- So I've had to rebuild my transmission because it was leaking. This is part 3 of 3 videos that I will do on the subject. Check out the other parts here:
Part 1: • E46 ZF 5HP19 Transmiss...
Part 2: • E46 ZF 5HP19 Transmiss...
There should be 5 documents related to rebuilding the transmission in this dropbox folder:
www.dropbox.com/sh/g21ahp7i0f...
In that folder you will find the exploded diagrams for the valve body as well as instructions for the proper resistances for all the solenoids.
To see how to get the transmission in and out of the car, checkout my rear main seal videos:
• BMW E46 Rear Main Seal...
• BMW E46 Rear Main Seal...
I bought my rebuild kit from The California Transmission Supply Company, which was an authentic ZF kit and they had the best prices I could find:
www.thectsc.com/catalog/5hp19-...
Check out Transtar's website here:
www.transtar1.com/
In addition to simply buying absolutely everything you need from them, including rebuild kits and friction rings and the oil pump, etc, you can get every small part inside of the transmission as well, including the little plastic tubes for the oil pump. Be careful to save your o-rings because they only come in the rebuild kit, I believe. They were out of those as separate items.
If you need to rebuild your torque converter and don't want to let them do it for whatever reason (maybe you're not near them and it will cost too much to ship to them and back), you can also buy a rebuilt one from Torco Enterprise, which is in the Los Angeles area, and they also sell on eBay:
www.torqueconverter1.com/
I reference several other videos in this one, particularly those of Jeff Richardson, which I've created a playlist for:
• ZF 5HP19 Transmission ...
As well as this video from transmission builder Gary Ferraro:
• ZF5HP19 Gear Monitorin...
If anyone is wondering, here is the cost break down of the parts I bought (around Jan 2016):
Torque Converter $201.65
Oil Pipes $13.08
Rebuild Kit $179.95
Reverse Drum $92.00
F Clutch Drum $50.00
Friction Plates $120.00
Oil Pump $288.75
ATF Fluid $39.22
Grand Total $984.65

In the process of doing this right now. Was so helpful seeing you put everything back in so I could triple check that every valve and spring is in the right place and the right orientation.
Still kinda paranoid I might've messed one up haha
Thanks!
3 months later and shifts like a new gearbox :). Wasn't too difficult of a job either, the biggest pain is refilling it afterwards.
I'm very happy I found your videos on CZcams, you are helping many people!!
thank you 50sKid
Thank you for the Dropbox docs!!! Great videos, best ones I've been able to find!
i did like to thank you for your vids of 5Hp19,is very helpfull.without this vids,i was not trying anything on 5hp19.bravo.
My friend, I found your channel a week or so ago and I am constantly amazed. Your videos are professional quality, and you have given me the confidence to work on my own 2003 325XI. Please keep up the fantastic work! Thank you so much!
+Dale Yurk Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, I spent each night watching all the video, unfortunately I don't have E46 I have a E90. But I learned a lot stuff from watching your video, this gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks for your time to make these videos.
Good luck--your transmission will have differences
Dude! Awesome detailed job rebuilding your trans. I wish I would have kept my '01 325i. Loved that car! It was starting to have trans slippage problems as well as some other engine mechanical problems, some that I fixed and others that needed fixing. The trans issues are what made me decide to donate it after getting a different car. Didn't want to spend the money on replacing the trans. Had I watched these videos back then, I may have attempted rebuilding it. This is like Legos for me. Bookmarking your videos in the event I purchase another Beemer!
continue with the videos...you are amazing! i have a E46 328ci 1999 ..iam from Argentina....you realize a great job...dont stop it...
+alepaddle Thanks!
Great Video. You make it like so easy. Thanks. Look forward to watching all your videos.
the last one valve that is alone you put it up side the conector but in the firts part of the video this valve is looking to the right side so think is all good and a very good job.......i learn a lot and loosse afraid of doing this....thanks.....
awsome.....all your videos is excelent.......great work.......congratulations
Really, really a great job and video! Thanks for sharing!
+TTestamenTT Thanks.
Amazing video, thank you for the effort!!!!
Great video and job.
love your videos
I do not know if you are a Teacher but you would make a Good one Jason. Keep the videos coming mate . Excellent. Happy New Year. Garry
I'm not but thanks!
U r a dumbass...."
50skid you did a clean and amazing job amigo! I also live in by LAX just one question I thought you were going to replace also the springs in the valve body! Other than that I am amazed! Great job I am really proud of you!! Keep up the great job!
good job
Highlights of this video: 29:58 and 30:02.
Hi 50sKid… Your videos are extremely helpful and interesting to watch. Thanks so much for that…
I have a big leak in my 330CI through the harness plug o-rings. O-rings are no longer available anywhere. Don’t have the size and haven’t found it on the internet. If you have a suggestion, please let me know. Thanks!
great videos.you inspired me ,i decided to change the filter and transmission oil on my 07 530xi ,got all the parts but having trouble locating the fill plug ,looking for some tips .thanks
Merci infiniment tu es génial super
Warming plastic items with a hair dryer or low temp heat gun during removal will help the plastic stay more pliable and decrease the chance of it breaking.
thanks for you good video
Excelent thank you for you apport
That emmeffer looks scary, they say lifetime Trans fluid, but I doubt it, how often should fluid be changed, some people say it can mess it up but mixed info, you seem to be super knowledgeable, just put a check valve from another video of yours, but you've been helping me big time, props all the way!!!
I say change it but at the same time I must stress that I take absolutely no responsibility if something happens 😆
@@50sKid probably wait till it gets sluggish or troublesome, but by then maybe 2 late, they claim lifetime, just willing to bet their definition is convoluted, either way, appreciate the response, keep doing what ya do, you're one of the best out there👍
Very good instruction video. Do you know the gearbox ZF 748 automatic transmission box? If so, do you have any videos of this one?
Great video
My grandson’s 1999 Porsche boxster with a ZF 5hp, he drove it about 4,000 miles. Transmission blew out the front seal. I pulled the transmission, torque converter dated 2017. Bushing looked good, torque converter nose looked new. Replaced the seal, after 50 miles, it blew out again. Pulled it out again, took pump out, clutches and pump looked new. Took valve body apart, new orifices, gasket, check balls, ohm readings on solenoids good, all valves seem to move smoothly. New o-rings, seals, and bushing. Vent tube and hole between bushing and seal clear.
On test drive, shifts harsh between 2nd and 3rd, otherwise all else is good. He’s not sure if it was always like that.
Before he goes off to collage with it, should I look at something else?
What would cause the front seal to suddenly blow out?
Thanks, Jim
Great 👍
Thanks for the informative video!! I have the 6hp19 in my 330 but I learned good stuff from your lesson..btw, the dropbox link seems to be dead.
I just checked it (while not logged in) and it seems to be working.
@@50sKid I just tried it and it did not work for me.
Thanks for the info its as I suspected. I'm not sure which way to go I did order the same transgo kit and my trans guy will install it. But if it happens again were out alot of time and money. The is a Company in NJ. that claim they can rebuild my old one for about $4oo. but I don't know if they just put a kit in or actually rebuild it. Just got off the phone with that co. and they say the transgo kit will work unless the bore is really bad. So cross your fingers I guess. The kit comes with rubber o rings and teflon O rings which comform to the wear in the regulator bore. Thanks again. I'll let you know and I'm looking forward to your vid on this problem. This is the zf5hp19. Thanks
Chuck
I think a good transmission shop should own a sonnax vacuum test kit. I was watching the videos on their website last night. Let's you test the various parts of the valve body for how much air gap there is in the bores. Its actually not that expensive--about $220. That would confirm the problem.
I don't have the vacuum kit. If you want to buy the tool and send it to me with your valve body, that's a different story. ;-). I just bought the transgo valve myself and will do the video on it soon. I also think it should be fine if you have your guy install it on yours. Btw, another option for you would be to simply purchase a replacement casting of that particular section of the valve body (Transtar should have them). That way you know you're not dealing with worn bores.
Hello I have a problem with the gearbox pops up error 49 at a speed of 140km and falls into emergency mode what can it be caused?
Who are the Sadists that designed things like this ?
How you doing am working on my transmission I remove the valve body to install a shift kit but only install the springs without drilling the separated plates then the transmission shift right but the motor turns off so I reinstall the original springs and know just turns off when put in drive I also install the solenoids it shift great exept when I can you give me an idea what could be I would appreciated if you could help thanks
Bravo. So I'm wondering if there are any upgrade kits out there with different springs like on some GM and Ford transmissions that will firm up the shift points, etc. also I've read about the sonnax rebuilt a units. Any thoughts on that? Again a great video. Noted that you didn't lube the pistons as you put them back, but I guess they will be.l bathed in trans fluid soon enough right?
+Robert Laugherty This is an electronically controlled transmission. The springs have nothing to do with the shift points. Yes the valve body works on hydraulic pressure so it wouldn't do anything until it was full of fluid. I haven't heard anything about sonnax rebuilt units.
test bad solenoids when warm or hot for ohms, some tanny's heat up and thats when they act up to
i see some of them just test whether the solenoid is working if they are theres no need to rebuild the valvebody. mostly valvebody fail was cause by malfunction solenoid and most of them malfunction due to overheated , fry by the tans oil
Thank you so much for all of the videos. Are you by chance on any of the e46 forums? I’m west of LAX; not looking for wrenching help, just a fellow e46 friend! Haha! Doubt you’ll respond, but love to chat.
Hi! repair of zf 5hp19 BMW 523i is not present back speed. Before repair I was. In what the reason can?
Which ATF fluid did you use? Last time I changed the filter and transmission fluid on my car, I used Redline and even that was way more expensive than $39.22. And thank you very very very much for all these helpful videos!
+Sercan Ceyhan Castrol multi-vehicle import. About $20/gal at AutoZone.
50's kid!!!! your videos are extremely helpful. I currently have a 325i where my best efforts are made to be proactive on maintainenance. I'm currently at 175k miles on my 2004, 325i. I don't have any issues at all with shifting gears on my automatic transmission. My question is, should I change the transmission fluid to prolong the life of the transmission? The manufacturer says it's lifetime oil, but I wanted to check with your experience and understand what you have seen in changing the transmission fluid. please advise champ!
+Ken Yes change the fluid and filter.
k, my transmission after driving over 80mph tells me faulty code transmission, all sudden, but i turn the key off and on its drives fine, don't know what the deal?
Hi kid, I like your vids, and wish I had your transmission knowledge. I have a 2001 325i with the 5hp19 trans. and for the second time it has blown the D drum apart at the crown of the snap ring. The first one was proly in there who knows how long, when it broke the crown where the snap ring holds the clutch pack I still had forward gears just no reverse. The second time we used a standard D drum and it did it again with in 5 months. It has been suggest to me to get an upgraded thicker by 20k and rebuild the regulator O rings and piston and springs and what ever come in the kit (trans star) equal. Do you think this will cure the problem? Thanks. Chuck
Chuck I've recently began to wonder what the original cause of the busted D/G drum and spun out pump bushing was. I'm starting to realize that it might be because the pressure regulator in the valve body is getting worn and causing pressure spikes. The solution is to install an oversized valve to restore proper pressure. Check out this blog post by an actual transmission builder: forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=379182&page=3 (the VW passat also uses the 5HP19). Transgo makes a replacement valve that is supposed to cure the problem: www.transgo.com/products.php?prd=5HP19-PR&homeinclude=catalog&category_id=176&parent_id=175&product_id=267 -- I'm considering doing a video about this.
Hi, thanks for the videos! they are really helpful. one quiestion, when reassemblying the pistons in the valvebody, it has to be dry or with some lubricant/atf fluid? i have to rebuild my gearbox soon (it was acting funny till i change the filter, fluid and a trans-go pressure regulator and now its slipping in all gears when get warm and a torque corverter lock-up not working.. before the service i didnt have.. and not sure why all that happened) thankss!
Looks like he did them dry. I would contact a transmission shop, preferably one that does BMW's or imports and just ask them. Good luck!
Great Video!!! I have a few questions regarding cleaning all the parts:
1. What solvent do you use?
2. Do you just spray the parts and wipe them clean or do you let them soak in the solvent?
3. Can you pressure wash the valve cover body and cover plate?
Thanks in advanced!!
I believe I used lacquer thinner but you can use kerosene. I dipped them in the solvent (use proper gloves). You can pressure wash the parts if you want but there is no need--they are not that dirty because they are always sitting in oil.
You are great man! Thanks for the quick response!
Awesome video! About the cleaning... there is any problem using gasoline istead of kerosene or any other?
Jason, many thanks for your videos. Very helpful. My question to you is, I have a BMW 2001 325I transmission zf 5hp 19 this car does not engage any gear. I can see what gear is on the dashboard (PNRD+ -) the gear shift moves in every direction determining each position but transmission would not engage, and no sound at all. I already checked for something loose cables and everything outside and around the transmission and i've replaced the oil and the oil filter on the trans. i checked it with a scanner and it gave me codes with the motor 173, 174"lean" and 720.output ss. 1.the torque converte (BAD)2.the filter or seal(DIRTY) the one that looks like a black piece of paper that i saw in your video valve bady. Please give me a clue. any help will be appreciated.thank very much..
If you have a P0720 transmission output speed sensor code then replace the speed sensor and go from there. You can access it by taking the pan back off. You don't have to drop the valve body.
How i can find the document yo repair transmission? I a good video thanks and good job!!
Hi 50's kid, I've also watched Richardson's videos. So I'm extremely familiar with the ZF5HP19 (I've replaced my D drum) I've also rebuilt 2 valve body's with gaskets etc. My question is (I hope you know) the smaller valve body with the Shift (yellow) Solenoid attached to it has a tiny plastic insert with four protruding spikes/nipples on both sides of it, out of all the hundreds of pics I've took for reference wouldn't you know it forgot to document which side is up? Both sides our obviously different. Thx again!
Send me a pic of it on my Facebook. I can't picture what you're talking about off hand.
I have an issue shifting 3rd to 4th, scan error P0783, already change all solenoids, any advice?
Hi Jason. I dropped the pan on my 2001 e46 325ci. Reverse drum is done. Where do you suggest i get a rebuild with that d-drum in it?
I don't know if there is a company that even does that, that specifically puts the aftermarket upgraded part in their rebuilds. It's a DIY thing.
are those black gasket 2pcs?
My e39 unfortunately is still not running I'm chasing electrical/sensors issues...
How much would a set of solenoids cost?
Hey 50's kid you many not remember me but you've helped me in the past. My question is pretty straight forward. After gettin a new/used transmission installed in your e46 you have to reflash the onboard computer to read the new part right? They're telling me I have to get a new TCM because the vin on the newer part is married to the old car or something.. I wanna make sure I'm buying a good new TCM if that's the case but I don't know what to look for exactly? Also do I have to take apart the valve body and replace something in there?? Thanks for any help you can offer.
I don't know why you would have to change the TCM if you are installing the exact same transmission. The transmission doesn't have any computers inside of it that would cause the TCM not to work. The TCM would never know the transmission was changed as long as it was exactly the same kind of transmission.
Did you ever get a new tcm? Im in the same situation. Thanks
you are the fucking man
Where can i find all these tourqe specs
just a quick question where will I get e valve body service kit
check the description
i have a 2000 328ci, and i have no reverse. do you recommend rebuilding the transmission, or buying a different used one?
+Romell Blanks Rebuilding, if it's the ZF.
i buy the mechatronic and i pay to installed because when i stop i have hard downshift to 2 to 1 but after i some time it still have it the same trouble you have some recomendation?
+GIXXER404 I'm afraid I don't know what it could be just from your description.
Where are you located? How much would you charge to do my e46 transmission?
hi.. your videos are great help.. i always leant alot from them,also if u could help me as my transmission temperature rises and results in to slip mode .. once u delete all faults its ok until its over heats again.. could u help me with some pointers to start my repair. i have chked my valve body . stripped it open and its seem fine,,,
Thanks. Maybe pull your ATF oil cooler off and make sure it's not clogged? Blow the lines out, make sure they are ok. Make sure there are no kinks, etc. Actually... you know there is a secondary thermostat that controls whether or not coolant flows into the ATF cooler. It could have gone bad. It is located beneath the coolant expansion tank (you have to pull the tank to get to it). I would try changing that. I've got a video coming up soon on changing the radiator and expansion tank, and I do change that thermostat as well.
Do you have to dissasemble the valve body if you snapped one of the t40 bolts?
Upon putting the valve body back in I torqued it too much and snapped it at the threads. Is there any recomandations you have on getting it out to replace it?
the rebuild kit did not come with new springs?
It doesn't, no. Just gaskets and washers, that's what's normally replaced.
I have basically the same Valve body.I haven't ordered a rebuild kit yet.Where can I get a Diagram of where what Color of the little plastic Orface go where?.When I dissembled mine two fell and I am stuck till I can get a Diagram.
Check the links in the description. There is one link for 5 documents. It's the one called zf-4-5-speed-auto-valve-bodies.pdf. It has diagrams and descriptions of the orifice sizes. It doesn't have colors because there are different colors depending on the year of manufacture. I think they changed something along the way.
i can overhaul engines, but automatic transmissions are like rocket science to me, because i don't
have a clue how they work, let alone that i would have to overhaul one. If i would have to open
up one, parts would jump out, and then i wouldn't have a clue where they belong, so it would
become trash.
If you go in thinking like that, you're defeating yourself before you even get started. It's just a bunch of clutch drums and a valve body.
@@50sKid I'd really like to get my hands on a book that goes into the fluid mechanics of a valve body
Is this the same transmission as in my Range Rover sports Diesal HSE 2006 ?
I believe it has ZF-6HP26
hey sup Jason like your videos.. I got an x5 4.4 trans fail safe mode kick in on D...drop it down found the A friction plate burnt out but the B is fine..I don't go any further... Any advice what should I do or what should I check.that will cuz the A friction plate to burnt out
This guy has all your answers:
czcams.com/video/DsQqpkC8Xs4/video.html
czcams.com/video/RLOHh6vDjFo/video.html
Search that guy's channel for 5HP24 and watch all the videos he's got. Lots of great info from a guy who rebuilds them all the time.
do i need to reprogram the software after replacing the valve body.
No there are no computers inside the valve body.
so i don't need to erase the memory for the problem i have now after replacing the valve body? i have other question which my bmw 2005 530i drove excellent but after 50 mile and when i deaccerlter the transmission stick in one gear and then tells transmission fault, tarn the key off and on drive fine
after 193150 miles, i just changed the filter and oil on my e39, zf5hp19 transmission. and now i hv a P0741 code(torque converter clutch ) the car is shifting fine.. do you have any suggestions
Wow that is a lot of miles. If it were me, I would rebuild the valve body. But, I cannot say for sure that will fix this problem. I can only tell you the direction I would go in.
Yeah .. there's all this BS about Lifetime transmission. so i was hesitant to change the oil ..anywho... I commented on ur vacuum leak video earlier and i had codes PO174, Po171, and PO141..i bought that elm 327 u mentioned .. im going to attempt to mimic ur fuel trim video. The codes above are gone. except for PO174 and after the tran oil change i have also PO313,PO102,P1343 and P0741.. ill try to clean the tran sensor, and the MAF for now (clear codes and see if they come back).. i'm not sure how to approach the misfire issue in cylinder 1 (p1343).. i'm assuming that most of these codes are related.. any suggestion as to where to start..i feel like i'm sinking deep in quicksand here...thank you for your service in providing your time and knowledge.. pretty amazing of you.
lifetime of a 5hp19 are from factory 150000 km!!!!!!!!!!! that is life of that tranny!!!
9:19 LOL
An ant colony located inside the transmission
for some odd reason i cant stand to look at that valve body , those little passages look freaky
It looks like a metal maze to me. Which it kinda is.
Valves not piston
i like to see that wannebie BMW tranny rebilder if the tranny that a 3th or 4th gear code because its not something you can see !!!! you have to khow! his VB youtube is better than pipshow!!!
