They're often easy to notice. 1988 Land Rover Range Rover transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Land Rover Range Rover transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Range Rover isn’t working at all.

1988 Land Rover Range Rover Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Land Rover? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Land Rover tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Range Rover’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Range Rover's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Land Rover Range Rover transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Land Rover. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Land Rover Range Rover? Yes. Land Rover Range Rover transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Land Rover Range Rover transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Range Rover transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Range Rover with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Range Rover to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
