The skinny piston looks similar to large coffee can. May would work pushing down evenly. Not sure though. You got it perfectly anyways. Great videos. Love your channel.
Hello Gary, thanks for the good videos, well got a one question for you, what would be the cause of low power more specifically on the GM5L40in first gear, like the car would need a bit of gas like 1200rpm to start moving! Regards
I have a problom with my 2003 318d bmw gm 5l40e transmission. Firs start after 5 and more hour parking, car doesnot move in D gear, firt ı shift to M1 and M2 after2 minutes driving the car, ı shift back to D and the the problem disappears. What can cause this problem
Bonjour, je suis de France, ou est-ce que je peux me procurer toute les pièces à changer pour une réfection complète de la boîte ? Merci pour tes vidéo c’est super ! 👍
Hey man I got a 2008 bmw 328i and I did my valve cover gasket and now my dash won’t show drive or reverse and won’t move unless I wait about 30 seconds and it won’t shift out of first . I checked my cables under my shift knob and nun are short . I had no transmisson problems prior the only think I can think of is the ignition coil ground stud is stripped so it’s not a super tight flush any recommendations?
@@GaryFerraro one of my ground has a stripped stud so it’s not tight but it’s grounded , also if I leave it in d it will move but I get two codes 5658 and a3aa . If those codes are appearing i also lose park on the dash and if I try to rev my engine the Roma bounce if I clear the codes everything returns to normal without having to turn the car off but I still don’t get d or reverse on my dash nor does my car respond to it unless I wait about 30 seconds in gear
@@GaryFerraro cf17 - lost communication with gateway - vehicle mode . Then if I put it in drive and once it moves it throw a A3AA fault and that fault makes my rpm act up and also doesn’t show park once I clear it my rpms are fine and park comes back
@@GaryFerraro and sometimes I get a 5658 code . The thing is I had no transmission problems prior to the valve cover it came as soon as I started my car
I have a traverse 2010 and once before, about two years ago it stop shifting, it only run on the third, with two signs on the dashboard on. I took it to the shop they fix it, and coast me a sum, now it's doing the same, I want to now what's wrong with it, so can you please advise?
I would need to know if any codes are present for the transmission, on this transmission, the computer is inside the transmission so make sure the transmission is scanned for codes
Sir, thanks for caring to look into this problem, I have checked the computer and it gave me this code only ( U0101:00 ) in the description "lost communication with TCM"
Ok, First thing i would like for you to do is shake the harness and see if you can communicate with the transmission, just had one here with that code and just helped out someone with that codes, both problems were wiring, but first check your fuses, there may be 2 of them. Where are you located?
@@GaryFerraro The fuses are okay they have been checked and nothing wrong with them, and please guide me to where is the harness located, and I am from Saudi Arabia, east. our time here is 3 am. thanks so much for the quick response.
Each to their own, but I can see why you were out of Transgel. A light coating on the piston, housing and tool is just as effective as building up an eighth of an inch layer. Consider the physics of this. This is a friction fit. Once you have passed each microscopic distance, the excess lube is just scraped off in one big glob. Just for shits and giggles, pull out the piston again and see the mass of gel left in the housing.
These special tools seem like a mafia racket. It looks to me like these things are made out of aluminum and ABS plastic. I think it may be time to fire up my lathe and 3D printer and force the price down.
Hey Gary, it's nice that you continue the good work, it is very important, maybe you should buy the tool for future installation.
A little pricey, i don't get that many of these to purchase the tool, if i'm forced to because i can't get it then i may have to, tool is over 1000.00

Now I love my ZF for its tapered piston seats 😀
Yes, Nice trans to work on
@@GaryFerraro Except the snap rings...

I don't really care for them but i won't turn them away, not to bad to work on

Thanks for watching
Good.
Thanks for watching
always following.
@@edersonmecanicadecarro Thank you
Where I can buy that plastic tools ?
They are very expensive, you can google 5L40 piston installers and see who sells them
@@GaryFerraro is possible to install without that tools ?
Good morning my friend the one that I use to install it is there Plasket red one how can I get that tool to buy
That is a pricey tool, over one thousand dollars
That is about $100,000 in Jamaica
I need a tool I have to purchase that tool to get the job done properly you have to buy good tools
@@constructivetv6436 correct, do you get a lot of the 5L40E, a lot of caddy's there?
@@GaryFerraro yes I get a lot of 5l50e transmission in my shop right now I have one to remove tomorrow

I'm sure it's not, it's the installing part that is the problem, rather have it slide into place without binding.
@@GaryFerraro it's always easier for others to tell you what should have done from the comfort of their living room. You know what you're doing. Nice!

Hello teacher
Hello 👋
These special tools seem like a mafia racket. It looks to me like these things are made out of aluminum and ABS plastic. I think it may be time to fire up my lathe and 3D printer and force the price down.
Sounds good to me, send me a set and i could try them out lol.
In that case, you are right, it's too much, really doesn't pay to buy it
