The ZF 6HP26/6R60/6R80 6-Speed automatic transmission, manufactured by ZF Getriebe, has found its way into a wide range of vehicles, from BMW’s to Range Rovers, Jaguar’s, Rolls Royce’s, and a wide range of Fords. It is, by most accounts, a great driving experience. Unfortunately, it is not without its share of common faults. Here you will find some of the faults we’ve come across on more than one occasion. See the bottom of the page for a list of vehicles that have this transmission.

The valve body (hydraulic control unit) in the ZF6HP26/6R60/6R80 automatic transmission is an unfortunate weak point in the design. Inside the valve body are a number of components that wear down relatively quickly. When this happens, drivers may experience a range of problems with the transmission’s shifting, including harsh changes, sliding shifts, and even the triggering of failsafe mode. To fix this problem, the valve body must be removed from the transmissions, completely stripped down, and the worn components replaced.
Juddering
Particularly common in Range Rover Sports, the torque converter commonly fails in these transmissions. The only fix is to replace the converter. If a transmission judder is noticed the problem should be addressed as soon as possible, as debris from the torque converter’s internal components can cause severe damage to the rest of the transmission if left.

Transmission Failsafe
If the transmission goes into failsafe and is accompanied by gear ratio codes, particularly 4, 5, or 6 gears, the fault is likely being caused by worn bushes. The fix is to strip down the transmission completely and replace the bushes.
