Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Confirm vehicle is a 2016-2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport (or 2016 Range Rover Evoque) with 2.0L Turbo Petrol engine.
- Verify original transmission ID tag starts with ZF parts list prefix 1094.
- Check for open recalls, specifically 16V529000 / 16V-614.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- transmission jack
- engine support bar
- subframe alignment pins
- JLR-approved diagnostic scan tool (SDD or Pathfinder)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- ZF LifeguardFluid 9 (Land Rover OE Part Number LR023288)
- Plastic oil pan gasket or entire plastic pan/filter assembly
- Input shaft / torque converter seal
- Axle seals
- Transmission cooler line flush
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: TCM Adaptive Relearn / Touchpoint Adaptation
A full adaptive values reset and touchpoint adaptation procedure is mandatory after installation using a JLR-approved diagnostic scan tool. Failing to reset this data will cause extremely harsh shifting and can destroy the replacement transmission's clutches within a few miles.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque Converter Seating: Ensure the torque converter is fully seated (three distinct clicks) before bolting to the engine to avoid cracking the internal oil pump.
- Power Transfer Unit (PTU) Alignment: Splines on the intermediate shaft must be perfectly aligned and lubricated with high-temperature spline grease.
- Temperature-Controlled Fluid Level Check: Must check fluid level with vehicle level, engine running, and fluid temperature strictly between 35°C and 45°C (95°F to 113°F).
- Mandatory Adaptation Reset: Driving on old adaptation values can ruin the replacement transmission's clutch packs almost immediately.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Buying a Non-Land Rover Version: Purchasing a ZF 9HP48 from a Jeep, Chrysler, or Honda which will not fit.
- Reusing a Contaminated Transmission Cooler: Failing to replace the cooler after a catastrophic mechanical failure, washing debris back into the new unit.
- Using Generic ATF: Using standard multi-vehicle ATF instead of the required ZF LifeguardFluid 9.
- Expecting the Transfer Case (PTU) to be Included: Assuming the PTU comes with the transmission assembly.

Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance
120-Day Warranty
This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included
- Warranty covers defects — not installation errors, misuse, or damage after installation
Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion
- Programming: "Needs to be programmed to my vehicle" is not a valid return reason. Many modules require dealer programming — we're happy to help connect you with resources if your dealer says it's not programmable
- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
