Disco3 auto judder and Rev hunting
Hi hope someone can help my disovery is juddering and revs are going up and down when softly accelerating
1st thing I have noticed is this oil pipe from Gearbox very wet and muggy and loose I can turn the juberly clio by hand could this cause a loss of transmission fluid and cause the problems I not had it long and looks like it’s been like this for a while
Thanks in advance would appreciate it

You could lose fluid there. It's where people do a diy fluid change, or add dr tranny etc. looks a bit mangled as if someone has used it before to add/change fluids. Jub clip should tighten up. Is the car newish to you? Does sound like a torque converter on the way out...

Yes it does sound like it’s in the way out but wondering if to check fluid level first as may could just be low beam

I think you've missed a nought off there, or read it wrong!It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I suspect it's too late for a flush, better putting the money into a new torque converter.
I am not an expert, but I am sure someone with more experience than me will be along shortly.......
Good luck

Yes it can probably buy you some time, but ultimately you know the solution.
Just be weary that I think the hunting can damage the gearbox, so I wouldn't leave it too long.
Good luck
