This is a thing now, well actually has been for the last 6 months.

Transmission tuning, for ZF 6 & 8 speed boxes.

6HP26 in;
L319, L320, L322
2.7L, 3.6L diesels, 4.0L, 4.4L, 4.2L petrols

6HP28 in;
L319, L320, L322
3.0L diesel, 5.0L petrol

8HP70 *** in;
L319, L322, L494, L405
3.0L, 4.4L diesels, 3.0L & 5.0L petrols

And the Jags too...

174641174642174643174644

(*** 8HP in the "new" models from 2017MY like Velar, Disco 5, and the 2017MY-onward L405 & L494 is still in development, coming soon!)


Why tune the transmission?

It pains me to say it, but JLR didn't have the budget for test & development like BMW, VW or the other guys had. So they got it "good enough to sell" and then sent it.

Fortunately some very smart and dedicated guys have put in the effort to improve on the factory calibrations. Many months of road testing to fine tune the calibration.

The benefits of the transmission tune vary a little depending on diesel or petrol.

But generally speaking, faster and smoother shifts, the shift points are revised to better utilise the increased power in conjunction with an engine tune. Better throttle response, especially from a standing start.

With the diesels the gear selection is altered to keep the rpms up so the motor doesn't lug.

The torque converter lockup has been altered to stop wasting power, which in turn keeps the fluid from overheating.

It picks the right gear at the right time, no delay or hesitation when you put your foot down.

All around they drive much nicer, more lively & responsive. Makes the Land Rovers drive less like trucks, more like cars.

The best real world example I can give, is when you drive through a roundabout. With the factory calibration you put your foot down leaving the roundabout and nothing happens while it tries to decide what you want... with the tunes it picks the right gear and you go.


How?

We need physical access to the vehicle to load the transmission tunes (as the TCM is inside the box) so I can do this for people in Sydney, or if you bring the car to me from out of town.

Possibly I can make arrangements for people in the other capitals as well, though that relies on organising at least three people instead of two, so keep that in mind.

The tunes can only be loaded with our equipment; cannot be done with IID, Nanocom or anything like that. Only we can do it.


Can you fix my shudder? torque converter surge? etc...?

No, we cannot fix mechanical problems with software. If your torque converter is shot, it's shot. If your clutch packs are worn out, they are worn out...


How much does this cost?

The transmission tunes alone are $880.

When bundled with an engine tune this is discounted to $495, plus the cost of the engine tune (which is $1100 for diesels and naturally aspirated petrols).

So $1595 for both tunes together on a diesel or NA petrol.


It's hard to describe in words just how good these things are to drive after the tunes, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Cheers,
Cameron.

Good idea!

I was looking at some 6hp26 mapping the other day, looks like there is plenty of scope for fine tuning there!

Not that I know much...

All the best.

I've always thought the 6HP was woefully calibrated to make the most of the RRS TDV8

Indeed there is. It's surprising how much can be done with them actually.

It's true, but we've fixed it.

Friday night we did a 2.7 D3, the owner was over the moon with the improvements in how it drives.

Saturday a 3.0 D4, the guy was really impressed with it (700Nm and silky smooth shifts will do that).

And tonight, a 4.0 petrol V6 D3 and the same feedback again, so much nicer to drive.

The engine tunes have always been good, but the transmission tunes take it to a whole new level.

Whilst I'd very much like early TC lock-up in 1st and 2nd to use torque for quicker take-offs without lots of noise, I wouldn't want to move upshifts higher for my 8-speed 4.4 TDV8 considering that I already manually upshift. Manual up-shifting from 1st works best for me but not while turning as the paddles get lost so better to have decent auto programming. I'll be watching for 4.4 feedback.

I had the latest engine and gearbox updates done to my MY12 which made significant improvements to both and city drivers may better appreciate more spirited performance than country drivers, but a chance to drive one that's been done might be enlightening.

D4 did it with ease!

Back to the tune!

It’s made a fantastic vehicle totally sublime!
This was the missing link to the work I’ve done.

No more “roundabout delays”, shifts are positive and better times to keep engine sweet.
Kick down response is brilliant.

Off the line it’s nicer, and roll to slow & go is much improved.

This is how it should have been and more!

Sounds good Tombie.

Pre-getting a remap, have been establishing some baseline performance data for my D3. Noticed when using sport mode and attempting to launch the vehicle the engine bogs down for the first few seconds (even with a throttle controller). The shift speeds also look to take around 0.3 seconds. On a 0-100kph run, I probably lose about 1 second all up.

How does the auto remap change this?

And if you don’t want to rev it out, with the auto remap can you still drive it with shift changes around the 2000-2400rpm mark (to keep it around max torque instead of max power) without having to be extra light on the throttle?

P.S love the photo’s.

What would a tune on a MY19 SD 6 D5 give you in the way of performance & how would that go with a transmission tune?

Cheers mate, I'm glad you like it.


Cambo

What would a tune on a MY19 SD 6 D5 give you in the way of performance & how would that go with a transmission tune?
Well the D5 SD6 is already 225kW/700Nm, which is as far as we want to take the 3.0L in peak numbers.

There is some improvement to be had in the throttle response, & low-end power delivery, but honestly it's not as amazing a difference like with the earlier cars that were 600Nm or 520Nm factory tune...

The DPF is also like a cork in the exhaust, which blunts the throttle response (turbo spool), we noticed this with a couple of UK-import D4's that have DPF's, they just aren't as lively as the locally delivered cars without DPF.

So while we can tune them, it's not going to be an amazing improvement...

As for the transmission, we aren't read yet to offer tunes in the 2017MY+ 8HP's, they have a totally different TCM in them, and programming via the OBD port is also a different scenario as the 2017MY+ cars are Flexray. The guys are working on it, and we will have a solution, it's just not ready yet...

Just wanted to update this thread, as I've done some more Land Rovers in the last few weeks.

2.7 diesel D3 6HP26
4.4 petrol D3 6HP26
3.0 diesel D4 6HP28, x3
3.0 diesel D4 8HP70
3.6 diesel RRS 6HP26, x2
3.0 supercharged RRS L494 8HP70
all of those engine & trans tune

and one 2.7 D4 6HP26, just the trans tune

Everyone has been very happy with the improvement to the driving experience.

And in related news, the gurus in HQ did their first 8HP70 conversion into a 2010 3.0 D4, this was made possible in part by being able to modify some configurations in the 8HP TCM, as well as some tweaks in the 3.0 PCM.

Done a couple of 2.7 Territory engine tunes too, the next one I get we will be looking into the trans tune, as the latest update to the flashing tool added read/write of the Ford 6R80 TCM.

I'd be very interested in hearing about results you've achieved with the 5.0 V8 and 6hp28. I have a 2011 V8 D4. Thanks :) On the engine side there's not huge gains to be had in peak numbers with the 5.0L NA. Stock is 276kW/510Nm, tuned is 292kW/532Nm. The intake on the Land Rovers is a bit more restrictive than on the Jags, that seems to be the limiting factor. The biggest difference is the throttle response & low-end torque, as the stock tune is throttled back down low to make it "docile" to drive.

The 6HP28 for the 5.0L NA get's tuned in a similar way to what we do on the Jag XK/XF/XJ, so faster/smoother shifts, revised gear selection strategy & torque converter lockup strategy. Again it's about the way it drives (much nicer) not as fast as possible... it's a much nicer thing to drive, more responsive, more lively.

I’ll add a another bonus.

I had Cambo tune the transmission on my D4 2.7 (Engine already tuned)

2 weekends ago I hitched the van on the back and headed to Tumby for the weekend.

The transmission strategy absolutely transformed the towing experience - no labouring, no wasted gear shifts of speed drops before changing down and pushing to get back to speed (all towing done on cruise control), no early change ups resulting in labouring and the subsequent gear change to regain velocity.

Overall best towing experience with this vehicle I’ve ever had… and returned 13.5l/100km travelling at 112km/h

I'm a fan of tuning from experience and would love to be getting the best out of our old rig, but is it worth engine and transmission tuning a 2010 3.0 diesel with 255000 on the clock? Is it inviting trouble? The shifts are definitely less than creamy or decisive (and less so when working for a while in low range), and the turbos are a bit oily...

I don't think it's any worse for the driveline than stock, there's some arguments it's better for it (smoother running engine, locked up torque converter doesn't heat the fluid as much, etc...)
Obviously if the motor is knackered, it's not going to 'fix' anything, but it's not going to make anything worse either IMHO.
The D3 we did on the weekend had 434'000kms on it, original motor & box, a petrol V8 though so not apples to apples, but it was a noticeable improvement to the way it drives nonetheless.


Oh and what does an 8HP conversion set one back? That's enticing...
The challenge is sourcing the box and the upper console with the gearshift module and terrain response panel at a reasonable price.
I asked a certain wrecker in South Australia for a quote on the parts to price up a conversion, it was more than I expected it would be.
But let's say if the going rate on a (proper) drive-in-drive-out rebuild on a 6HP28 is $6500, you'll probably be paying a couple of grand more to get an 2nd hand 8HP fitted instead.
My expectation was that an 8HP conversion with a 2nd hand box shouldn't really cost any more than a good 6HP rebuild, but the wreckers want more for the 8HP than I feel they are worth.
The guys in HQ did another 2010 3.0 L319 yesterday, 2nd hand 8HP fitted instead of rebuilding the knackered 6HP, and it worked out cheaper, but you know Australia tax & all...


Thank you very much.

Well the parts needed will vary a bit depending on which vehicle with 6HP you have. If it's a Discovery 4 it's quite simple, if another model then a bit more involved.

Aside from the gearbox, gearshift, and other physical components, you will also need to have the engine and transmission tunes modified.
For this side of things you need PCMFlash and a Scanmatik interface PCMflash & Scanmatik – Old Jaguar (https://oldjaguar.com/product/pcmflash-scanmatik/) and the special cables to connect to the gearbox.

Cambo_oldjaguar
1st June 2022, 07:28 AM
Okay just to round out the topic of 8HP conversion, there are some vehicles where it's "easier" to make this because of the console & gearshift being available with the dial shifter.

Discovery 4 L319, 2010-2013MY
Range Rover Sport L320, 2010-2013MY
Range Rover Vogue L322, 2010-2012MY

In this case it also doesn't matter what engine is in the vehicle... could be a D4 with a 2.7, a 3.0, with a converted 3.6 TDV8, or a 5.0L V8

The L320's with the 5.0L V8, or diesel...

The L322's with 3.6 TDV8 in 2010MY, or a 5.0L V8 (those V8 had 6HP right to the end).

Likewise with the Jags, XK/XKR, XF/XFR, XJ, those 2010MY-onward cars with 6HP, an 8HP is a relatively easy swap.

Pre-2010MY vehicles becomes complicated, not just because of the console/shifter integration, but different CAN protocols (29bit vs 11bit). Not impossible to overcome, but more work = more cost.

VIDOC21
6th June 2022, 07:03 PM
Please tell me , could you describe the procedure itself and what changes in the block should be made in order to redo the 6 by 8 steps ? I 'll find Scanmatik PCMflash from the guys . According to the mechanics , everything is clear , but pinning the wires and flashing the block needs the help of an intellectual . Maybe you will open a separate topic, I think it would be interesting to many.

Exciting update from our end.

After successful tests over the weekend, we are now ready to offer tuning of the 3rd Gen 8HP70/76 and 8HP45/51 8-speed in 2017MY+ models.

That means;

New Defender, Discovery 5, Range Rover Vogue, Sport, Velar, and the 2018MY-onward Jags with 8-speed too.

Transmission tunes, cloning of TCM's, etc, more or less the same as we have been offering for the earlier 8-speeds.

Flashed via the OBD port.

I've just towed from Maitland NSW to rainbow beach in Qld, same fuel results as tombie, probably lower road speed. But the big thing I noticed was how well cruise control now holds. I'm basics inclines within 2kph of target, with bigger hills, I just manually dropped back one or two. Held within 4kph.. Didn't touch the throttle. Very impressed.

I've had the EVC throttle controller out for since I had the tune and the response has come back now all the relearning is done. Just without it as being so harsh as it was with the EVC fitted.

Excellent result

The fact that it can be done near Melbourne now is very tempting , last year did a long touring trip with the 2.5 ton van , the car went well but I did notice it was certainly lacking every now and then especially in the transmission shift points.
Roughly how long does it take to do engine and trans tune?
Should the trans be serviced before the tune? It was serviced about 40,000km ago
Does the engine tune remove the EGR or alter the system operation?

About 2hrs from start to finish, but needs to be done late in the afternoon so the time zone lines up with our man.

It's not a must. Servicing the transmission is no more or less important when tuned than with factory calibration.


Does the engine tune remove the EGR or alter the system operation?
With 3.0 our usual approach is to keep the EGRs fitted and functional, the way they function is altered though.
Stops the soot & crap coming in, but still bleed off manifold pressure when you get off the throttle.
As the kms get higher on these things we are seeing more EGR problems popping up though, so you might need to decide which way you want to go with it.

Hey Cambo and D4 wizards,

Is there any way to determine if my car has already been re-mapped? It goes well compared to others I test drove. I am interested in tuning the transmission and EGR as intend to keep this one for a while but want to understand whether I am in basic delivery spec.

When I purchased it there was one of those EVC throttle adjusters things installed so I suspect the previous owner may have fiddled with other items. I removed the EVC as I preferred the drive without it.

(*** 8HP in the "new" models from 2017MY like Velar, Disco 5, and the 2017MY-onward L405 & L494 is still in development, coming soon!)


Why tune the transmission?

It pains me to say it, but JLR didn't have the budget for test & development like BMW, VW or the other guys had. So they got it "good enough to sell" and then sent it.

Fortunately some very smart and dedicated guys have put in the effort to improve on the factory calibrations. Many months of road testing to fine tune the calibration.

The benefits of the transmission tune vary a little depending on diesel or petrol.

But generally speaking, faster and smoother shifts, the shift points are revised to better utilise the increased power in conjunction with an engine tune. Better throttle response, especially from a standing start.

With the diesels the gear selection is altered to keep the rpms up so the motor doesn't lug.

The torque converter lockup has been altered to stop wasting power, which in turn keeps the fluid from overheating.

It picks the right gear at the right time, no delay or hesitation when you put your foot down.

All around they drive much nicer, more lively & responsive. Makes the Land Rovers drive less like trucks, more like cars.

The best real world example I can give, is when you drive through a roundabout. With the factory calibration you put your foot down leaving the roundabout and nothing happens while it tries to decide what you want... with the tunes it picks the right gear and you go.


How?

We need physical access to the vehicle to load the transmission tunes (as the TCM is inside the box) so I can do this for people in Sydney, or if you bring the car to me from out of town.

Possibly I can make arrangements for people in the other capitals as well, though that relies on organising at least three people instead of two, so keep that in mind.

The tunes can only be loaded with our equipment; cannot be done with IID, Nanocom or anything like that. Only we can do it.


Can you fix my shudder? torque converter surge? etc...?

No, we cannot fix mechanical problems with software. If your torque converter is shot, it's shot. If your clutch packs are worn out, they are worn out...


How much does this cost?

The transmission tunes alone are $880.

When bundled with an engine tune this is discounted to $495, plus the cost of the engine tune (which is $1100 for diesels and naturally aspirated petrols).

So $1595 for both tunes together on a diesel or NA petrol.


It's hard to describe in words just how good these things are to drive after the tunes, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Cheers,
Cameron.

Hi Cambo, anything available for a 2009 build 5.0SCV8 L322 Autobiography at this point transmission and engine-wise in Brisbane? I’m keen.

Okay just to round out the topic of 8HP conversion, there are some vehicles where it's "easier" to make this because of the console & gearshift being available with the dial shifter.

Discovery 4 L319, 2010-2013MY
Range Rover Sport L320, 2010-2013MY
Range Rover Vogue L322, 2010-2012MY

In this case it also doesn't matter what engine is in the vehicle... could be a D4 with a 2.7, a 3.0, with a converted 3.6 TDV8, or a 5.0L V8

The L320's with the 5.0L V8, or diesel...

The L322's with 3.6 TDV8 in 2010MY, or a 5.0L V8 (those V8 had 6HP right to the end).

Likewise with the Jags, XK/XKR, XF/XFR, XJ, those 2010MY-onward cars with 6HP, an 8HP is a relatively easy swap.

Pre-2010MY vehicles becomes complicated, not just because of the console/shifter integration, but different CAN protocols (29bit vs 11bit). Not impossible to overcome, but more work = more cost.

Will a 2009 facelift 5.0SCV8 L322 have 2010-2012 L322 CAN protocols?

Yes,

In Adelaide there’s Jon at Mitcham Motor Garage, and Matt at UK Auto Spares.

Hi Cambo
We have a 2011/12 SDV6 D4 (on it's second motor, or maybe it's third?). I'm approaching what I suspect may be an auto box service, but am keen to sort out the tunes post service. In your industry experience is there someone in Newcastle or Sydney you would refer me to for the auto gearbox service prior to the mapping?
Cheers Goldey

Hey Goldey,

I got a recommendation for Byron at Lake Macquarie Automatic Transmission Services in Toronto.
They did a 6HP service on a customers L322 recently and went right through it replacing seals as well as the pan/filter & fluid.
The guy was very happy with the service from, and even happier after he got the trans tune from us.

Disco is booked in for service and will be in touch some time soon to talk tuning options.
