Sonnax Zip Kit Question - 2013 LR4

[TrinidadLR4]

So I am going to do a trans fluid and filter change again(the first time we messed up the pan install and it's been seeping, the gasket didn't seal properly). This time, I am also dropping the mechatronic unit and doing the bridge seal and the 4 tube seals behind it. Then, figure I'll do the sonnax zip kit for this transmission too. Seems there are two versions of this kit - a Gen 1 for 6hp19/26/32 and a Gen2 for 6hp21/28/34. Can anyone confirm what trans is in a 2013 v8? I always thought it was a 6hp/28 so I'd need the 2nd gen kit, but now I don't know if it's a 26 or a 28. Once the pan is dropped, I can find out(the valve bodies look different, there is an identifying guide) but i'd rather order the zip kit in advance. Thanks in advance!

If you have Topix it will tell you for certain, but I'm pretty sure all US 5.0L LR4's had the 28. Mine is an 11 and Topix shows the 6hp28.

I would love to see details on installing the Zip kit when you get there.

Agreed, I would like to install this kit as well.

I can't recall which side of the vehicle it is on, but IIRC when I did my fluid/filter/pan swap, there is a identification plate on one side of the trans. Might be able to get a visual on it either directly or with a mirror.

I will try to take notes as I do this. I plan on following this guide, as well as their instructions(which, I am told are excellent). https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/...-zip-kit-install-solenoid-replacement-192881/

Get this gasket and leave your worries behind. I tried 3 different paper gaskets that all leaked. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUB-LLT-F6R80. Yes it fits the zf6hp26/28 metal pan. I used this gasket on my 06 LR3 and my 12 LR4.

Oh wow, thanks!
