    One or two 6HP-26 autos?

    I read on a forum (Disco UK) where suggestions were made that there are (in UK - Manual options and) 2 different 6 speed Autos available as ZF 6HP-26 units for the D3.

    The Standard 6 speed and an 'adaptive' 6 speed .. is this true or myth.?

    If there are two differing gearboxes (6 speed Autos) what is the serial No or Model number that differentiates between the models please ?
    Thanks
    Steve

    There used to be a manual option for D3s in Australia. As far as I know all auto D3s have the same transmission.

    Not just a change or setting on the software is it?

    In Australia,
    Manuals were available until end of 08MY.
    All autos in the D3 are the same. (Maybe different in the UK as there were commercials that we never received & there "may" have been a cheaper alternative!)
    Camel Landy may know a little different.

    The D4 has 2 different autos tho' one for the 2.7L & one for the 3.0L

    Automatics in Discovery 3/4 in Australia:
    D3 (all): ZF 6HP26
    D4 5L and 2.7L: ZF 6HP26
    D4 3L (up to MY12): ZF 6HP28
    D4 3L (MY13 on): ZF 8HP28
    All are adaptive.

    Happy to be corrected, but thought a summary would be better.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    MY12 also had the ZF 6HP28 (Mine has).

    I thought the MY13 had the ZF 8HP28.

    D4 2.7L: ZF 6HP26
    D4 3L (up to MY12) and 5L: ZF 6HP28
    D4 3L (MY13 on): ZF 8HP28
    All above are adaptive.

    I just looked up the sales booklet for the D4 and noticed that the 5L have the 6HP28 auto - so updated the summary.
