thats the proper transimision specialist.. a nice big gut, torn up work apparel, toothpick in the mount..and doing the work almost with the eyes closed.. hat down my sir :D
My 6HP26 (2005 Jaguar Vanden Plas) is running well, but I still found myself watching the video for the sheer fun of it! Thanks for the entertainment! Do you ever see 6HP26 failures from using "recommended" fluid other than Lifeguard 6? Like Valvoline Maxlife, or Amsoil Signature Fuel-Efficient Synthetic ATF? Cheers
Not always, but yes. I have seen issues with not using the recommended fluid. And I would never mix fluids. Using a different fluid on a fresh build, maybe. But like I said, you can run into issues.
Hi, love watching your videos. I'm trying this transmission for the first time. Came from a 05 navigator. It had codes before overhauling. Gear 5 incorrect error, 3-4 shift error. Put everything together, used a sonnax zip kit, put everything back together. But now, reverse doesn't engage, and it still has those same codes.
Thanks. If you had not cleared the codes after the rebuild you need to do that. They will not automatically do it. The adaptives also need to be reset and the shifts relearned after that. If you had cleared the codes and they returned you probably have a cracked 4-5-6 drum. As far as the reverse. I would take another look at the valve body and make sure all the check balls are in the correct locations and make sure everything was done correctly with the kit. Keepers in the correct locations, etc..
Hello. Have you repaired these units in the recent years? How's the parts availability? Especially hard parts. I've seen in the comment you've mentioned it's hard to get EVEN A BUSHING kit for them. Strange since this is a popular unit. I'm buying a towing vehicle with such transmission , about to tow 2500-2600 miles every month a trailer with total weight of 4000-4100lbs. I'm thinking of installing aftermarket cooler and changing the fluid every 20000mi. Thanks.
You should get used to marking them in some fashion. Not all transmissions will have identifying marks and should be put back in the way they come out. This transmission however does have identifying marks and they face up. You will not know if someone has been in the unit and put them in upside down if you don't mark it.
Could you post a picture or video on your profile of them? If not go to my Instagram and post it there so I can see which ones you are talking about. The two you are describing are not even close to each other, and you cannot put them in the wrong spot. Either that I am way off on what you are describing.

This guy is a transmission king.
Thanks for watching.

Yes, I see them all the time. It is hit and miss on the parts. Things have gotten crazy since Covid.
Tom, STUECKL is German for "piece". Or, IOW, "piece list" or "parts list".
Thanks, now I know. Did I at least pronounce it correctly?
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Not sure, LOL. I'm Norwegian descent.
looks easy when you do it
Thanks for watching.
Do really we need to be mark on the front pump gear
Any indication to putting back properly
!?
Thanks

@@CurmudgeonTransmission thanks
However I’m working on 6hp21 .bmw 730li .2012
There is dot on the gear
Dots face up on both.
Hello.which washer is placed on the shaft from the parking drum, and which one between the bearing and the flanges of the drive shaft?

what is the difference Between GA6HP26Z to 6HP26 ? Thanks
Z is an AWD, 6HP26 is a RWD.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission you are correct my its a Z for my xDrive! what about the- "GA"-6HP26Z (AWD)
Just ZF's designation. Stands for gear automatic.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Thanks for the input 👍
Are the bushings badly worn out?
Always. Getting real hard to get them now. The ones in the pump must be replaced or it will not work right.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission probably dirt from the hydraulic clutch affected the wear
