Land Rover Repair: 1999 Range Rover 4.6 Transmission, mass airflow sensor, trans fluid
QuestionMy truck has lost some power. While driving the engine revs high but I am not really moving fast. Then it will jump in and catch up. Sometimes when I reverse the vehicle is slow to reverse also. A humming sound is also present off and on. No gearbox faults though took it to the dealer and was told that I need to replace the mass airflow sensor to correct it. And the Trans fluid and filter was changed recently. Just wanted a second opinion doesnt it sound like the transmission needs to be replaced?
AnswerI have to assume that the dealer said it needs an air mass meter because it flagged the relevant trouble codes. You may as well address this known problem first. I don't think your symptoms are related to this, however.
Most transmission faults would flag a code. I would not immediately assume that you need a new transmission, especially without codes. Perhaps you have a faulty filter or your fluid levels are low. I can't really diagnose it without codes and without being able to test drive the vehicle to really see what you are talking about.
