The timing chain tensioners

It is amazing how much quieter these are after the service has been done.

Not really much difference on cold starts. My noise was mostly when it warmed up/warm starts

@@EtowahValleyRovers I agree the weird noises I heard were when the engine was warm. I was more pointing out how much quieter mine now is after having the work done.

How many miles? Did you have a check engine light for the cams? My 2010 is quiet on cold start up, but after it warms up and I turn it off and start it again, I can hear a similar noise. I would have thought cold starts would be worst for the defection timing chain guides.

@@warriorsf911no check engine lights, only was noisy when the engine was warm. I believe warm start is worse for the timing chain noise because when warm your engine oil is thinned out reducing the oil pressure, but I could be wrong.

Valve body was changed

I never owned this one, was looking at buying it and the deal didn’t work out. But I’m pretty sure the engine was dead on this one and was either replaced or scrapped. Good luck with your issue.

@@EtowahValleyRovers can those low compression engines be fixed?

That's all we got here lol

Is the converter still attached to the engine or the transmission? It should be easy to remove from the transmission with little resistance.

It seems to be somewhat common problem on these. With the right tools I’d say you can do it. I was originally going to replace clutches and seals on my original unit but ended up with a better deal on a used unit. Good luck with it.

Yes, it should have the same transmission as the one in this video. Drain fluid, replace the pan, and refill with the engine running. Once the fluid is up to 40 degrees Celsius and is dripping out of the fill plug at one drop a second it is full.

@@EtowahValleyRovers thanks for the info

Hey I’m not really familiar with that engine as we didn’t get the diesel models in the US, but it sounds like transmission fluid got into your cooling system and might’ve damaged your engine. If that’s the case your engine might be irreparable and your transmission may be damaged too. Good luck with diagnosing it.

Sounds like a big project. I would suggest buying a programmer capable of programming the new drivetrain to the car. Also it may be cheaper to buy a complete car that is wrecked and swap everything over from that vehicle.

@@EtowahValleyRovers Thanks for the reply. Does the programmer need special tools as this might be a problem in little remote Zimbabwe Could you please explain last part about a wrecked car and swapping over as I don't understand what you mean Thank you so much🙏😎

⁠@@tindo9833some of the drivetrain components like the transmission have to be programmed to the car in order to work properly. You’ll need a specialized computer that will connect to the car and can code the necessary components. They sell the scan tools online in many places. For the second part of my original comment, look up the website Copart.com. On this website you can buy cars that have been wrecked in an accident for lower prices. It may be cheaper to buy a wrecked vehicle with a good engine and transmission and ship it to your country, then use the parts you need to rebuild the rover you’re looking at purchasing, then selling or scrapping the parts you don’t need. I could be wrong, but it’s something to consider.

2011

Liquimoly Toptec 1800. Was the cheapest for me to use and had great reviews.

No, this is just open headers

Nice, I wish that had been the case with mine. Just not as much room in there with the 5.0.

So if you reuse your original TCU then no programming is needed. You just have to pull the valve body out of the transmission and transfer the electronics from your original valve body to the new one, or just reuse the entire original valve body. Its pretty simple, you just have to be careful separating the electronics as the plastic of the electronic component can get brittle and break.

@@EtowahValleyRovers thanks so much. Wish I could hire you to do this. I just got quoted $2,400 just to remove the transmission and reinstall a used one

@@joelchevalier448sorry to hear that, good luck with it!

No, I removed mine but that wasn’t necessary

Yeah these things are tanks, it’s a shame how little it takes for insurance to total one of these out. Like you said, once you’ve done the critical things to the engine these are honestly super reliable. Just for whatever reason the transmissions seem to be a weak point. Shame about yours, but maybe you can get into another one soon they’re honestly getting dirt cheap for some of these.

I think it took me 2 or 3 days taking my time. Probably could've been done faster.

Full Time 4x4

How much did it cost you overall to rebuild?

@@IeuanBevan. I got my engine torn down and found my crank was trashed beyond repair. Block is still good. If crank wasn't destroyed I would've spent around 3 grand.

I use Coosa valley performance in Cartersville Georgia. Old school machine shop that does good work.

So yours has a zf 6hp-28 m shift. A lot of people think its the zf6hp-26 but that was only on 2006-2009

@Ross Norwood Ross thanks buddy I needed that info

Yeah good point I should've used them but can't do anything about it now. Just saying with the battery disconnected the air suspension system cannot release air from the system unless I went and poked a hole in one of the airbags.

To access the top bellhousing bolts I just angled the rear of the transmission down and lowered it slightly so I had access. The motor mounts flexed enough that I had access to them. I think you might could remove the intake and cowling and rear crossover pipe to access the top bolts but I cant guarantee that.

@@EtowahValleyRovers thanks.

@@derekkchung These rovers are tanks, I just bought a 05 with the BMW v8 for 400 bucks with 250k kms that won't move in drive, in reverse it will move if its rolling, I know nothing about them, maybe the damn thing is just low on trans fluid, I'll find out tomorrow

Thanks will!

@@EtowahValleyRovers noproblem you helped me change my gear box

I’ll probably make some more videos with it but there’s not too much more that I want to do to it. We’ll see what happens.

Thanks! Mine suffered from a failed stator bushing, resulting in low pressure in the transmission as the fluid heated up and thinned out. This vehicle was actually quoted for a transmission replacement as far back as 76k miles, and the previous owner changed the fluid and filter then got another 50k out of it before it finally wouldn’t stop going into limp mode. I think this one was unfortunately just an outlier and failed early.

Some advice..... Be sure to change your transmission oil every 35,000 miles and also replace ALL of the seals inside the transmission. Seal failure is one cause of transmission failure. Don't wait for signs to show before servicing it. Another cause of failure is fluid & overheating. Keep an eye on the oil cooler. If you do the proper maintenance you'll be fine.

I actually did not have to pull the starter, I just mistakenly thought I did. Torque converter bolts were accessed via driver's side access port. I ended up purchasing a parts car for $1000 rather than pay $500+ for a used transmission with higher mileage.

@@EtowahValleyRovers how did you spin the fly wheel to gain access to all of the bolts on the torque converter? did you have to use a pry bar and spin the flywheel or were you able to get a wrench on the crank?

@@ryanorr5755sorry just saw your reply, I just put a socket on the crank bolt and rotated the engine.

So mine has a 2.5 inch lift so I just set it to offroad height for the majority of the time. The only time I had to raise the vehicle by jack was when I was moving the transmission out from under the car. I ended up not using all of that fluid but don't remember exactly how many quarts I used. I unfortunately don't have any follow up videos as it was honestly a big pain to set up and record steps and that's kind of why the video ends quickly. As for the torque converter it just slides off of the transmission, no bolts or connections. As for reseating it you just rotate it until you find the groove and it will slide right in. It's hard to explain but it kind of makes a distinct noise when done correctly so you will know when it's properly seated. There's a number of other youtube videos describing torque converter install as its basically the same for all transmissions. As for adding the fluid to the transmission I bought a hand pump to pump the fluid back into the fill plug on the side of the transmission. You should download the workshop manual for your specific car as it will have the step by step instructions for your model year with pictures and diagrams to help guide you. Yeah 2002-2012 all share the same body, just have different fit and finishes. They look really similar but are very different. Good luck with yours.

Thanks. Task is a bit daunting but your video is very helpful.

@@jcamellion thanks. It wasn’t the most thorough but figured it could help someone get the gist of everything that needed doing.

It depends on what you do with your valve body. The transmission computer is built into the valve body so if you swap the valve body from your original transmission into your replacement transmission you won't have to do any programming. If you install a replacement transmission without swapping your valve body over you will have to have it programmed to your vehicle for it to work properly.

Sorry just saw this, you'll have to have it programmed to the vehicle if you didn't swap your original valve body to the new transmission.

We also have an 07 L322 and no I don't plan to swap the engine at this time because it runs great but I will be replacing the timing chain tensioners sooner or later.

@@EtowahValleyRovers nice! I’ll keep a look out for that video. It’s hard to find people still working on these now a days
