Noticed yesterday when changing from 2nd to 3rd theres a slight wer from the auto box?
Doesnt do it when in command shift. Any ideas guys?
Just had a new turbo fitted and has only started since then?
Cheers

Graham. They all do it! Yes, there is a "wer" or "sigh" from the auto box during gear change in the lower gears. Maybe you have not noticed it before. If the sound becomes prolonged (i.e. throughout the gear) as it did with mine, I found a ATF fluid change fixed it.

Bit of an update seems to be slipping on 1st gear change from stand still?
I beleave the freelander sets off in 2nd whem in auto ?
This reminds me of the wheeler dealer episode with the boxster. As it doesnt do it when in command shift.
Im thinking maybe a fluid change as its now covered 76000 .
Any input would be greatly appreciated

Yes, moves away in 2nd normally. You can select 1st manually of course, then return to Auto before you pull away. Mine is quiet in Command shift too. Also, I changed the ATF at about 76k. Did not eliminate all noises but cured the main problem and gave peace of mind. I brought it to the attention of my dealer (Duckworths) & they couldn't fault it.

Im leaning to atf change as it also seems to change up and down when it feels lile it. Not willy nilly but sometimes it feels it cant make up its mind which gear it wants.  Back in black !!

I did mine here: "Auto Gearbox Oil Change MY07-12"

Quick update the sound im getting is more like a chattering as if gears arnt disengaging quick enough wjen changing.
Only does it at low speed and low revs?
Any ideas ?
Still thinking ATF change?

I don't think an ATF change can do it any harm, although it will set you back £100 for enough ATF for a chance to do any good. I have known other boxes to show significant improvement after a change of fluids. Certainly mine has improved. Have you had it checked by a specialist or reliable dealer? If not, it may be worth your while.

@Grahamv6 - could you update on this? I've think I've got the same issue so it would be good to hear more about yours/how you resolved.
