QuestionI own a 1996 Land Rover Discovery I, it will not shift into 4th gear; it will just stay in 3rd gear. When the truck reaches about 50MPH it feels like the car attempts to shift into 4th but it doesn’t like something’s preventing it to shift into 4th. The engine light is on and the anti lock light (if that has to do with anything). Many people have told me that it was just an over-drive switch but I already tried that. Others have told me that it could be a speed sensor, cam sensor or even the computer. If you have any Ideas please tell me. Thank you.
AnswerHi Chris,
My guess would be a speed sensor.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
