Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 2013 LR2 automatic. The rear main oil seal is leaking & I need to pull the gearbox to replace it.
I have a feeling the PCV unit is blocked, and therefore building up pressure inside the engine, causing the oil to push past the seal.
What is your opinion / experience in this regard?

Quick question:
I saw a video of removing the gearbox. I assume I must remove the sub-frame. Does the sub-frame support the engine? Will I therefore need to support the engine with an overhead block & tackle?

Also, in the video, the guy removed the front bumper & headlights. Surely I don't have to do that as well?

Do I need to drain the gearbox oil (I assume the oil will run out once the propshafts have been removed).
But is it necessary to drain the Haldex (Transfer) box as well?

I assume the Transfer box will take standard gear oil, while the gearbox will take ATF?

Thanks for any tips and ideas from your side.

Much appreciate it. Richard

"I assume the Transfer box will take standard gear oil, while the gearbox will take ATF? "

The autobox , PTU (transfer box), haldex and rear diff all take different oils.

Your user manual indicates which spec is required (your autobox will have the later Aisin oil spec like mine.

Autobox : ATF Nippon AW-1 , T-WS (JWS-3324), the earlier autobox had a different JWS spec)

PTU: Castrol BOT 118/95+ 75W90, or equivalent

Rear Diff : Castrol EPX 80W90 GL5 or equivalent Jules
