Transmission Fluid Level Check: Adjustment

WARNING: Observe due care when draining, as the fluid can be very hot.
WARNING: Observe due care when working near a hot exhaust system.
NOTE: Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.
    NOTE: Use transmission fluid meeting Land Rover specification.
  1. If the transmission fluid does not come out of the transmission fluid fill plug hole the transmission fluid level is insufficient. If this is the case add the transmission fluid in 0.5 liter units into the transmission fluid fill plug hole until fluid comes out.

    2. NOTE: Make sure the transmission fluid temperature does not exceed 50 °C (122 °F). If the transmission fluid temperature does exceed 50 °C (122 °F) stop the transmission fluid level check and allow the transmission fluid to cool until the temperature is below 30 °C (86 °F). Allow the transmission fluid to drain from the transmission
