Some Land Rover LR4 owners report experiencing transmission leaks that necessitate filter, pan, and fluid replacement. Common signs of these leaks include the presence of reddish fluid under the vehicle, which may indicate worn seals, loose pan bolts, or a damaged transmission housing. To resolve the issue, owners often need to replace the transmission filter, pan, and fluid, potentially utilizing a conversion kit designed for their LR4 model. The installation process requires careful steps, including draining old fluid, removing the old pan, and ensuring the correct type of fluid is used, such as the recommended Land Rover part number TYK500050 or Shell ATF M1375.4. Some owners have discovered workarounds for removing the transmission pan that avoid the need to take out cumbersome components, which can simplify the process. After the replacement, it is crucial to monitor the transmission for any further leaks and to perform regular maintenance to prevent future issues.
