95 Discovery Transmission and Transfer case

[Lino]

Hi,

I have a 95 with about 130 000 KM. I rescently spent 4000$ ( fuel pump, starter, coil springs shocks, hood lock, front head lights, brake pads, etc..) after i neglected the truck for a year or two. I know i am a very bad man, but i was busy.
My question is: what life should i expect with regular oil changes out of the engine, gear box(ZF) and the transfer case. I want to get an idea of the future costs.
By the way I went for the recall on the gas tank and they repalced it along with the gas pump. Finally a free bee.

Thanks
Lino

I've got 250,000+km on my 95 and she's still going strong. Had a tick/tap for a few months last summer but lucas and regular oil changes have seemed to stop that.

Engine, auto and T-case all are very durable if kept topped up and fluids changed regularly.

I would not expect failure anytime soon. Just be vigilant for t-case leaks especially and check level as regularly as possible [I check mine every 3k miles].

60,000 miles / 94,000 kilometers. No engine or gearbox issues yet. I keep fluids topped off. Change the oil frequently 3 months/3000 miles whichever is sooner and always drain the gearbox sump and refill with fresh fluid when changing the engine oil.

'95 D1, 202,000 miles /320,000 km on original drivetrain. Nothing major except the usual leaks from the engine and xfer box.

I'd expect the transmission and transfercase to outlive the engine if all are maintained equally.

204K on my '95 Disco. Recently thought I needed a new ******, but thankfully, it was a loose kickdown cable-whew!
