Reply With QuoteI have a 2012 3.0 with six speed which was built November 2011. The later 2012 models were all 3.0 as the 2.7 was dropped. From this model on had the eight speed with the two different tunes.

SubscriberQuestion: Did all L319 diesel powered cars with 3 litre engine have 8 speed transmission?
A lady has an L319 for sale that is advertised as a 3 litre Diesel but the transmission is shown as 6 speed.
I always believed that it was only the 2.7 litre cars that had a 6 speed transmission

SubscriberThe 8-speed was introduced into the Australian market with the MY13 Discovery 4. The UK got the 8-speed with the MY12 Discovery 4.

SubscriberIf it has a shifting lever, it's 6 speed. If it has a rotary knob, its an 8 speed.

SubscriberI’m not sure that it correct as I’ve seen non-facelift D4 with the 8 speed box in MY12 format in Australia. The majority are the facelift model when you see the 8 speed/rotary shift, but check carefully.Originally Posted by kelvo

Only MY13 onwards Australian spec D4s are 8-speed. MY13 is pre-facelift. The facelift happened at MY14.
There are several incorrect advertised D4s on Carsales, three very quick examples of ‘MY13’ D4s with the extremely rare ‘8-speed stick autos’

Subscriberkevlo: Thanks for the information.
Delving further into this subject: "Is the 6 speed as relible as the 8 speed?'
If there are issues to watch for when purchasing either vehicle I will apppreciate any learnings given.

From what I've read over the years, the 8 speed is regarded as more 'reliable' (read: lasts longer) with some of the inherent problems of the 6 speed resolved.

SubscriberThe 6HP28 that comes with the 3.0L is a good box and doesn’t wear like the 6HP26 that came with the 2.7L. The 8HP is again better.
Very few convos around 6HP28 rebuilds but really, it comes down to their servicing and whether they’ve spent a lot of time towing a block of flats behind them. Unsurprisingly them towing their weight again behind them does wear them out quicker, along with if they’ve been serviced frequently, which really should be at 100,000km at a minimum

SubscriberThe 8spd behind the 3.0l makes for even more economical running. Fully agree with DJ, the 6spd is a good strong box, but like any complex mechanical thing, needs maintenance. Fluid change every 80,000km is a good start.
