Worn transmission fluid leads to judder, noise and a deterioration in gear change quality. ZF recommends oil and filter changes after 50,000 to 75,000 miles on all 5, 6 & 8-speed automatic gearboxes, to ensure optimum performance.
These are improved and easy change filter conversion kits for all vehicles using the ZF 6HP26 automatic transmission - LR3, LR4, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Full Size L322 models. The standard fluid and filter change process from Land Rover is a very lengthy process. The sump and filter are normally one piece and fitting involves jacking the engine up and unbolting the mounts, plus the removal of the exhaust. The fitting of this kit is far easier. Once the fluid has been drained from the transmission, simply remove the bolts from the old unit and cut the old plastic sumps filter tube with a hacksaw. Slide the old sump out and remove the other end of the sawn-off filter tube. The new separate filter can then be fitted and the new sump pan slides into place and is bolted up with the new gasket supplied.
IMPORTANT: Before installing bolts, the bolt holes must be cleaned using an M6 tap to remove any corrosion or debris and to ensure new bolts get proper thread engagement.
Once secure, the transmission can be filled as per manufacturer’s instructions. The new sump pan also has the added benefit that it is manufactured in durable steel rather than the plastic of the original OE pan.
Additional kits available with choice of a quality OEM filter and all the transmission fluid you need for a complete service replacement - see alternative items.

Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Technician, take you step-by-step in the removal and installation of the Transmission Filter and Pan Conversion Kit on a 2005-2009 LR3. Using kit # ATFCK, this is an easy change filter conversion kit for all Rovers using ZF 6HP Automatic Transmission. This kit is for the LR3, LR4, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover L322 models (see fitment years.) Installing the original factory filter change and pan kit is a very lengthy process. The original sump and filter are normally one piece and fitting involves jacking the engine up and unbolting the mounts, plus, the removal of the exhaust. These new kits have a two-part filter and pan design, which makes installation much easier. Doug will also address replacement of the Automatic Transmission Valve Body Sleeve part number TZV500010G which has a tendency to leak. It is recommended that this sleeve be replaced while you have the pan down. This service is recommended to be performed every 50,000 to 70,000 miles to ensure optimum performance.
