Automatic Gearbox Easy Change Kit with Metal Sump, Filter, Liqui Moly ATF and Wiring Sleeve for Range Rover Sport L320

The ZF 6HP26 6-speed automatic gearbox fitted to the Range Rover Sport L320 was originally described as “sealed for life”, however in real-world driving conditions the transmission fluid gradually degrades due to heat cycles and mileage.

Old or contaminated automatic transmission fluid can lead to torque converter judder, slipping between gears, delayed engagement and harsh shifting. Regular servicing helps maintain smooth gearbox operation and prolong the life of the transmission.

This comprehensive gearbox service kit includes a metal easy-change sump conversion, high quality Liqui Moly Top Tec 1800 automatic transmission fluid and a replacement gearbox wiring sleeve. The wiring sleeve is a known wear and leak point on ZF 6HP26 gearboxes, so replacing it during servicing helps prevent future fluid leaks and electrical connection issues.

The original factory sump incorporates the gearbox filter, meaning replacement normally requires lifting the engine and removing surrounding components. This easy-change conversion replaces the plastic sump with a durable metal pan and a separate replaceable filter, making future gearbox servicing significantly easier.

Common symptoms of degraded gearbox fluid

• Torque converter shudder during light acceleration
• Harsh or delayed gear changes
• Gear slipping or hesitation
• Noisy or rough transmission operation
• Poor shift quality when hot or cold

If your Range Rover Sport is experiencing any of these symptoms, servicing the gearbox fluid and filter can often restore smoother gearbox operation.
