Land Rover Discovery Transmission

I have used Auto-RX in my 02 Land Rover and it's worked wonders to stop the oil leaks.  I am now having some weeping from the transmission and the LR guys think it's the front seal of the tranny.  Do you think ARX will help with this?  Have 64K on the Odometer.  Only drawback is no dipstick but an inspection bolt at the top of the pan to check and add fluid.  Will have to suction out 6 oz to put in the ARX.

Add the 6 ounces to your existing transmission fluid, no need to drain out anything. Auto-Rx is not solvent or petroleum based and overfilling is not a problem (doubtful you could overfill as transmission cases notoriously larger than spec) please click on Application for Transmissions (www.auto-rx.com) and review.

ditto on what Frank said. 6 oz is not going to overfill your trans. I service BMW automatics with the same setup-no dipstick, just a fill plug. You can run the vehicle up on only one ramp on the same side of the vehicle as the fill plug and then push 6 oz in that way with the vehicle tilted or just drain a tad out if you have a drain plug in the pan. I find automatic gearboxes filled from new way higher than I could possibly refill the unit. They fill them through the vent tube port at the transmission manufacturer, I'm told. Apparently it is not an issue to be slightly overfilled.

Hopefully the ARX will help some with the oil seepage. That seems way too soon in the life of the tranny to have that issue. Be sure to do a complete fluid change afterwards by doing some type of flush (cooler line) and filter change, pulling the pan, etc.  This will assure you get the most contaminants out  and give best results.
