I have just heard from Beasty, and will catch up with my new name soon. Thanks for your support though Shim, I appreciated it last night!

As this is my only post I'm sticking to it.

I just edited out all the Company names in my first post.

I can do that if Beasty agrees and allows. I don't want to make more mistakes Shim

I have not heard. I want to change it but it can't be done this end.

There was a court case going through in Europe, Ford against Getrag. The Powershift chews up oil, and the cars eventually get stranded after jumping around for a while. The Aisin box is probably a lot better and they are probably the biggest producer in the World.

No I enjoy talking gearboxes Shim, so will stick it all out and find time to help when I can

I'm still here Shim....at the moment anyway. Staying in a prem inn in paignton devon so I thought I would give you all a shout.

It's a new box for me and I only know what I have heard so far GT.

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.

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.

I am sticking to this one thread. I feel like I know some of you already!!

Better to burn out than to fade away Shim. Phew, keeping up with you lot.......respect to you and this site

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...

I'm not saying...Google it if you have to...and let me change the name....mistake....

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.

I only suggest resetting adaptions when there is a fault. The gearbox will adapt around a clean environment, and it uses huge amounts of fuel to reset from factory settings

I flush Powershifts all the time. Powershift is made by Getrag. See you've learnt something in just one thread Turbo Don't shoot the messenger.......

You will get me banned!! Fluid is discussed all of the time. And, Exchanging Machines are not liked by ZF, even though we stick up for their fluid quite a bit.

Nope....Trade Only for sales.
