ZF Trouble Shooting Guide
JLR 13 38 10_2E
General Information
The ZF Trouble Shooting Guide (TSG) is a knowledge-based
system. It is designed to aid diagnosis of transmission-related
faults which have previously been encountered with ZF
products in Land Rover applications.
The guide is intended to cover 6 speed transmission vehicles,
which include the following;
L319 Discovery
L320 Range Rover Sport
L322 Range Rover
This file is intended as a supplement to the workshop manuals;
specifically to accompany the Description & Operation, and
Diagnosis and Testing sections.
It covers problems with both the transmissions themselves, and
vehicle-related problems.
It has been compiled using information learned from
investigations during assembly, field cases and at dealerships.
The guide is a supplement based on 'real time' field issues and
as such it will be updated on a regular basis.
