?
Some automatic gearboxes were described as filled for life, but many transmission specialists recommend changing the fluid and filter, particularly on vehicles that tow, off-road or operate in heat. Use only the fluid specified for your gearbox.
What does a transfer case do?
It splits drive between the front and rear axles. On models with a two-speed transfer case, it also provides a low-range gear set for steep terrain, towing boats up slipways and slow technical driving.
