By far the most common issue with the 6HP26 is faulty solenoids.
If the rear stator bush had worn you wouldn�t be able to get into 4th, 5th or 6th gears as the E-clutch would be leaking/slipping.
If it were me, I�d take the mechatronic unit out and send it off to Pete Stirrup for testing (www.valvebodyuk.co.uk) to confirm that you have problems with the solenoids. If so, he can replace them. Too late, I know, but you should never reset the long-term adaptions unless you�re replacing the transmission or mechatronic unit - certainly not with just a fluid change. The 6HP26 will quite happily destroy its clutches as the controller struggles to find the new pressure settings to achieve the correct shift times. A change in the fluid friction modifier pack (i.e. by using the wrong fluid) and faulty solenoids makes the situation still worse.

I did as above earlier in the year. I sent my valve body to a firm in Luton (can't recall the name at the moment), they tested it and found some faults which they repaired. I reassembled with new seals, sump and oil and then reflashed the software using my IID tool. Almost 12 months later and the problem I had (similar sounding to yours) hasn't reappeared. |

not the same car but I had my TD6 box reconned with a new torque converter 4 years ago and paid just shy of �2000 at an auto box specialist with 2 year/24,000 mile warranty (whichever came first) |

I've had exactly the same issue on a similar car and gearbox, luckily I became one of Phil's guinea pigs. All of the problems were down to one solenoid. Yes, just one of them!

Thanks for the response guys! RRphil, if I was to remove the mechatronic unit, send it off for testing is there a cheap way of re flashing the gearbox software now I've reset the adaptations like a fool? |

If you have an IID tool you can do it with that, for a small extra fee. |

Thanks to the contributors. This has solved my problems by IID TCM flush and replaced solenoid valves. |

This fixed my problem couple of years ago. Now it is coming back intermittently. Reset fault and will go back to normal for a month or two. Now it also reads bank 1 rich sometimes. Can the bank 1 rich code and the transmission fault related? |

Just do a search on here for rear stator bush wear.
