Things to remember before repairing Freelander gearboxes

Nicknamed Baby Land Rover because of its small size, the Freelander has carved out an enviable place for itself in the SUV segment. Its sleek appearance conceals a cabin that's visibly designed to offer roominess, safety and comfort. On the mechanical side, the British manufacturer did not hesitate to innovate compared to existing models.

Despite the agility, power and robustness of your vehicle, it is still possible that it is handicapped by a problem Gearbox Land Rover Freelander. You may hear a rolling noise Gearbox Land Rover Freelander td4 or other version. Your gears may have a tendency to jump. Gears may become harder to engage as the next oil change date Gearbox Land Rover Freelander approaches.

If the possibility of repairing the faulty gearbox is not excluded, it is always a good idea to enquire in advance about a possible replacement.

 

 

A look back at the evolution of the Land Rover Freelander gearbox

The Freelander officially retired in 2014. Although production has ceased, it is still quite possible to find original certified gearboxes to replace those that are not working. Several types have been designed to go with the SUV and we'll help you get a clearer picture.

 

 

The CB 40 prototype entered the test phase during 1996 and 1997. The 2.0L petrol unit was not selected. It was blamed for its bulky and heavy design. So a 1.8L 118 hp 16-valve block belonging to the K-series is fitted alongside the 98 hp 2.0L turbo diesel block. A 2.5 V6 177 hp K-series engine is also planned to target the American market. These engines are the ones that accompany the first generation of Freelander, officially launched in 1998. For the occasion, Land Rover has left its two-speed gearbox aside. The Gearbox Freelander 1 is a BVM5 belonging to the PG1 family borrowed from Honda. An optional Gearbox automatic Land Rover Freelander Jacto 4 or 5-speed is available for US sales.

The facelift carried out in partnership with BMW extends the range of engine blocks from 2001. Thus, Rover offers the 2.5i KV6 177 bhp coupled with a BVA5 inspired by the Tiptronic, while BMW is banking on the 2.0 L4 TD4 112 bhp delivered with a 5-speed manual Freelander td4 gearbox. The 117hp 1.8i petrol engine is also mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

A new restyling is done before the release of the Freelander 2004. The modifications are mainly about the design. The dashboard has also been reinvented and the interior has been redesigned. On the other hand, the old Gearbox Land Rover Freelander td4 is kept. The petrol units are still delivered with the BVM5 for the 1.8i 117hp and a BVA5 for 2.5i V6 177hp.

The Gearbox Freelander 2 accompanies vehicles produced from 2006 to 2014. For the first phase, the 233hp 3.2L V6 block was combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 160 bhp 2.2L turbodiesel unit was offered as standard with a 6-speed mechanical gearbox, with the 6-speed auto gearbox being optional.

 

 

The last improvement was in 2009. For this phase 2, the Freelander mainly carried a 2.2 turbodiesel engine, without neglecting the other units. The petrol units were delivered with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, either the 2.0 SI4 GTDi 4WD 240 bhp or the 3.2L 230 bhp. In diesel, the 2.2 ED4 2WD 150 bhp unit is automatically associated with a 6-speed mechanical gearbox, while the 2.2 SD4 190 bhp unit is coupled with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The choice between 6-speed Gearbox Freelander td4 automatic and 6-speed manual gearbox is possible for the 2.2 TD4 150 hp and 2.2 TD4 160 hp blocks.

To sum up, the transmission you're looking for can be either a 5- or 6-speed manual (PG1 or Getrag) or a 5- or 6-speed automatic as well.

By looking under the hood, you can identify a code in numbers and/or letters engraved on the housing. Write it down, it is the exact reference of the gearbox. If you are unable to decipher the code, rest assured, the professionals will always be able to help you in your choice.
