ZF 6HP26 Automatic Transmission Gearbox

[Essex Fat Bloke]

Hi All,

 

Just acquired a 2006 S type (Automatic) - it seems to be a good one - although there is a slight missing on tickover - also as the mileage is quite high -90,000, should I have the gearbox Oil changed?

should have been done at 60k may have record of it in history won't hurt to have it done for piece of mind

hi

As above, I did mine for peace of mind

also check your sills, there hidden by a plastic cover and they can completely rot away

might be worth also getting the plugs changed if its got a misfire, first place I'd start

cheers

Joe.

Welcome to the Club Martin.

The gearbox Oil is supposed to be for life, but most drivers change at around 60k to 70k.

My s type has 77k on the clock but had a new engine at 28k so I have not had it changed yet, but I will in 3 years time.

Regards

Peter.

Hi Martin,

i bought an icarsoft diagnostic tool which has proved a great money saver in terms of identifying faults so i havn't had to buy parts i didn't need.

I had a misfire on my V8 and plugged it in and it identified a coil pack failure on cylinder 1.

I have also used it to check any historic logged codes.

Just had the ABS light come on and the tool has identified left rear speed sensor.

Enjoy the car.

Hi Steve,

I'd also add my endorsement of the LR2 Saves a lot of time rather than setting up the SDD / IDS. Very useful test equipment
