| Torque Converter Part Number 6HP26X 4.4 V8 | |
I feel I've searched and read all there is to read on this, but apologies if this has been answered somewhere else.
Short version: I'm trying to determine if a torque converter I've bought on Ebay is the right one for my gearbox.
Longer Version: I am, alas, not even in the same hemisphere as Sussex Autos / JPAT / anyone else who can rebuild my TQ, so taking it off and sending it and getting it back would take weeks to months. I figured I would try and find a used one online and ship it to Sussex Autos for a rebuild and then ship it out. I think I have found the right one, but with all the logistics (and cost) involved, I'd be extremely grateful if anyone with more knowledge of these could confirm if I've got the right one (one of those posts you hope someone like RRPhil takes pity on!)
My gearbox "STUEKL" number is 1068 020 051 which is a 6HP26 X on my 2006 4.4 V8 (petrol)
When I look at the ZF Catalogue HERE I see that the torque converter for my transmission is 4168 026 608.
While searching for the part on EBay, I couldn't find one for my specific gearbox. However, I see that the same torque converter appears to be used on some other 6HP26 gearboxes (LR3 4.4) even though the transmission ID is a bit different.
So, when widening the search for a Disco 3 4.4 V8 torque converter, I found this on Ebay

My theory is that the underlined text in the image (4168 026 608) is the part number and as that matches the ZF catalogue part number for my transmission, I should be able to fit it onto my transmission (after Sussex Autos rebuild it).
However, life to date has taught me that things rarely are so straightforward. So, while I am in the returns window on Ebay, can anyone see what I've overlooked in this approach, or why I've ordered a torque converter that won't fit my transmission, please let me know!
