They certainly put lots of stickers on the transmission casing! Are you able to see the Land Rover part number sticker on the LH side of the bellhousing at all?

So your 2007 transmission has the earliest ZF firmware (p/n 1068 022 108) and your 2011 transmission has the latest (p/n 1068 022 166).

Brilliant thank you Phil, please excuse my lack of knowledge but I can only assume that the gearbox ecu on the mechatronic is the black part you pictured earlier? Not had to much to do with auto box’s but not afraid of stripping anything down …. 1990 3.5 v8 defender

Yes, just the black plastic part. It’s held onto the valve body assembly with 6 screws and positioned by a couple of dowel pins. Very straightforward to swap – you won’t have any issues.

A pre-MY10 electronic module will definitely not work with a MY10+ vehicle due to the different canbus design. |

You can buy a ZF kit, part number 1068 298 090, which includes all the seals.

Cheers Phil very much appreciate your input on this and other members equally, being a 2011 yes a lot of parts on the car that are date stamped range from June - September so must of been sat around before being registered .

Although it’s pretty intuitive that a torque converter will retain a fair amount of fluid when the transmission is drained

Ok I was kinda hoping that by holding the torque converter horizontally the fluid would drain out ,however I guess the majority of the fluid within the gearbox being changed would dilute the remaining in the torque converter and I assume the only other way apart from machining the converter open as you mentioned would be a total pumped flush in situ.

When I changed the gearbox on my 2007 Supercharged, I hooked a 12v oil feed pump up to the gearbox oil cooler pipes where they were disconnected from the gearbox and flushed the oil cooler in both directions with Lifeguard 6. I also replaced the o-rings on those pipes where they are fitted into the gearbox before refitting as well.

It’s a shame ZF don’t supply the oil in 20 ltr drums as one would expect it to be cheaper than 1 ltr bottles but as far as I’m aware they don’t,
