What are the symptoms of transmission problems in a Range Rover?

I’ve been driving my Range Rover for about a year, and have recently started having some troubles with stalling and accelerating. My friend told me it was likely a problem with my transmission, but I don’t want to bring it to the mechanic unless I really need to. What are the signs of transmission problems in a Range Rover?

Some of the most common signs of
Range Rover
transmission problems include:
  • Slow gear shifting and gear engagement
  • Grinding, banging, or knocking sounds
  • Illuminated engine warning light
  • Trouble accelerating in certain gears
  • Shuddering at 2000 rpm
  • Stalling in low or high gears
  • Difficulty changing gears when it’s cold
Keep in mind: When it comes to problems with your vehicle’s transmission, they should be taken seriously and repaired as soon as possible. Unfortunately, transmission repairs on a Range Rover won’t be cheap.
While the exact cost of a transmission repair or replacement can vary based on your Rover’s age and trim level, you can expect to spend anywhere between $5,000 and $8,000.
The high cost of transmission repairs is predominantly due to the transmission itself—buying replacement parts, whether they be for repairs or a brand-new transmission, will cost thousands of dollars.
On top of that, removing the old transmission and installing a new one are both complex and time-consuming processes, which further drive up the cost of labor.
