·Hey everyone, I'm in the process of acquiring parts to replace all of the fluids in my recently acquired 2007 Range Rover Sport supercharged w/100,500 miles.
I'm going to be doing the engine oil (due in 800 miles), flushing/replacing the front/rear diff, transfer case, transmission, Dynamic Response system, and also the supercharger oil.
I found this kit for the transmission and from what I can see it appears to everything you could need to complete the job for $290 shipped:
http://www.thectsc.com/products/oil...dai-jaguar-land-rover-rolls-royce-186-61.html
My dealer quoted me $281 for the pan w/integrated filter, $25 for the gasket and o-ring, and $170 for the fluid = $470. With labor I would be over $1100 to have them complete the job.
Now, I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to tackle the transmission pan replacement myself. I have only basic tools and no access to a lift, so there's a good chance I find an Indy to do the job for me. I'm proficient at jobs such as brake replacement, oil changes, spark plugs, standard strut replacements (haven't ever done air suspension stuff before), so I'm still on the fence whether or not I want to tackle this myself.
CarX (a shop that's worked on my previous BMWs) can do the labor for approximately $350 if I bring in my own parts.
Dealer: $1100
DIY cost of parts: $290
Indy shop: $640 with supplied parts
So with all that mumbo jumbo, my questions are whether or not everything appears to be be good in the link I provided above for the transmission pan/fluid, and whether or not you believe it's a viable DIY project for someone without a lift and moderate wrenching ability. If not, would you trust an Indy shop to do it for you knowing how expensive these transmissions can be to replace?
