Dude, your (intricate) BMW systems knowledge is incredible!
Ive been searching for advice on my BMW 745LI for over a year. My local BMW dealer wants 4000 bucks to start work on my transmission. I love my BMW autos have been part of my career for 45 years. I’m not a wealthy person, retired living on fixed income ( love Retirement) but I can’t afford to pay that price. So I’ve watched hundreds of videos so I can along with my career knowledge try and do at least a good portion of the work myself. Your transmission video was the best thing sense bubblegum. Great video pointed out exactly what I needed to get started on the BMW that has been sitting for almost a year not being driven. But I love so much that I want sale or trade it. I have hope in being able to tool around in my BMW for good deal of remaining time. THANK YOU you’ve got a new fan of your show
Thanks for this! I have a E60 550i with the SAT and an aftermarket ESS supercharger that I installed six years ago, and the only gripe I have about the car is the downshift from 2 to 1 at a stop- the car literally JUMPS forward and it tends to scare the crap out of anybody in it (especially when rolling up behind another vehicle). The car has 83,000 miles on it now and I was just about to flush the fluid anyway. It's good to know that it's just a seal and not a more serious issue. You rock! Subscribed!!!
having the same car but with 275.000 km. 2nd to 3rd upshift is rough. Did you fix your issue?
Mine does the same but 1 gear slips tho
@@mariabutler3356 : sorry for the late reply... YES. The problem got quite a bit worse, and I ended up having problems shifting in every gear and getting slippage in the lower gears. I thought the transmission was toast, but replacing all the sleeves and seals cleaned everything up and it drives perfectly again. Aside from brakes, this was the first major issue I've had with the E60 and I am happy that it was so easy to fix.
My E46 M3, however........
Thank you so much, had a transmission shop look at it and they were going to change the whole mechatronic unit. I have the confidence to do the solenoid change myself after your awesome videos.
Excellent, finally someone bringing some lights on a very dark issue.
Excellent video mate,
I have finally solved the problem with my BMW E60, the range sensor was at fault and your video helped me a lot to diagnose the fault.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers!
what symptoms were you experiencing?
Hello, I got a delay in upshift, from 2 to 3. What could that be?
I have just finished repairing thid exact fault
Dead solonoid replaced the sleeve seals all working again
If your confident with diy put sonnax kit through it the accumulater piston dampers flatter out inside the valve body and the sonnax kits fix alot of issues with in the valve body
Gresat vid by the way your rite alot people can not diagnose transmission faults
i like the way he explain the transmission process
you are the best for you information
man u very honest person keep it up we need people like u in earth!!!
Fantastic info😊👌
I'm driving a Audi A8 4.2 TDI whit zf 6hp26a and this was just great stuff to know. Thank you👍
Thank you for all the info you provide to all the Beemer community.
I'm not sure how you know all this stuff but thank you for sharing your knowledge it's very helpful it's like content gold
N.C. resident here, triad area 📍 Thanks for your knowledge, I changed out mines and perfected it. I’ve changed the sleeves on 2 other e90’s for a reasonably lower prices 💪🏽 safe to say I’ve been making money 🥳🥳 thanks sinsei 🤲🏾
Where at in the triad area are you I’m here too need some help with my F01!
Awesome explanation Ankur. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! Great video shows your knowledge and experience. You saved me over $12k on a transmission per BMW. Changed out the mechatronic unit with sleeve, plug adapter per you video. Then had Bimmerhaus program mechatronic unit with IMPA
As always, great video 👍🏻
Big topic that I hear a lot too!
You my friend are exactly correct. You've come that far, just replace them all.
I appreciate you giving costs. most people don't
Awesome job! Came here looking for help with the ZF 6HP in my 2008 Jaguar XJR. Clunky 2-1 shift, now I know!
Did it help im on same situation what did you do exactly. Thanks
New E90 owner!! Seen your videos before. I knew I subscribe for a reason. This is so helpfull and saved me so much money. !!$$$$
Straight fire video as always….Your video on replacing the sleeve save me a ton of money
Glad it saved you money! Thanks for watching!
@@ShopLifeTV the problem? I did all of tranny pan- sleeves, seals on my 335i at 130k (which was the original) - fixed the sleeve leak and Bamo- new car feel- I bought an n62 550i with 173k. Did the same thing- but not the solenoids! Still crappy shifting- back under we go! Yo- can I reset the tranny after I’m done with Carly or do I need ista? (Again- great content- second time watching this!
@Dustin´s Fish Tanks I would like to know what were the symptoms you suffered before changing the sleeves. I suffer from small jerks between first and third, and the reductions are somewhat abrupt too. Do you think those pulls will be fixed by changing all the sleeves and connectors? The oil in the box is recently changed. Thank you very much and congratulations for having been decisive in your car.
@@ShopLifeTVI have this 2nd to 1st jerk. Just starting to drive the car you don’t feel it. Later as your drive yes. It could be only low oil? Why it doesn’t feel all the time?
Thanks!
Thank you very much for putting this up. Looking at a Jaguar S-Type V8 super charged car that has recently had the 6 speed ZF transmission rebuilt.
very intelligent & knowledgeable dude;thanks friend,you're a guru ! wow man,thanks!
Reverse neutral range sensor error here 545i looks like you will be my best friend for the step by step as I have never done a transmission.
Thank you! Great info!
Thanks for the info....can a used egs be coded to a different car. I've been told it will only work if it's new.
Hi! Great video!
I have a bmw 635d from 2008. I've got an issue with my gearbox. After the car decelerate from around 3000-4000 rpm I can feel a shaking(shock), it's like the gearbox rush to change in to a higher gear. I've been on the service they change oil and pan but it does the same problem, apart that the gearbox it's a perfect shifter. Please help!
Have you ever had to rebuild a ZF transmission? as In replace the clutch packs and stuff?
how do you verify / checking the solenoid if its good or bad ?if i test using a multi-test ,what scale and values i should look at it?
Subscribed. Clear and useful information. Thanks!
Do you have any videos regarding reading the transmission codes, for solenoid errors and whatnot, with the INPA program? Thanks!
Great detail very much appreciated I have this same gearbox on my Range Rover Vogue L322 2007 3.6 diesel twin turbo so I guess all this info still applies. Many thanks.
Same here
just been watching a few of your vids on servicing the ZF gearboxes. Just wondered I have an error p0706 gearbox position sensor come up on my x5. It had the oil serviced before I bought it but wondering if the fluid is slightly low would this possibly cause that error? Its not coming up for weeks at a time. I need to change the sleeves as 2nd to 1st is a bit sharp sometimes, but is there something else i should be looking for when i go into it?
Hey Jason, great video. Do you have a video showing up how to install/setup ISTA?
Great video! What are your thoughts regarding incorporating a Sonnax Zip Kit along with solenoid & sleeve maintenance? Thanks
You organize your presentation very well, I am an Audi tech but same applies here and you are spot on, are you an instructor?
Really grateful for your videos bro! Quick question though, is it cool to use Pentosin atf1?
Hi there...great video....very informative!!!
Need some help with my 2012 X3.
It's started to show 'Transmission Fault' at low speeds only around 40/50....perhaps downshift from 6th to 5th. But only downshift as on accelerating it's fine. No jerks of thuds!
Code comes up as
420631
GEAR MONITORING RATIO
GEAR SHIFT 6X0 NOT PLAUSIBLE.
Have changed the fluid and the filter.
Still persists!!
Shall I try solenoids ???
Your videos are excellent!
Thanks ShopLifeTV. It's great you share this information. I will be buying a Honda Ridgeline or Passport in 2020. Ridgeline's use the 6-speed while some of the Passport's use a 9-speed. Are these good or bad transmissions?
Great VID i have the 2 to 1 clunk in my f25 can i drive it like.it or have to some.work?
This is my weakness part when doing diagnostics. I diag for shops in my area and when a transmission issue comes in they right away send it to a transmission shop. So the very few I diagnose takes forever because of the research. Transmission are a different animal.
HI. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful.
I have a 2006 BMW 550i and it started to slip a bit. I took it to a chain brand transmission shop (starts with 2 A's)and they said that it was leaking fluid from the seal and they recommended that I replace the transmission. They provided me an estimate for the transmission replacement but not to fix the leak. They said they topped off the transmission, too. I took the vehicle home and scanned it with my cheap non-BMW scanner and got a code P0700. Or that is what I remember because my scanner didn't store the code. I cleared the code and now the car will not move under it's own power. Could this be the sleeve components are worn and need replacement? Could it be the solenoids too? I am thinking of replacing them all myself but don't want to invest $600 in parts if the transmission is shot.
Hello, thank you so much for your videos. I was wondering if you could help me. I recently changed the solenoids, sealing sleeves, and the bridge seal, now the only thing that works is the reverse. I have INPA software and the 4f81 code is coming up. I hear a rattling sound form the transmission sometimes it will catch for a second to go forward, and it will sometimes pull forward in manual mode 2nd and 6th just a little, enough to kinda pull back into the garage but it even stopped doing that.
Thank you for the informative video. What would you recommend? My 328i (2009) has stopped going into drive and reverse. My scanner is throwing (56BF EGS gears 1,2,3, and 4) plus (56BB EGS: 1,4,5,6) plus (56B8 Ratio fault R) Any suggestions? Thanks
Does the "thud or jolt" happening from 1st to 2nd while accelerating mean the same thing as when decelerating? Mine does it 1 out of maybe every 5 or more slow downs or speed ups
Penrite are doing a OEM direct replacement fluid for Lifeguard6 ATF its called Penrite ATF BMV full synthetic and it can be used in ZF transmissions. It costs a fraction of Lifeguard, around $10/litre saving heaps of money.
What about a dull grinding sound when accelerating in first and second but not third or fourth on an 2005 325 I e46 automatic transmission ?
Hi team,
I would like yo know if a ZF Transmission issue could cause that car won't start and not even crank.
I have an E90 2007 and our OBDII Scanners are detecting that car is in Drive shift, we have test another shifter gear in order to try if shifter was the issue but we have the same problem.
Great video! I will be doing the preventative maintenance on my ZF transmission. I bought a 08 3.0si e85 a few months ago. I know the owner before the guy I got it from did a bunch of stuff but not sure on the transmission. The guy I got it from only owned it for a little over a year and only put 1500 miles on it.
Man great video. 04 E60 525i, only 100k miles started slipping and going in to limp mode. Had input shaft output shaft rpm mismatch errors. Found a high end indy shop that said the clutches are toast. I guess it's not just solenoids then eh?
hi just wanted to know if you can clean a solenoid because my reverse gear is very jumpy i was going to repair it myself
I wish you can make a series of videos on the ZF8hp. Your videos are excellent.
I have an E60 535d, 2005, UK car. I have no fault codes but my car is slow to take up drive sometimes from a complete stop. If I boot it from standstill it will also sometimes stay in first gear and I have to let off the throttle so it will change into second gear.
Does that sound like it could be the sleeves? Or wrong oil level?
Thanks for the video, really helpful.
hi from australia , any ideas on why an 02 745i would all of a sudden only change gears at 4000 rpm and the manual paddle shift wont work ?
Should you reset adaptations after replacing all the seals?
lots of good information, thank you for sharing
Hi. I have 2008 335xi, I replaced all sleeves and filter as well. When I’m driving and I’m stepping on the gas hard the tranny is jolting and jerking on 3rd gear. Should I replace solenoids? Or it could be lack of oil?
Thank you
I have really enjoyed your videos and very detailed explaining. You are extremely knowledgeable.
I am looking to you for help after spending way too much money on failed diagnostics. I have a 2006 525i with Transmission Fault. I replaced fluids, transmission pan/filter, and all the gaskets between the valve body and transmission. I have codes:
CD99
CD9E
CD9D
CDB0
D358
A3AA
A0B1
Any ideas?
Hello, my car uses a 6HP26 transmission, in my country I could not found the ZF lifeguard 6, for that reason when I changed the oil I used a Febi bilstein 34608 that meets ZF specification. After oil change my transsmission start to “jerk” reducing from second to first gear. Before oil change I did not have this behaviour. my suspect is related to the oil level. In your opinion, where should I start to check on this case? Solenoid, sleeve, oil level? No fault codes are active or registered on TCM. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this informative and detailed video. I have watched the other two videos as well (solenoid change and mechatronic change).
I had a transmission issue, changed solenoids and the issue got fixed! However, now I have another issue --- my car vibrates when changing the gear from P/N to D/R. The vibration disappears after I move and accelerate.
In other words, it vibrates only when the car is on the D/R + Break pedal. The vibration worsens when I spin the wheel all over to left/right while parking.
Can this still be related to transmission? e87 the same transmission in the video.
Quick question. I hope you can help me. I have a 09 x5 4.8i with the zf6hp28x i have this jolt when coming to a stop i scan the car with a autel 908 scan tool and no codes of any kind on the engine or tranny, i did the fluid change and the sleeves and the block Bridge and no difference. I would like to know what you think about it. I also did adaptation on it. Is there a step that you have to follow after you do adaptation? Do you think I should re flash the tcm or egs... when i drop the pan it was nice and clean other the some powder in the magnet. Any help will be great. I love your videos keep it coming.
Damn bro you covered my issues with my e65 in less than 12 minutes I've been chasing this for a month now.
What issues were you having? I currently have a code for 4E25 for electronic pressure control valve 6.
Awesome videos - massively informative!! About to do my wife’s gorgeous newly acquired 2010 E64’s 60k service, among a few leaks!! 😢😢😢
ZF6 are really good transmissions if maintained well. Penrite have a very cheap alternative to the Lifeguard 6, called Penrite ATF BMV fully synthetic. I own 4 cars all with ZF6HP26 transmissions, after full service (all seals, valve body clean, etc) oil and filter they have all performed excellent with this new OEM replacement fluid, at a fraction of the cost.
Hii. From where did you get seals in Australia.
@@tharinduchathuranga4225 have to find out myself man, did you find a source in Australia for them?
all supercheap and repco have them, youll need around 6 litres if doing a full service
Hey mate great vid! I'm doing my gbox oil change but my only diagnostics tool is Carly and I think it doesnt have the option to check gearbox oil temp. Just wondering if you could give us an of how long it would take to warm up? I'm in the UK and current daily temp is around 5-10*C. Thank you
Great Great!!! Video. I have a 2004 BMW 525i automatic with the M54 engine. I'm assuming to ZP transmission. It doesn't go past 3rd gear on and off. For example one trip it will shift to all 6 gears and some trip doesn't go past 3rd. My code scanner says something about Solenoid D. Does solenoid D mean 3rd gear solenoid? Which part is this? Please help!!! The CTSC website only displays this part for the yellow one. EDS Solenoid.
HI Ankur, I own a 525i 2009 with Electronic gear shiftier, it gives a jolt or clunk when i start it up. Gear shifting is very smooth and there is not any other issue. Any advice ? Recently there was a transmission error and car was stuck in "P". My Mechanic changes the solenoid set and after that issue was gone. But this jerk at start issue stays..
Okay you said TECHNICALLY I'm suppose to get the egs coded.. what if the speed sensor on the EGS is bad & I need a egs.. how do untechnically get it coded or flashed then?
Excellent, informative video.
Hey I'm having problems with the transmission on my audi s5 where can I contact your shop?
hos hard is it to do the same thing on a 330xdrive e91 ?
do i have to remove drive axle or exhaust?
I HAVE THE E60 525I AND AND THE SAME ISSUE LIKE A JOLT WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS EXPLAINED BY HIM SO THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND I WILL FOLLOW AND GET THIS DONE HOPE IT WORKS
Anything???
Dude you're amazing! Thank you so much!
I replaced my bridge seal on a 2005 x5 4.4 engine ,6hp-26x . Now the car wont start any ideas the battery is good one year old ,checks out fine on a load tester. Car won’t turn over at all. 4wd light and abs are on . Any ideas?
Thanks Wes
I have a e46 325xi with an automatic (A5S390R) and it has a problem with a clunk noise when changing from second to first gear. What could be the problem? Mechatronic sleeve?
hi dear ...very help full video which one you share with us... I have bmw 320 I 2006 model ...but here in Dubai not available the zf mechatronic rubber bush ..and don't know the spare parts no...could you help ....
i have m54 bmw with zf6hp19 auto transmission. i have a 4-5 flare when the engine is pushed over 3000 rpm. What would you do about this one? Do you have any idea on how you would go about fixing it. It will set the 4f85 code if pushed hard.
Brother your world class hard to find a proper mechanic like you
Wowwowowo you answered alot of my questions i had.....very good video
Redline D6 is also good fluid for these transmissions. What about sticking accumulator pistons in the valve body?
I changed these sleeves on my ‘06 330I and still has the jolt between 2 and 1st gear when coming to a stop
I have a 2005 BMW 645ci and I'm getting that clunk between 1-2 gear like you described in the beginning of the video. And also sometimes it clunks in 5 gear also but other than that it shifts very smooth. Would you say it's the sleeves?
Tried to ask a question from your website. I am in Australia and it seems I couldn't proceed because I reside outside USA. My question relates to 2008 BMW 550i - last time i drove the car it spontaneously went from D to N and then to P and stopped. It did this 3 times in the space of quarter of
a mile. To restart i have to rev the engine a bit. I was able to drive home (about a mile) very gingerly without another occurrence. Would a Sonnax kit valve body rebuild help with this problem do you think? Chris
2004 545i with generic p0706. Waiting on cable for inpa/ista but praying after watching these that it's just low on fluid. Any suggestions would be great.
A 2011 335i is slipping 5th and 6th . Is that the torque converter?
Hi do you know what's causing that same issue with bump while downshift from 2 to 1 on a zf5hp24.
Hi, I have a e90 3 series 06, I got the valve cover,rocker cover and oil filter housing, done. The car, hesitates when accelerating and uphill and the idle its stable but low. Any idea what the issue might be? Thanks
I'd like to send you a video of what my 535i is doing... It's very very strange and I have a feeling it's rare symptoms.. basicallyit won't move anywhere in drive or reverse but when it's in neutral if you give it gas it will rev up to about 2,000 RPMs and slowly move forward. It also will not go into park.. any guidance would help. I know you said that the valve body is virtually never bad and it's always a solenoid sand seals. Have you ever heard of these symptoms?
Hey man I have a 09 335i e92 xdrive
My transmission will shift into 5th fear when cold but when the car is at temp it will not shift into 5th. Any suggestions? I really do not want to get a new transmission but it’s throwing a clutch fault when I check the code
Great video!!! Would replacing the sleves and fluid solve gear hunting?
Any need to do driving relearn process after resetting adaptations? I put new seals, fluid and pan.
Good nigth, Very biltful video
Is your other video the same as a automatic transmition like the sleeve and other things replacement ?
hey man do you know if all zf6hp24 solenoids are compatible with every car that has that trans? I have a 545 parts car, and a 750Li parts car, i have a 550i that goes into limp mode every time i hit 40-50mph. pretty sure its the solenoids
You are a excellent mechanic
I just did a fluid and pan/filter change
helped but did 'nt fix the problem. no codes
Hi thanks for the video..see I have bmw e90 transmission have no DTC but when I put D to drive car wont move..any advice?
Is there a part number on the ZF fluid and where do you recommend getting the valve, I have the ZF 6hP-28
