ZF; 4.2 cars should have the 6-speed 6HP26 with a gear stick, while 5.0 cars should have the 8-speed 6HP28 with the rotary gear selector.
I do vaguely recall seeing some thread discussing whether some early 5.0 might've had the 6-speed, though...?
EDIT: Misunderstanding, I probably recalled seeing a thread discussing whether an early 5.0 might have the J-gate instead of the rotary selector...

My 2012 XKR list a 6 speed transmission on the window speaker . I also know based on the numbers when the paddles are used and by the number of shifts in normal drive mode. I do believe it is a different transmission then the 4.2 cars.

To verify, you can create an account for TOPIx and look up your car specs with your VIN (or you can post the VIN here and someone may do it for you). This information should include the gearbox; it states "6-Speed Automatic 6HP26" for mine.

ZF is the brand as I said, and whether it's 6HP26 or 6HP28 depends on the number of gears you have.

Looks like you're right, my bad! I wonder where I picked the 8 speed up from...

It's not, but you can register yourself as an "independent operator". You'll only have basic access, since most stuff is subscription-based, but you can still look up some specs & factory equipment listings by VIN.

Course, you could always just look at the VIN decoder.
