For those whose S-Types use the 6HP26 transmission, I hope you will find this post useful:

ZF 6HP26 Fluid Flush DIY

Very nice work! I like how you duplicated the fittings on the line ends.

One quick thought: Should you mention the difference between a genteel DIY flush as you've described, versus the potentially harmful power flush some shops might do? Even though the process is relatively easy, the occasional reader might just have a shop do it. "I'd like a transmission flush, please..."

Great point, Karl!

I think your concerns about terminology are well-founded and I will add a point of clarification to the text of the post. Thanks!

Cheers,

Don

 

Nice write up....i think i have everything here already except the fluid....best of all, your diy instructions are in laymans terms....sometimes that is hard to do, i know, because you have to think like a layman and not a seasoned mechanic

 

Thanks for the kind words, scottjh9,

If by "seasoned" you mean "old with gray hair," I plead guilty as charged!

Cheers,

Don

 

I am on my way also Don.....and sore everything...gave up the wrench for a living about 20 years ago, but you would have to pry my tools from my cold dead fingers
