Auto gearbox weight
Hi I wonder if anyone knows the weight of the auto gearbox minus the transfer box on a 05 Discovery please.
I have removed the transfer box hoping that was the problem. Alas no.
When Drive is selected the box locks up & will not rotate the output shaft. Looks like a gearbox removal & complete strip possibly

Thanks for your replies. Having removed the transfer box I was wondering how heavy the box was & how difficult it would be to remove & lower to the ground using a trolley jack.

After removing the transfer box I decided to run the car without the transfer box attached.
When Drive is selected the gearbox locks up & the output shaft from thr gearbox does not rotate.
I realise the gearbox will have to be removed but I was wondering if the gearbox can be overhauled or maybe a new gearbox?
Not sure if anybody has had the same problem, I have searched auto gearbox faults but not been able to find any info on the problem have.
