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

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 😅

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

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.❤

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.

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 😉👍

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

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.

LR Time is now what Sunday is about. 😊 You've replaced Ski Sunday.

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 😁

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.

The dry sense of humor is off the charts. As is the knowledge. All in English too. Brilliant!

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.

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!

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.

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 🙂

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

Love the tap socket Christian I'll be adding a set of those to my tool kit

Brilliant as usual! Very well done guys

Hi Christian and Vera have a nice sunday, take care 💯

Vera and Christian, Another great video and great repairs. Thank you both.

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

Great video as always 👍

Just can’t get enough of you. Love

Another good job done with entertainment ! Well done guys

As usual Excellent

Super fun video to watch, thanks guys!

Wieder mal ein super video danke

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

Beyond entertaining...Thank you!

Well done you guys are brilliant.

Great video.

Another great fix 👍

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 RU-vid!

Just a good mix of craftsmanship and wit.. love you guys

Great video! 👍

Excellent video with lots of great tips. Keep up the good work on everything Land Rover

Вера .Кристиан молодцы! привет с Алтая !

Brilliant. And highly inventive

Another great video! I laughed through nearly the whole thing!! 🤣 Great job with diagnosis, Christian. I hope you all have plans on replacing that carrier bearing sooner than 10 years. 😉

Great video..👍👍

Great Video! You guys certainly know your stuff!

Great way to start a Sunday a bit of serious engineering 😀😀 what a great sense of humour many thanks

Excellent video very interesting thanks for the video.

Wow! Just wow!

Excellent as always thank you Vera & Christian. You have a superb engineering intellect Christian. Best wishes.

Superb video, thanks

Thankyou C & V for a very interesting video today I'm always looking forward to my Sunday learn by doing course by Christian with Video and ancillary support by Vera, great job! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Getting to watch a Land Rover video on Sunday! What a treat! Great fix Christian and Vera!

Great job like always 😉

Great video as always! I happened to watch Sreten at M539 Restorations (Based in Frankfurt, near you guys, I believe) - another great RU-vidr - 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.

🙏❤️ loved it

An excellent video. Lots of OMGs from Vera is always a good sign Joachim is a lucky man 🙂

Christian is my hero!

My new favourite channel, brightens up my Sunday mornings

Thanks grate wideo 👍👍👍

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 🥂

Thank you.

Every toolbox should have a Vera.

Even Vera & Christian 😊 That was a great fix especially with Vera panicking in the background lol 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 X for Vera

Отличное видео!)

as always, really enjoyed your video Christian & Vera.. very informative.. cheers from Malaysia!

Superb..

The best of the best! Love you guys! #above&beyond

You're the perfect friend for a Disco owner to have Christian. Nice job perfectly executed with German precision.

I did this in the garage on my back on a 7 series bmw....good times

This was the best episode so far and I watched all of your videos. 😅😍🥰🤩

I will watch your latest segment of work later. Thanks.

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!

Wieder ein sehr schönes Repair-Video. 😀 Besonders auch die Idee mit der Kamera und der Sprühdose. 🤩👍 Ja, die Fussraum-Kamasutra-Stellung habe ich auch in meinem alten DISCO I so einige male ausprobiert. 🤣🤣🤣😘

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

Another great video. I had the water ingress problem and bought the DHB500400 kit and also LR077843 clips and haven't had the problem since.🤞🏻

I can't wait for next Sunday 😁

Love the video. I've began using a cheap modified pump up sprayer for transmission fluid refills. So much easier than the hand pump.

I drive a jeep WJ but I still love your Discovery videos always makes me laugh both of you are great fun to watch.

Congratulations on 25K subs!

Great video again and looks like a good buy there well done

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

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

Great video again,so funny,keep up the good work,see you next Sunday 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Great video my shuddering was torque converter. I got a replacement with kevlar clutches in it ... its very good 👍

You are a genius 👏, this channel is so good, I love watching all your videos and I don't have a discovery.......or a toyoda 🤣. Thank you both for such good entertainment. ❤️

Good morning!!

I just found your youtube channel..looking to buy a discovery...love your videos keep them coming.

Great coincidence I have the same A pillar water leek, I put weather seal around my door frame but I will amend that. Currently on holiday in Gran Canaria so a job for next weekend, thanks Christian lol... Best regards Phil & Louise

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.

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. You know how tu make a superdifficult repair look easy an fun.💪👍

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

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

Vera and Christian fantastic video and entertaining lol 😂 and welcome Joachim to the team )) I’m thinking he should join in with Vera and Christian 😂😂❤ 🇬🇧

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😅

Excelent

I'm soo looking forward to You good people doing the body off. Like a three or four episode epic, detailed, amusing and informative episode. Need to do the crossover and probably rear crankshaft seal myself. 2005 D3 manual. Need more visual in advance.

Ihr seid genial:) Schöne Grüße aus Flensburg.

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....

It’s Sunday so that means it’s LR time 😊😊😊👍

great video - nice choice in ice cream

Good morning to you both happy Sunday hear I go to watch the vidoe 👍👍👍👍👍🎃🎃🎃🎃

Thumbs up,by the way,i had a hi lux in 1981(brand new)it was like being embraced by my mother when i was a small child.Ah well,happy days. Cheers.

Entertaining. Crazy.

Amazing how installing a two post lift gets you lots more friends ;-)
