  1. I can understand the solinoids being ruined. But the valvebody I think would be able to be opened up cleaned out and rebuilt. And the tcm should be a sealed unit I would think. Im wanting to buy another box and basically just transfer the tcm from my milkshaked box into the new one so that it will link back up with the rest of the car and run.
  2. Yeah the mechatronics is the valve body and tcm as one unit. Im wondering if I can remove the tcm from the milkshaked valvebody and put it into another trans?
  3. Can anyone here tell me if the TCM from a zf that has the milkshake is ruined? I know the rest of the box and valvebody is contaminated But the TCM should be a sealed unit as its submerged in hot fluid all the time. Anyone know?
  4. Im still on the zf build lol. Peppy did you have the 2-1 downshift bump before you built the box?
  5. Here is some good info on rebuilding them. http://5series.net/forums/e60-discussion-2/rebuilding-6hp26-trans-soon-550i-133421/ http://www.scribd.com/doc/20322431/Repair-Manual http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/6-range-rover-mark-iii-l322/44034-zf-6hp26-teardown.html http://www.thectsc.com/catalog/6hp26/28/32-8.html
  6. Awesome thread and an awesome build! Back to the zf solinoids did you need to reflash the tcm before driving it or just left it the way it was?
  7. Yeah it seems to fix alot of the issues with these transmissions and it is pretty simple to install. From what I can gather its caused by loss of fluid preassure due to valves that are not sealing very well in the valve body. Im going to do a gulf western fluid change along with the zip kit,solinoids,new seperator plate for the valve body,pan,filter and a new heat exchange. Im not sure yet if ill need some programming done for the new solinoids.
  8. Has anyone here tried the sonnax zip kit and changing solinoids on the mechatronics unit in the zf6hp26 for the zf lurch otherwise known as the 2-1 downshift clunk? Ive been reading on the bmw rangerover and jag forums that they are having success with doing these fixes.
  9. What are the standard f6 injectors good to?
  10. So is everyone still happy with the GW?
  11. Im wanting to get my fg f6 to around 330 340 rwkw with minimal mods. Want to keep it as stock looking as possible to the point of keeping factory airbox, crossover and exhaust. Ill cut a hole in front of airbox and maybe gut the cat. What else would I need to get me there?
  12. Did you get this problem sorted? I have the exact same issue.
  13. What dealer did you go to if you dont mind?
  14. Good to hear. Ill have to get mine booked in.
  15. Have you fixed the vibrations yet?
  16. Ive got the same thing on mine. Ive had all wheels balanced. Ive noticed that if im doing 110kph plus its there but if I shift back to 5th its worse. No milkshake. All new diff bushes, rose joints and ssl springs allround. Really only noticed it once I replaced bushes and springs. Even worse if there is a few peoplw in the back at highway speeds and I kick back a gear.
  17. I've had a search and can't find a answer to my question. I've got a tripod of saas gauges and I'm wondering how you guys are getting the power for illumination? Do the fgs dim through the earth of the lighting circuit? What's the best way to do it?
  18. So the arms are exactly the same dimensions? Cause they want $400 per arm and there are arms on eBay for $120 each. I wonder if the eBay arms are any good.
  19. Mistake
  20. Must be a common easy fix. Ill pull the whole front out and work it out before it does my head in!
  21. Rang ford today about the top wishbone arms on the f6 and they wanted the vin. Rekons there are about 5 different part numbers for them. Whats the difference with the arms or is it the bushes?
  22. Was talking to my boss today about them laser temp things as we have one at work and he rekons that they read an area of a 2 inch diameter of the red dot.
  23. Ive got a 08 f6 with 150k on it and full service history with ford. Will pull rocker off this weekend and be checking this out. Got me worried now. I wonder how you would go with ford even though its way out of warranty if they know there is a problem with them.
  24. Also how do you change from car to car? Can I pull it out of one car and plug into another or is the app set up for one car?
  25. Bag
