Hi all,

does anybody know which transmission the TDV6 has? I know of course it is a 6-speed-automatic but does it have a certain name (or number), from which manufacturer is it, which cars have the same, etc.?

Does anybody know?

Wow, that was quick, thanks!

Do you know other cars that have the same transmission (Jaguars, Fords, BMWs?)?  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I don't understand why RRS and D3 are listed in the "two-wheel-drive" list but I think the transmission guy does understand that list and knows what to do now, thanks!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

It's because the transfer box fitted to the D3 and RRS handles the 4WD function, not the gearbox itself  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

I see, thanks for the explanation.  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

One of the first explanations from LR regarding the ZF 6HP26 transmission introduced with the RRS was:

The ZF 6HP26 transmission is an electronically controlled, six speed unit. The transmission is manufactured by ZF Transmissions GmbH in Saarbrücken, Germany. This transmission represents the latest in automatic transmission technology and incorporates new features to enhance the transmission functionality:

The hydraulic and electronic control elements of the transmission are now incorporated in a single unit located inside the transmission and is known as 'Mechatronic'

Another new strategy is Adaptive Shift Strategy (ASIS). ASIS represents the continuous adaptation of shift changes to suit the driving style of the driver which can vary from sporting to economical.

The transmission is controlled by a Transmission Control Module (TCM) which contains software to provide operation as a semi-automatic 'CommandShift™' transmission. TheTCM allows the transmission to be operated as a conventional automatic unit by selecting P, R, N, D on the selector lever. Movement of the selector lever across the gate to the'M/S' position puts the transmission into electronic 'Sport' mode. Further movement of the lever in a lateral direction to the + or – position puts the transmission into electronic manual 'CommandShift™' mode.

The 6HP26 transmission has the following features:
Designed to be maintenance free
Transmission fluid is 'fill for life'
The torque converter features a controlled slip feature with electronically regulated control of lock-up, creating a smooth transition to the fully locked condition
Shift programs controlled by the TCM
Connected to the ECM via the High Speed CAN for communications
Default mode if major faults occur
Diagnostics available from the TCM via the CAN

Thanks a lot for the information!

It is very interesting, thank you!
However I needed the info for Tim Eckart who is some kind of transmission-god in Germany so I am sure he was already satisfied by getting the name of the transmission.  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration
