- In this video, i teardown a 5 speed RWD caddy transmission called a 5L40E.This trans had no movement hot. There are special tools that are required to install the molded pistons, we will take a look at that next week. some weak points that should be addressed when working on these units are the pressure regulator valve and the Actuator feed limit (AFL) valve. I use Transgo Drop in Reg valve and oversized AFL Valve. Next week we will overhaul the valvebody and address the AFL valve, i Vacuum test it first then ream it for the oversized valve. Thanks for watching, Please Like, subscribe, thumbs up. Thanks all. Happy Easter

Now that is a snap ring! Always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely.. Much better than jeeps snap rings, that just break under normal operation.
Berlin says thank you again👍👍👍👍
Lots of stuff in that transmission, super challenging. Its cool you know the little tricks like bushings and stuff to check
Not bad to work on, need the correct tools to make it much better to work on
If all CZcams videos were like this one....CZcams wouldn't be considered a horrible option for reference
Good afternoon family. Thank you very much for your time and for sharing 🙏.
Thanks for watching
thank you gary
Man this video just explained so much. Haven’t drove my Pontiac g8 in 3 months because it stops accelerating after warming up, I’ll come to a stop and nothing. Turn the car off, let it cool down, and good to drive for another 5 minutes. No codes came up either. I’m afraid I’ll need a trans rebuild after watching this
Yes, you may need one. Problem is the filter is clogging up
@@GaryFerraro which means somewhere in the transmission there is failing components which is leading to the filter clogging , correct ?
@@MrStfu88 Correct
@@GaryFerraro hey isn't it just those rubber seals between the valve body and the body of the transmission.
@@aksgarage3230 yes
Thanks a lot for sharing a detailed teardown of this transmission. I am currently in the process of tearing down one from a BMW X3, and wonder if there are internal differences in the 5l04e transmission between the different makes and models (Like Cadillac, BMW X3, X5 etc ?) My reason for asking is that i have a X5 transmission in good condition and have (unsuccessfully) tried to find some information online if this would work as a replacement or not.
Caddy units are different from the BMW units,
Have the same year make and model but had a trans cooler line blow and bypassed radiator for external cooler. After flushing trans and filling back up it shifts hard and slips until the car is warmed up. What could possibly be the issue there? I thought gear wear from the fluid leaking but don't understand why it would shift fine when warmed up. any insight would he appreciated thanks
u should have a couple of eye hook bolts u can thread into weld nuts on table and use a ratchet strap to secure housing when removing that snap ring
Hmmm, Not a bad idea, thanks for the tip
@@GaryFerraro u b welcome
Hey I've got a 5l40e transmission valve body (plate code 378) with a broken 1-2 shift accumulator spring. I'm having a lot of trouble getting either a new single spring for that accumulator or a kit of all 4. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, the 5l40e gearbox jerks when changing gears from 4 to 5 and locking. 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear shifts fine, should I look for the reason in the mechatronics??
Please I want a book that explains the parts of this gearbox
Are those been to weak for 530d BMW E39 what's the weak points on these,what max torque please thanks
On average what do you charge to rebuilt the 5l40e? No removal or install. Thanks.
Hello how about a very good video, the big yellow tweezers what are they called? ,greetings from Mexico ❤❤
Another great video Gary. Is it just me or are the ZF transmissions so much better designed than the American transmissions, and seem easier to rebuild too, is that just me?
No, not just you, i agree 100%
@@GaryFerraro I know Ford used some of ZF designs and changed some things. How do their transmissions compare to ZF? Also have you seen any of those 10 speed trans yet?
My personal truck is 05 caddy srx 3.6, awd with borg warner 4476 t case, and 5l40e auto box. I found a bulletin, regarding trans output shaft \ tcase input shaft flanges, stripping out their splines due to corrosion. Any comment on that would be appreciated.
My truck makes a really scary driveline pop, when loading up on the throttle, from a stop. Im thinking tcase chain, those input \output flanges, front prop shaft, or maybe even hub n bearing n cv axle engagement.
I gotta get it on an alignment rack, and try duplicating the problem. Jackstanding the truck, i failed to duplicate.
Bulletin showed rust dust build up, once getting the tcase off. Supposedly new shafts are redesigned to accept an oring to keep water intrusion out! 😅
sounds like the chain is popping, if you pull the T-case off, you can clean up where it meets the trans and put some high temp grease, that will help
@@GaryFerraro I'm sure it is, as well. I added a chain replacement, when I sent the 5l40e off for a bench rebuild, about 60k ago. Sent the transfer case with the 5l40e. Valve body bought the farm, and I said additional complaint was driveline pop on hard load.
When I had on jack stands (about a week ago) I decided to do a drain and refill, and while the tcase was empty, I stuck a screwdriver inside the drain hole of tcase, to assess the chain slack, didn't seem sloppy....but who knows it could be the sprocket teeth starting to roll over for all I know.
The trans shop put gl5 (thick gear oil) in the tcase when they did a new chain (that's what came out last week). I decided to put dex 3 in it, to hopefully clean any junk inside, and I'm gonna try and drain that in next 1000 miles...figured the atf detergents might help lol. I just hate knowing that I found that gm tsb about the trans output shaft\ tcase input shafts stripping....
Maybe I am looking too much into it, without pulling it apart. That means, I need to literally cripple the truck for that diagnosis! 😁🤷
Thank you for the reply, either way. I'm just reaching on this situation because it's my personal vehicle. I've been in service, repair, diag, and electrical diag for >22 years. Always trying to listen to both sides of a coin haha
@@sidewayzmike correct, if you take off easy works ok? no popping sound
Hi, does anyone knows is there any (especially major) differences between these gearbox in: E39, E46, E38, E53? or are they the same and can be successfully swapped 1:1 independently of car's model and engine? I'm asking, because I need to replace malfunctioned box in my E39 530d and I was wondering if I can swaps it to box from E46 320d? I have read somewhere, that there's no differences at all - besides shaft connection (which can be simply use from old gearbox). But what about Hydrokinetic clutch? Does it the same type for all 5L40E, or depends the car's engine? Many thanks for any answer :-)
What's wrong with the transmission?
@@aksgarage3230 It doesn't want to go forward or backward - even though the lever is in the "D" or "R" position. Every 5 minutes it sounds like in the video I recorded.:
czcams.com/video/rsVqPpUVxDg/video.html
So, what do you think? can it be replaced with gearbox from e.g. E46 2.0d?
I have a problem finding diagrams for this transmission, the 5L50e. Mine is a 4WHEEL DRIVE GM of the model in the video. Would you happen to know where I could find that?
Wiring diagrams or transmission diagrams?
Great video I have the same transmission for some reason the solenoid c won’t fit all the way into the valve I’m not sure if the metal pin should be so pushed out any ideas ?
If the solenoid is in front of a valve, make sure the valve is all the way in.
I have tried gently pushing the valve in however it is stuck on as that is the reason I am changing the solenoid as well would I have to push in the valve with something?
@@twisted-sd2cz The valve is free?
Nope won’t budge at all so not sure if I should find something like a screwdriver and hit with a Mallot however I’m afraid it will instead make the problem worse so I’m not sure what to do
@@twisted-sd2cz those valves have to be free to move, if it can't be fixed and have free movement you will have to source another valvebody
May not get a reply but is this the same as the 5l50E
what kind of car?
Hi Gary I have a Discovery 3 with a ZF6HP26 I have had a gearbox repayment but they gave me one from a 4.0 V6 petrol I have a TDV6 diesel we fitted the box with the old converter as the petrol is only 3 boult and had the old converter rebuilt and had the valve body completely serviced. but the car sits in idle on full load only way to drive is to take foot off break and wait till car is moving before any gas Can you tell me if there is something different with the 2 box's spent to much money now I can only think to rebuild the old box. Regards Peter.
Any codes? There is a delay in drive?
@@GaryFerraro sorry so long in reply it has no codes yes a delay in drive every one beats be at the lights as have to wait for car to move off the accelerate but all time sitting at lights it is in full load have to brake hard to hold it back
once it going it runs beautiful even down shift to 1st all smooth
@@peterandrews7756 ok, question, does it delay or take off very slow from a light?
@@GaryFerraro take foot off brake it moves off very slow
I really like you video too bad for me it's in English , I have a problem with my gearbox that l redid it geos into forward gear and nothing for reverse gear
The reverse is fed through the TCC solenoid, have you tried a new solenoid? all forward gears are ok?
Good morning my friend what’s wrong with the transmission The torque converter feel
Converter must have blown, clogged the screen
Bonjour, j'ai la même bv pas de marche arrière
Translation please
worst transmission ever
I don't like working on these either. lol
@@GaryFerraro also the 5l40e is used in weird configurations. for example bmw m57 (410nm tq) and the trans can handle only 340nm
@@jaakko200987654321 Correct, used in Bmw as well, i did a couple of Caddy's
@@GaryFerraro my friends e46 has that trans, it has failed twice (sudden extreme slipping)
Shit I just acquired a caddy with a bad one in it.
