Drive Line Vibrations - ZF 6HP26 Repair - Land Rover Discovery 3

[@TantersD3]

Perfect Sunday morning viewing😊 Great repair! Just proves that there’s about a million things can go wrong with this car and you’ll still be making videos in 20 years time 😅

[@danielkindon]

After seeing this video and my discovery 3 suffering from the exact same symptoms jumped online ordered the seals, fluid ect got it up on my ramps and couple of hours later its like a new car, smooth shifts and judder has gone 👌 this channel is a goldmine of knowlege for any discovery 3 owner

[@Handleyman]

This really is my favourite KZbin channel. You are both such good friends to have and always with a great sense of humour.

One thing about switching over to metal transmission oil pan, don’t ever use the provided paper oil pan gasket, it will leak even if you use rtv sealer. I strongly recommend and if you can get this Ford transmission pan gasket part number 6L2Z-7A191-BA, it’s for a 6R60 6R70 and 6R80 transmission used in Ford/Lincoln longitudinal engine trucks and suv from 2006-2016 these transmission are exact licensed copy of zf 6hpxx. Pan gasket has outer metal perimeter with inner rubber bonded gasket and has identical placement and location of sealing surface as the plastic pan and it can be reused a few times before it needs to be replaced. I had issues with the paper/composite gasket received from Atlantic British metal pan kit, it leaks and no matter how much rtv/sealant I use it will still leaked, after cleaning the surface and switching over to that pan gasket, no leaks and no messy residue from removal. I’ve drop the pan twice, reused the gasket and still no leaks.

[@pwatom22]

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this explanation. Christian

[@jasonkenneally2953]

Love the videos. Just replaced the oil & filter in my 2008 Discovery after 5kkms with 5w40 instead of 5wdumbass and the difference was amazing. The engine sound so much quieter. Also inspected the oil filter…and no shinny bit…thank God! Thanks for the tip Christian 😉👍

[@torchyboyz]

Dear Vera and Christian, thank you so much for this video, AGAIN. It really is a delight to see you both working together and fixing other peoples cars. You really are such good friends and so helpful. My best wishes to you both. Paul.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks 🙏

[@ian_s7481]

It’s good that you provide this drive through service for all you patron supporters. Most places wash your car while it’s in with them but you go the extra mile and lubricate their gentleman areas. That’s service.

[@bergrud]

Just did this. And fixed my shudder. Chasing. Gearing and rattling. And i had no faith. Land cruiser is cancelled. Did put in 1 dr tranny shudder fix as well. Did it exactly like this all alone. No problems.

[@simon-mouse8739]

Great video as always. Your friends really trust you guys 😁loving the German sense of humour too. I can't wait to see your new mall Crawler and all the work you will be doing to it 😁

[@HiruS22]

The OMG count was high today 😂. I don’t own any land rover (or Toyota!) but never miss your videos.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thank you. Was a stressful repair. Christian

[@bushtuker]

vera was very happy to see the engine start up after the rebuild . That was the sound of success and Vera’s reaction was beautiful , all that work was worthwhile just to see vera,s reaction on the initial fire up.❤

[@mdshovel]

All Sunday activity is on-hold until an LR Time post 😃 The Turbo actuator is a problem on Jaguar with the same engines - especially those with 2 turbos as the second doesn't cut in until around 2800rpm and so is little used and the rod seizes. Good stuff as ever 🙂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks Mark. Christian

[@dolguldur4706]

Everything needed fix or replace...this is what i love about land rover 😂

[@naturshoot8448]

Sunday morning, a proper (not Toyota instant) coffee, cake and LR Time. 👍

[@eoghanfla6343]

Last time I had that turbo actuator problem I had to make a tool from a knitting needle to free it up after lubrication. Made a huge difference. I probably need to do it again soon, thanks for the reminder!

[@tonythorne4623]

Every toolbox should have a Vera.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍 Yes, and I proved to be very valuable in the next video, come Sunday (I think that is when we resease it🤔) 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@nicholascross1961]

Great video!! You are brave to have taken the mechatronic out with the filter!! For reference... I used the metal sump and never had any problems. Also... ZF used a metal sump on certain BMW 6HP transmissions so I don't think that the metal sump is an issue.

[@ranjitpdavid]

Fabulous, entertaining video! It seems there are no ends to your talent Christian, that looked like such a difficult repair, and also the diagnosis! The benefits of the two post lift are really showing now. These brighten up my Sunday evening, so grateful to you both for this channel, the best on KZbin!

12 days into owning my US spec 2012 LR4. You inspire my engineering side haha. Really wish the td6 was available here. I still find a lot of your videos fantastic. Transitioning from my 1995 Discovery was a challenge. Love the feel of solid axles but also love the new rig for parts and support. Cheers 🥂

[@shornsparks20005]

Good morning to both of you another great video I am very surprised when you had to check the road was clear that Christian has not fitted a mirror or device up to see as he normally has everything covered take care keep up the good work both of you

I get so excited when I see a new video has uploaded. can't wait to get my patch and stickers. I harrass the postman every day😅

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I send them all out, hope yours is on its way. I can't put your KZbin name to a real name I have, but depending on where you life, it can take weeks. Almost 6 weeks to Australia, and 4 weeks to the US. If you don't get it in that timeframe, email me again please. 🙏Except for South Africa, It takes 3 months to get there. 😳🙋‍♀️Vera

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We are still not 100% sure where the leak is. Let us know what you find. Christian

[@ciarancarty6186]

Great video as always! I happened to watch Sreten at M539 Restorations (Based in Frankfurt, near you guys, I believe) - another great KZbinr - do an over overhaul of a ZF transmission just recently. I think you would like it. It is his most recent video showing the overhaul of an X5.

[@andrewmarkland9411]

What a joy. I've only watched the first 30s, and it's already brilliant.

[@andrewmarkland9411]

Where can I get an LR Time smurf hat like Vera's?

[@paulwalker427]

great video - nice choice in ice cream

[@vincentcorreia5714]

Loosening the RHS engine mount also give you the space you need to be able to fit the original ZF filter. Change oil regularly and it will save your transmission. Try not to exceed 1 year / 60k km drain interval. Love the content again

[@HolyGoatsOfSteel]

The Britpart pan is worth it, I had a similar issue but my torque converter would flatly not lock up and give me a transmission fault. I swapped all the solenoids and seals and did an ATF change and she's been great ever since. I wish I had a lift!

[@sokoletto]

Congratulations, very good video. 🙂at 15:35 mins

[@duplicitousdemocracy2246]

Wonderful video, interspersed with the usual good humour. Warnings about not attempting this procedure from Christian should be strictly adhered to.

This may be your funniest video yet. 😂. I was waiting for Christian to get water in his face. 😊

[@derek6044]

Always enjoyed your videos! You helped me diagnose many problems over the last 2 years of owning an LR3 and am very thankful of that but have now sold it and moved on. I saw a great sticker the other day..."If you want to go overlanding, buy a Land Rover. If you want to make it back, buy a 4runner" Having owned v8 versions of both in the past, nothing beats the ride and comfort of the LR. What the 4runner lacked in comfort and aesthetics, it made up for in reliability and cost of ownership. This time we chose to give up both comfort and reliability and go straight for a JK Wrangler! You guys are truly a wealth of knowledge with these vehicles and I know MANY people have saved many thousands watching your videos. I will continue to watch and take comfort watching Christian struggle while blaming Vera, knowing I will never have to work on another LR as long as I live. Best wishes to you both and your son! Thank you for all the help!!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Enjoy that new Jeep. They are way too expensive here in Germany. Christian

[@actionman862]

This job is much more simple and easier if you buy the steel sump with a separate filter. Quarter of the time and no stress for Vera!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes but since Brexit it’s not easy to get parts out of the UK. Christian

Brilliant. And highly inventive

[@MorningNapalm]

Shuddering is a perfectly good word, not sure why you prefer jerking :) Shuddering is more of a vibration, and jerking would be more like a clunk on a car. If I didn't miss any, the first OMG was after the 9th minute this time, but then Vera made up for lost time and piled them in 😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Google did not know shuddering. I also thought it is the better word to describe the problem. Christian

[@MorningNapalm]

@@Vera_and_Christian Yes, definitely. Google is brain-dead :D

Ingenius oil seal replacement on the Mechatronic/valve block whilst keeping the plastic pan in place- goes to show some of the TC shuddering may not actually be the lockup clutch at fault and only a leaking seal

[@maxthecaddy8451]

Great video as always 👍

[@ministry_of_love]

I had the same shuddering on my Discovery 3 when I purchased it but took a chance. The quickest and short term solution is to add a quality transmission lubricant additive that cost only a few euros (e.g. _Dr Tranny_ removes shudder instantly). The far more expensive alternative is to get the _transmission rebuilt_ . If you'll pardon the pun, I went down that road and took my Disco to a transmission specialist. It cost of €2700 to rebuild the transmission, which included a reconditioned torque converter and replacement mechatronics valves and clutch. However, the rebuild failed as I was getting transmission errors with the Disco going into fault mode. The transmission was removed two more times but the problem persisted. I decided to buy a _new_ ZF mechatronic unit from ZF directly. This cost another €1200. I went to another transmission specialist who installed it successfully for €700. I had a historical issue with the Discovery not able to go into sports mode (triptonic mode). I thought the new mechatronic would have sorted this. I took the Disco to an electric mechanic and found out that the sport mode _wiring_ was damaged. I finally have the ZF transmission working at a cost of approximately €5000. I bought the vehicle for €6000. My Disco is like my high maintenance lover, requiring lots of money but giving great pleasure....

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Wow. This was bad luck but also some good luck. Glad it is working now. Christian

[@ministry_of_love]

@@Vera_and_Christian It's purring along for the moment and I've been advised to do regular transmission oil changes every 40-60000 km also.

[@MrSnicol]

Superb video, thanks

[@LandRoverLR3]

Great video.

[@johannesfrremadsen4088]

Wow! Just wow!

[@snorris89]

Great video as usual. I love it. If you use the metal pan on the ZF 6HP26 make sure you get a metal/rubber gasket. It looks very similar to the OEM plastic pan gasket. The fibre gaskets are hopeless and leak. This is from trial and error on my side. I could only find one supplier in Aus but you may find more in Deutchland.

[@andymercer8092]

Great video! 👍

[@minhaz3934]

I had RPMs bouncing as well and only on gear. Sometimes hesitates to change gears, and vibrates vigorously. No codes, took it to the transmission doctor, he test drove and suggested to change the transmission oil and filter. Oil pan didn’t have any metal shavings, 170k miles on the transmission. Didn’t have any issues after till about 2000 miles. Now I’m about to do another oil change again to get rid of the little bit of hesitation it has.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

If it’s the 6HP, you need to change those 5 seals and the connection sleeve. Christian

[@kevharwood536]

Great video guys, relaxing with a latte while watching is the perfect way to unwind after fitting my new turbocharger today 😅😅

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Sure you don’t need a two week vacation after that job? Christian

[@brahmstein]

I put the steel pan on our family LR3 back in 2018. Was much easier than the Land Rover workshop manual procedure of lifting the engine, removing the passenger catalytic converter and finally the pan. Land Rover in British Columbia quoted me $3000 for a new pan, fluid and install. I used the Atlantic British kit here in North America and with the fluid I was into the repair for $400 CAD. Have 30,000 KM since then with no issues. Great video! Just so you can take a look there are many vehicles with the 6HP26 transmission. I noticed that some BMW versions are all aluminum finned like URO parts # 24152333903PRM these list the LR3 and LR4 as applications and look even better than the steel pan. I installed. Great job again on the mechatronic seal repair. Many people here in North American by rebuilt transmission not knowing about those seals.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I actually learned about this from a KZbin channel in Florida. The guy explained it really well. Sorry forgot his name. Christian

[@tolosban9915]

Great video again. There is the metal oil pan like you said. You can change the oil filter with that too. If I remember right LR did not list even an oil change for the zf6hp in all it's lifespan. They changed that to 150kkm later. If you look at ZF it's 60kkm oil changes. Not surprised they die. There is a chap named Garry Ferraro on yt with videos about zf6hp's. I think one of the best ones. Anyway your skill is amaizing! Those lr's need people like you. It's the best suv you can buy if you have the skill to keep it running. I always like waching you. First class stuff.
