May try shoving a 6HP26A into the car...

That will be nearly impossible. Aside of the physical dimension differences, the 6HP26 has the TCU inside the trans.

I'm glad you chimed in on this, as I remember talking to you about this a couple years ago.

Do you know what kind of transmission is pictured strapped to the jack?

Also do you have any leads on any S8s with bad transmissions?

The trans on the jack is a 6HP19 out of a 4.2 Phaeton. The D3 A8 also has the 6HP19.
Unfortunatelly the D2 got old so people junking them.
The 6HP26 is way stronger than the 5HP24. The Aston Martin DB9 has it and it holds up with that V12 with no problems.
