The Aisin box is a TF-81SC used from 07-16 on 2.0 and 2.3. Not Powershift
The Powershift is only Getrag used on 1.6-1.8-2.0 and 2.2 6DCT450 from 08-16 DCT is Double Clutch Transmission.

The more you post using your current name, the less likely the mods will let you change it!
but don't let that put you off, it's good fun reading your posts, even if I don't have the foggiest what your talking about Launch Cat 501S

It is often the case that a garage will automatically reset adaptions, but if there are no faults and it is just a service, the gearbox will constantly learn. A clean environment helps as the gearbox ECU and engine ECU are linked and a clean signal often allows a lot more power especially with the smaller 2.7 engine in the Disco 3.

The 6HP26 is in the Jags, and BMW's I work with that gearbox a lot. The 8HP is newer and now the 9HP, yes 9 gears is in the transverse Landy's and Mercs.
must admit is very hard to tell when it changes gear, think it starts off in 2nd gear as i can’t feel it changing from 1st to 2nd, exceptionally smooth
didn’t realise they done a 9 speed now, is that to make the ratios closer for smoother changes plse

It is supposedly for economy. They reckon now that a new 9HP is 10% more efficient on fuel than a manual!
They are having "over-shifting" problems though and I did hear (not substantiated) that the Mercs have been programmed to use only 7 of the 9 gears.
