have you ever had to change the bushing in the stator that seals the E clutch i know they are common on the 6hps i have one that i built and it slips on the 3-4 shift
Gary , happen to have a BMW 330 ci 2001 model. No problems yet but they don't last forever. Your video is very descriptive and will be a great help in the future. Thank You.
Hello Gary, awesome video. I have a stupid question. Is possible to convert a fwd gearbox to a awd gear box? For example, using a Passat / A4 B5 manual fwd transmission and installing a transfer case to it. Thank you!
Hi Gary, I have a 2001 bmw 325i (ZF5HP19), Transmission stop working in reverse only, can slowly get out of the driveway by switching back and forth from drive/reverse. If it's the DG Drum what would be an average repair estimate? Thanks and thanks for your videos.
Hi Gary, Do you think there is a correlation between runaway pressure (aka worn out VB bore) and the pump bushing issue? If not, what do you think causes that and how do you prevent the same problem from reoccurring? Thanks in advance.
Gary, great video, Thanks so much. I would appreciate your thoughts on my Son's car which just went into limp mode. 2002 325ci. Drove to movie and all is well, leave movie and it's in limp mode. Before that, trans worked great. Now showing trans codes: 49 Gear Monitoring, 53 Gear Monitoring 3, 54 Gear Monitoring 4, and 114 Steptronic Switch. I did watch your full disassembly vid, and also the short one about "F" clutch and moved sleeve. Do the syptoms point to the "F" clutch issue? My thoughts are: Why all of a sudden with no warning? Now the trans is ALWAYS in limp mode (4th gear) - no shifting or even shift attempts. Could it be a sticky piston in the valve body. OR perhaps a bad solenoid? I did disconnect the battery to attempt a fresh start, but still in limp. Any thoughts?
So I have two passats that started making that loud whining sound, and the engine stopped instantly when turned off. One of them I replaced the converter bushing and the converter seal, but you know what I did? I forgot to put that 4 sided pump washer back in. Still makes the same sound but not as bad. I assume the seal is now restricting flow to the shaft. Does that sound about right? Would like a definitive answer before I pull it all back apart. Thank you
send me a picture of the part you left out. gsferraro@yahoo.com. Was anything wrong with the bushing or seal? do you hear the noise in park and neutral? do you hear the noise when the car is cold?
Hey Gary I have the same transmission. I’ve started to notice my rpm dropping then a couples days later I started to heard a noise it sounded like an air leakage but I could not find the problem. Then on the next day my car would not go anywhere then the gear light came on. I pulled three codes P0741 P0734 P01732. Do you think if I do a rebuild that would fix my problem??
Gary, I have the same exact transmission in my 2006 BMW 330i e90 sedan with 208k miles on it and the only problem i really have is rough downshift from 2-1 occasionally. I am planning to replace all the solenoids and purchase the sonnax zip kit and rebuild the valvebody. Since my transmission seems to be in pretty good shape i am debating whether is should do a full rebuild of the transmission by replacing all the bushing (what you are doing in this video) and replace the clutch packs just as a preventative maintenance. Do you think im wasting money with replacing the clutch packs and bushings? I am not having any clutch slippage that i am aware of..
Clutches do wear out and sometimes flake as well, with that amount of miles i would put new clutches in, check your F drum, make sure the sleeve did not move. Question, how are your engagements into drive and reverse are they harsh as well?
@@GaryFerraro Shoot I just realized that this video is on the zf5hp19, my transmission is the zf6hp19...would the same thing apply to my transmission? And yes I do sometimes notice rough engagements when going in to D or R from P, or from R to D and vice versa especially when on a hill. But I heard that it just means that my flex plate is bad...or what would you think it's related to. Thanks for your reply!
I have a 2002 Audi A4 with the ZF519. I am experiencing harsh down shifting from 5th to 4th gear after the transmission has reached operating temp. when slowing down and sometimes from N to D or N to R. Its normal when accelerating or shifting in manual when increasing speed. Any ideas or thoughts.
awesome video, i believe I have the same transmission in a 04 awd passat it has been slipping for a while especially if I'm on the throttle making a turn, the last couple days I heard a loud noise I went to ammco they told me my possible torque converter fail they would need take apart whole transmission $4600. any ideas on what I should do can't really afford another car at the moment or have anything close to 4k. Thanks.
Gary Ferraro I have not. seems kinda a tricky do I have to let the car and trans warm up? do you think buying a Tc and transmission from a yard is any good?
You will need a lift to check the fluid. Very possible you have a leak, i would check that first and if it is low, fill it to see if the slipping goes away. Im sure a used trans is not cheap for this car. Where are you located?
Hi there, great video! I am trying to rebuild my 5HP19 transmission and I can't find in the transmission rebuild manual the oil pump gears clearance in order to determine if my oil pump is in good condition. Do you happen to have that information?
Hey Gary I’m doing a rebuild on my trans same as this one but for some reason I watch your vids and few more and the B clutch is just falling out but when I took everything apart the B clutch is stuck with the rest of the pump any idea what holding me up

Hi Gary, on a 5ph19fla, where is park on the side of the transmission. Is it all the way forward toward the engine? I have to connect the shifter cable and want to make sure park is park. Thanks😂
@@GaryFerraro I already installed it and can get my hand in there to where they meet up, but my fingers don't have the strength to couple the trans to the cable. Might have to lower the back half of the trans to do it. I just forgot to put the cable on before I installed it ☹️
Gary are you still active on here? I currently have a passat with this same trans leaking from bellhousing but I can’t tell if it’s the seal inside the pump when looking at the face of the pump. Or if it’s my “input shaft seal” that sits behind the welded TC collar on back of the TC
Gary Ferraro is it safer to say that the seal that sits behind the TC collar (backside facing and is inserted into trans and trans pump? The bushing is the metal seal with a open face? Just trying to understand as I can’t very well tell where or how to pull apart the seal
I need to know how the parking prawl actuating rod is connected under the protective plate. Can you explain that? Does it just sit there or is it connected somehow?
@@GaryFerraro I don't have any hole in my pawl. It has a spring on the end of it and when it is in park, it pushes the pawl up. When not in park, it really does nothing?
@@MrCrc13 The spring holds it out of park , when this comes out of park the force of the spring push up on the pawl, there is a rod that goes through, you may not be able to see it
Greats vids Gary. I have this 6hp19 and I am getting a 2-1 thud or kick after driving on highway for a while. What could it be? I know u mentioned dampers in mechatronic can cause harsh engagement and disengagement. Have no errors and otherwise trans work great. Thx
This could be a couple of things, its usually either worn bushings or solenoid issues, have you checked the fluid level in the trans? if its full you may want to try a shift adapt reset and see how that works
Gary Ferraro thanks for answering my question. I just did a drain and fill along with bridge seal but not the 4 tubes and also reset the adaptions. The 2-1 thud starts only after highway driving. If bushings are worn, will it get progressively get bad until transmission dies or it is just a small nuisance? Thx again. Really cools vids, I just watch them with a cup of coffee. 😀
Gary Ferraro Car has 203k miles and problem started about 10k miles ago. Drained fluid was very clean. I’m definitely thinking about new solenoids. No code of any kind though. Thx again
Hello Gary, I need your help. I have a 2001 bmw 330 zf5hp19. I replaced all clutches, seals and replaced the two drums at the rear of the transmission. Still slips in reverse. I didn't play with the VB, only replaced the regulator valve (fix from kit). Solenoids checked out correct voltage resistance. What else can I look for?
ok, so in reverse, the B clutch and D clutch are only on in reverse, you may have to drop out the valve body and air check the clutch packs to see if one of them are leaking
Looks so easy hehe :-) :-D Just wondering if this is possibile to change all common problems with trans alone in simple garage not becouse something is wrong but just for precausion to not have any issues for later on road becouse something with R is happened to trans and sometimes from 4}5 or from 1}2 is not always workin properly... Great Video, question for mrs. Expert where or from who buy nedded parts updated for zf 5 HP 19 installed in Audi V6 diesel 2004 2.5L ?
I'm sure it can be done, but pulling an Audi transmission out is not so easy with the way they are set up. In my shop here in New York, i rarely get Audi's with the 5HP19, i get a lot of BMW
@@GaryFerraroIt can be done, IT will took at least two workin days, it's complicated a bit but yeah i've got big ambitions so not a problem at all please trust me Hehe, but Mrs. Gary are those trans similar? Tiptronic Nr 0986591 Nr 1060/030086 5hp19 FAD And Simple garage just to slowly work on this tiptronic. I wish to learn something when I will be doing it hopefully IT will work after repair well. I ve got friends in canada so shopping in USA it's not a big problem and shippin. Europe well Its not a problem to buy parts from Germany as well. But how to order them properly.
@@GaryFerraro well Its not one problem, when cold hot doesnt metter, sometimes when engine starts I put D drive and car doesnt change gear to second and only first is applied and that's the signal for me to stop the car and start Audi again and after restart works most the time ok. When I driving forward i've got 95 miles normally its time to fifth gear but tiptronik doesnt change to fifth gear and its silly and again I need to restart the machine but this not always is heppend. Most common problem is R reverse, when its time to park a car almost always gearbox after I applied R by hand- still havin leg on brake I need to wait a bit 2-3 seconds and I hear and feel as well something like shoot and car is going back but i ve got on screen all prnd on Red safe mode and again I need to restart Audi stop and start, the code in computer is about positioner. The brake is in my fellings as well bad becouse most time is going going going down and on diffrent trans in diffrent cars this doesnt heppen in my opinion, I mean opinion from just a user.
Hi Gary. This is a very informative video. I have a question that I'm hoping you can answer. I have a zf5hp19 that has been teared down. I have noticed that the f drum sleeve is pushed down. I was wondering where I can purchase one? Have any suggestions of where I can purchase one?
@@GaryFerraro Yes, it was giving me a bunch of codes but I can't really remember what they were. I started having transmission problems a while ago and hadn't been able to get to it until now. From what I can remember, I was having problems with what felt like the torque converter. Acting like it was stalling at first and then going into limp mode. I replaced the the torque converter, drove it and leaked all of my transmission fluid. Spun oil pump bearing. As I tore the transmission apart I noticed that the sleeve was pushed down. (only noticed after I seen your video)
Hi gary, I'm rebuilding a 5hp19 for my sisters '05 Passat tdi. It spun the pump bushing, luckily the previous owners stopped driving it the moment they noticed fluid dripping. I was interested in ordering parts from you or your supplier, I know at the very least I need and overhaul kit torque converter and pump. I would like to replace the frictions while I'm in there too(even though they don't look too bad on this trans). I believe my F clutch drum bushing is in good shape based on your vid about that. The D/G drum looks good too, although I understand that thing is sort of a time bomb if its not the updated one? is there and updated part number for that D/G drum so I could tell if mine is the newer one? Looking forward to your response, thanks!
Hello Gary. Great video, could I get a contact for you? I have the ZF 5hp19 in 2003 BMW 330i, it makes a thud from 3rd to 4th or 4th to 3rd while warmed up and throws a P0734 code (4th gear ratio). I would like to get it rebuilt. What is your location?
@@GaryFerraro I'm south central PA, that's a little to far for me drive to get a transmission rebuilt. Do you sell remanufactured transmissions that you would ship? If so what would the price be?
hey i have an e46 325ci it goes forward very slowly and its slipping and i have trans warning on the dash but it runs great on reverse gear what do you think is the problem?
Hi Garry, I have E46 325i 2002 with almost 150K KM.. I have problem with the transmission. Using the steptronic when selected n M 3 its automativally shift to gear M 4 and M 5 after that I got trans warning (gearbox symbol). I have scan and get error message 049 Symptom Gear Check, 054 Gear Check,and Gear Check 4 (ENP). I have watched your Gear Monitoring Video and I came to conclusion I have to replace F Drum. Please advise, thanks
Yes Gary its happened when the car is hot. Always happened after drive 13 to 20 KM. To overcome this situation before I decided to overhaul this transmission I use steptronic with max select on M 2 with max speed up to 60 KM/h. I tried to avoid using D drive as shifting gear faster from gear 2 to gear 3 when speed approach 40 KM/h and it goes to slip in gear 4.
Hi gary I have a gear monitoring 4 code I replaced the f clutch but I still have the same problem I checked the sleeve bushing and everything is ok where can I direct myself to now?
@@IoanPau you have to remove the valvebody, then you could try to get the pump out, if there is a problem with the bushing or seal, i recommend installing a new pump body and gears, it comes with new bushing and seal. The way this is set up is there is a clutch pack on the pump stator, this will come out with the pump, to reinstall, may have to pull front of the unit apart and reinstall everything at once
Gary is it possible. I can get you to email me so I can send you some pictures pretty sure my pump bushing walked and seized on the TC which mean metals shavings went through the tranmisson...... I need to swap a solenoid from my current car to my parts car as the parts car trans says it needs a solenoid c (3) sending it into limp mode
Hi. Great video. I have 5HP19 gearbox in my E39. One year ago I have replaced D/G Drum, becaus was broken. After repair gearbox slipeduring swiching from 2 on 3 gear. When i reduce gear from 3 to 2 is little punch. Do You have any idea for a reason ?
Ok, as far as the converter goes, there is a seal inside the converter that tears causing a converter code, the seal rides on the tip of the input shaft and seals converter apply oil. The 2-3 slip when hot, im thinking F clutch piston sleeve may have moved causing one of the 2 sealing rings to leak. When this sleeve moves you will get a slip in 3rd and or 4th only when hot.
Hi Gary, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. My project is a 2001 330i. It has a ZF 5hp19. I just rebuilt the engine and everything works great with no engine codes. The transmission seems to work properly also. I drove the car 100 miles then a leak developed. I took the trans out and am having a difficult time locating the leak. I believe it is the trans but am not sure because the fluid colors are similar between the engine and trans. I will know more once I remove the flywheel to inspect the rear main. This vehicle has 111,000 miles on it and I am going to rebuild the trans while I have it out as a precaution so I don't have to pull it again anytime soon. I am going to replace the following items. New pump, updated reverse drum, all gaskets, seals, molded pistons, frictions without steels, plastic pump tubes, updated Transgo regulator valve, updated f bushing which depends if I have the early or late style and torque converter. In your opinion, should i replace all the bronze bushings? How can I tell if I have an early or late style F bushing? Is there something I should replace that I haven't listed? Any advice on my project that will keep me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
These transmissions like to leak from the front, i would go with a new body and gears. I would also replace the F drum, the sleeve moves and will cause the trans to slip when hot. I would also go with a rebuilt converter. The bushings are generally ok, you may not have to change those. Go with an OE filter as well. The 3 main problem areas of this trans is the pump, F drum and the D/G drum(reverse). looks like you got everything else covered. Do you have a source for parts?
I am still looking for a source for the converter, rebuild kit and F drum. I also could use the selector shaft that hangs out the side for changing gears. I already purchased the pump, updated reverse drum and bushing kit. I am open to any source info. Thanks for advising me on my project.
I'm hoping you can help me out. I've got a 2000 323Ci with the ZF5HP19. I replaced a broken reverse drum. After Replacing the drum trans worked but had a ticking noise. Found i left out a shim between the B and C clutches. Removed trans put the shim in and put everything back together. Ticking noise is gone away but, now I have 0 gears, no fluid flow through the trans cooler lines and a P0720 Stall monitoring code. I have taken the pump apart. gears look good and the teeth that engage the torque converter are not damaged. I'm at my whits end I can't find anything physically wrong with any of the parts. Other searches show me that the DTC has usually been the Output speed sensor. I get a reading of 265 ohms (book I have on the valve body 292 - 358 ohms is the limits) but the book also says the TSS should be the same but im getting over 6 Mohms. Even tried a new wiring harness and get the same readings with a new TSS and OSS. I'm not sure what could cause no flow when I know the pump is working..
Gary Ferraro correct. Filled trans, started car and ran thought the gears. Went to top off fluid. Original Fluid level did not drop. Immediately started flowing out the fill hole
Eriksson industries in CT, they are a ZF distributor, they have the sleeves. You could google them or if you have trouble finding the number i have it, i buy from them all the time
@@BrandonVink The sleeve on the F clutch drum could have moved out of place causing a leak, if this is slipping there must be codes present, can you tell me what the codes are
I am rebuilding a version of this trans. Audi 5hp19FLA Quattro. I am at the front transfer unit which houses 3 large meshing gears. One goes through the long shaft of the trans, and has a bearing and thick shim. Second has a shorter shaft and a big spring that goes on before the gear is placed on. my question is, the spring forces the gear to set higher up (1/2") than the other two gears. once you tighten the housing, does that force the gear into place by compressing the spring? also what is the torque for that housing screws. Thanks.
If this is a quattro, there are double seals in one of the gears and also in a housing, these seals will now leak, new ones need to be installed and if it's not perfect, it will leak. I send the housing and the gear out to a ZF shop to knock the seals in for me and when you slide the gear into place (the one that takes the double seal) put something over the spline like a finger of a rubber glove to protect the seal or it will leak, Very very important to do it that way. Where are you located? I believe i torque those housing bolts down to 15 to 20 foot pounds
@@GaryFerraro I am in Detroit Michigan USA. I replaced both double seals. One inside the trans main housing that the front drive shaft goes through and the other one that goes on the back with the three meshing gears. I see what you mean about the front drive shaft going through the double seal with having some protection , (latex finger) to protect the splines. With the three meshing gears on the back, am I correct that the one with the large spring makes the gear sit up higher than the other two and that by tightening it up, it compresses the spring? Over a 1/2" higher. thanks for your help
@@bigshott9117 Yes, then the housing will pull it down. If those seals are not perfect, oil will leak through the weep hole, i send them to a shop that has special tools to knock them in so they stop right where they should. You can push the gear down with the spring correct?
@@GaryFerraro I will check when I get home, but the spring is about 1 1/2" in dia. Very strong. I'll see how much force it take to bottom it out . Thanks
@@GaryFerraro an Aha moment. I knew the spring was too far away to be compressed, so I looked for other things that might be in the way. On the inside of the trans is a plastic rotation sensor? It reads the points on a gear as it rotates. I undid the screw and took the sensor out and immediately the gear dropped down and there was just a little spring compression left upon tightening the front transfer case. That problem is solved. but that little black plastic sensor probably had a spacer in it so that it would just read the spinning gear, without that spacer, the sensor went too far in the hole and stopped the spinning gear from dropping down. Now I need a spacer. I guess I can measure and make one. wonder if you knew the thickness? Also, the double seal in the taller mesh gear, (ZF 0734319 604), I think that is the one you are referring to. where can one be purchased? I am getting close thanks to you.
In my place the mechanics will just change the input shaft seal, without replacing the whole pump, i geuss thats why it will be broken after just 10-25k kms after overhaul
@@GaryFerraro can we do assessment first before replacing the bushing? I watched your other video about some people tried to use oversized bushing, but it end up with a worst leak
@@GaryFerraro heh man i lost fluid but kept driving maybe too long. Now after a refill can't get 4th or 5th. Is it a case of replacing those clutches? Or will it be a full rebuild
I just recently put my ZF5hp19 back together after a rebuild. Only to find that is has no endplay on the pump shaft. I hear this is a bad thing? I’m going to open back up, however do know how I would set the proper endplay?
Being swamped with work is always a good thing! I'm sure I not only speak for myself, your videos are greatly appreciated & so helpful! I hope you enjoyed the holiday wknd!

have you ever had to change the bushing in the stator that seals the E clutch i know they are common on the 6hps i have one that i built and it slips on the 3-4 shift

The common issue with the leak is the pump bushing spins causing a leak from the front seal
Gary Ferraro is it safer to say that the seal that sits behind the TC collar (backside facing and is inserted into trans and trans pump?
The bushing is the metal seal with a open face? Just trying to understand as I can’t very well tell where or how to pull apart the seal
Gary Ferraro if it is the pump bushing then I would need a whole new SF trans pump then
I need to know how the parking prawl actuating rod is connected under the protective plate. Can you explain that? Does it just sit there or is it connected somehow?
There is a steel rod that goes through the parking pawl and a spring to hold it out of park
@@GaryFerraro I don't have any hole in my pawl. It has a spring on the end of it and when it is in park, it pushes the pawl up. When not in park, it really does nothing?
@@MrCrc13 The spring holds it out of park , when this comes out of park the force of the spring push up on the pawl, there is a rod that goes through, you may not be able to see it
Greats vids Gary. I have this 6hp19 and I am getting a 2-1 thud or kick after driving on highway for a while. What could it be? I know u mentioned dampers in mechatronic can cause harsh engagement and disengagement. Have no errors and otherwise trans work great. Thx
This could be a couple of things, its usually either worn bushings or solenoid issues, have you checked the fluid level in the trans? if its full you may want to try a shift adapt reset and see how that works
Gary Ferraro thanks for answering my question. I just did a drain and fill along with bridge seal but not the 4 tubes and also reset the adaptions. The 2-1 thud starts only after highway driving. If bushings are worn, will it get progressively get bad until transmission dies or it is just a small nuisance? Thx again. Really cools vids, I just watch them with a cup of coffee. 😀
It may get worse as time goes on and the car is driven, if it does start to get worse maybe try a set of solenoids. How many miles on the car?
Gary Ferraro Car has 203k miles and problem started about 10k miles ago. Drained fluid was very clean. I’m definitely thinking about new solenoids. No code of any kind though. Thx again
When you do that i would also change out the pan/filter as well
Hello Gary, I need your help. I have a 2001 bmw 330 zf5hp19. I replaced all clutches, seals and replaced the two drums at the rear of the transmission. Still slips in reverse. I didn't play with the VB, only replaced the regulator valve (fix from kit). Solenoids checked out correct voltage resistance. What else can I look for?
Forward gears are fine?
Gary Ferraro yes now they are. Before the rebuild all gears would slip with half throttle.
ok, so in reverse, the B clutch and D clutch are only on in reverse, you may have to drop out the valve body and air check the clutch packs to see if one of them are leaking
Gary Ferraro got it fixed, I had a bad connection at the solinoid. Thank you for your video and your response!
Hi Mr Ferraro congratulations¡ your videos are awesome¡¡ can you upload a 2002 isuzu rodeo tranny overhaul??
That should be a 4L30E, i have a teardown video on that , its out of a BMW
Looks so easy hehe :-) :-D Just wondering if this is possibile to change all common problems with trans alone in simple garage not becouse something is wrong but just for precausion to not have any issues for later on road becouse something with R is happened to trans and sometimes from 4}5 or from 1}2 is not always workin properly... Great Video, question for mrs. Expert where or from who buy nedded parts updated for zf 5 HP 19 installed in Audi V6 diesel 2004 2.5L ?
I'm sure it can be done, but pulling an Audi transmission out is not so easy with the way they are set up. In my shop here in New York, i rarely get Audi's with the 5HP19, i get a lot of BMW
@@GaryFerraroIt can be done, IT will took at least two workin days, it's complicated a bit but yeah i've got big ambitions so not a problem at all please trust me Hehe, but Mrs. Gary are those trans similar?

And Simple garage just to slowly work on this tiptronic.
I wish to learn something when I will be doing it hopefully IT will work after repair well. I ve got friends in canada so shopping in USA it's not a big problem and shippin. Europe well Its not a problem to buy parts from Germany as well. But how to order them properly.
@@kingstonwaves3480 Tell me once again what the problem is?
@@GaryFerraro well Its not one problem, when cold hot doesnt metter, sometimes when engine starts I put D drive and car doesnt change gear to second and only first is applied and that's the signal for me to stop the car and start Audi again and after restart works most the time ok.
When I driving forward i've got 95 miles normally its time to fifth gear but tiptronik doesnt change to fifth gear and its silly and again I need to restart the machine but this not always is heppend.
Most common problem is R reverse, when its time to park a car almost always gearbox after I applied R by hand- still havin leg on brake I need to wait a bit 2-3 seconds and I hear and feel as well something like shoot and car is going back but i ve got on screen all prnd on Red safe mode and again I need to restart Audi stop and start, the code in computer is about positioner.
The brake is in my fellings as well bad becouse most time is going going going down and on diffrent trans in diffrent cars this doesnt heppen in my opinion, I mean opinion from just a user.
what do you think the FLA trans weighs, 300lb?
sounds about right,
Hi Gary. This is a very informative video. I have a question that I'm hoping you can answer. I have a zf5hp19 that has been teared down. I have noticed that the f drum sleeve is pushed down. I was wondering where I can purchase one? Have any suggestions of where I can purchase one?
Where are you located? I think they are hard to find at the moment
@@GaryFerraro I'm located in Orange county Cali. Yes I've been having a hard time to locate one. Is there any way that it can be fixed?
@@randomkid3186 Is the F drum giving you a problem, trans slipping when hot, any codes?
@@GaryFerraro Yes, it was giving me a bunch of codes but I can't really remember what they were. I started having transmission problems a while ago and hadn't been able to get to it until now. From what I can remember, I was having problems with what felt like the torque converter. Acting like it was stalling at first and then going into limp mode. I replaced the the torque converter, drove it and leaked all of my transmission fluid. Spun oil pump bearing. As I tore the transmission apart I noticed that the sleeve was pushed down. (only noticed after I seen your video)
How much is a complete rebuild from you ? Thank you
What kind of car? do you know what the problem is with it?
Hi gary, I'm rebuilding a 5hp19 for my sisters '05 Passat tdi. It spun the pump bushing, luckily the previous owners stopped driving it the moment they noticed fluid dripping. I was interested in ordering parts from you or your supplier, I know at the very least I need and overhaul kit torque converter and pump. I would like to replace the frictions while I'm in there too(even though they don't look too bad on this trans). I believe my F clutch drum bushing is in good shape based on your vid about that. The D/G drum looks good too, although I understand that thing is sort of a time bomb if its not the updated one? is there and updated part number for that D/G drum so I could tell if mine is the newer one? Looking forward to your response, thanks!
I could hook you up with my supplier, where are you located?

hey i have an e46 325ci it goes forward very slowly and its slipping and i have trans warning on the dash but it runs great on reverse gear what do you think is the problem?
You could have an issue with the A clutch or the low sprag located in th D/G drum, this drum likes to break. Sounds internal
Do you have a scanner to see what codes are present?
okay thank you should i change it with another one?
no i did a mistake i took out the transmission and forgot to check the codes
Hi Garry, I have E46 325i 2002 with almost 150K KM.. I have problem with the transmission. Using the steptronic when selected n M 3 its automativally shift to gear M 4 and M 5 after that I got trans warning (gearbox symbol). I have scan and get error message 049 Symptom Gear Check, 054 Gear Check,and Gear Check 4 (ENP). I have watched your Gear Monitoring Video and I came to conclusion I have to replace F Drum. Please advise, thanks
Does this happen when the car is hot?
Yes Gary its happened when the car is hot. Always happened after drive 13 to 20 KM. To overcome this situation before I decided to overhaul this transmission I use steptronic with max select on M 2 with max speed up to 60 KM/h. I tried to avoid using D drive as shifting gear faster from gear 2 to gear 3 when speed approach 40 KM/h and it goes to slip in gear 4.
Sounds like F clutch drum sleeve moved
Gary Thank you!
Hi gary I have a gear monitoring 4 code I replaced the f clutch but I still have the same problem I checked the sleeve bushing and everything is ok where can I direct myself to now?
It only pops when its downshifting into 4th gear but I erase the code and drive normal until downshifting again
@@SuperAlexguzman Does this happen when the car is cold ?
@@GaryFerraro yes you could say so it's doesn't take much driving from a cold start maybe like half a mile
is there anyway to just change the bushing and the seal without dismantle the whole hearbox? I have one 2001 audi a8
You mean pump bushing and seal?
@@GaryFerraro yes, I was wandering if possible to change it without dismantle the hole thing out?
@@IoanPau you have to remove the valvebody, then you could try to get the pump out, if there is a problem with the bushing or seal, i recommend installing a new pump body and gears, it comes with new bushing and seal. The way this is set up is there is a clutch pack on the pump stator, this will come out with the pump, to reinstall, may have to pull front of the unit apart and reinstall everything at once
how much did this repair cost? i have the same issue on my 2003 325
I can''t remember but maybe 2500. or so.
Whats your trans doing?
the bushing spun in my front pump
@@Jthomas348 Thats very common problem
Gary is it possible. I can get you to email me so I can send you some pictures pretty sure my pump bushing walked and seized on the TC which mean metals shavings went through the tranmisson...... I need to swap a solenoid from my current car to my parts car as the parts car trans says it needs a solenoid c (3) sending it into limp mode
Hi. Great video. I have 5HP19 gearbox in my E39. One year ago I have replaced D/G Drum, becaus was broken. After repair gearbox slipeduring swiching from 2 on 3 gear. When i reduce gear from 3 to 2 is little punch. Do You have any idea for a reason ?
Does this happen when the car is hot?
Yes, when is hot. When is cold is little better, especially on winter.
Ok when hot, does it go into failsafe or set any ratio codes?
Gary Ferraro No. It's OK. Just got error code from torque converter- to much slip.
Ok, as far as the converter goes, there is a seal inside the converter that tears causing a converter code, the seal rides on the tip of the input shaft and seals converter apply oil. The 2-3 slip when hot, im thinking F clutch piston sleeve may have moved causing one of the 2 sealing rings to leak. When this sleeve moves you will get a slip in 3rd and or 4th only when hot.
Would this be technically the same for a 986 2002 Boxster 2.7l transmission?
Not sure what the 996 is but i just ran year,make,model and engine size through shopkey pro and come up with the ZF5HP19, is yours RWD

Hi Gary, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. My project is a 2001 330i. It has a ZF 5hp19. I just rebuilt the engine and everything works great with no engine codes. The transmission seems to work properly also. I drove the car 100 miles then a leak developed. I took the trans out and am having a difficult time locating the leak. I believe it is the trans but am not sure because the fluid colors are similar between the engine and trans. I will know more once I remove the flywheel to inspect the rear main. This vehicle has 111,000 miles on it and I am going to rebuild the trans while I have it out as a precaution so I don't have to pull it again anytime soon. I am going to replace the following items. New pump, updated reverse drum, all gaskets, seals, molded pistons, frictions without steels, plastic pump tubes, updated Transgo regulator valve, updated f bushing which depends if I have the early or late style and torque converter. In your opinion, should i replace all the bronze bushings? How can I tell if I have an early or late style F bushing? Is there something I should replace that I haven't listed? Any advice on my project that will keep me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
These transmissions like to leak from the front, i would go with a new body and gears. I would also replace the F drum, the sleeve moves and will cause the trans to slip when hot. I would also go with a rebuilt converter. The bushings are generally ok, you may not have to change those. Go with an OE filter as well. The 3 main problem areas of this trans is the pump, F drum and the D/G drum(reverse). looks like you got everything else covered. Do you have a source for parts?
I am still looking for a source for the converter, rebuild kit and F drum. I also could use the selector shaft that hangs out the side for changing gears. I already purchased the pump, updated reverse drum and bushing kit. I am open to any source info. Thanks for advising me on my project.
where are you located?
Augusta, GA
ok, i may be able to hook you up with my supplier here in NY and he could ship you the parts if needed.
I'm hoping you can help me out. I've got a 2000 323Ci with the ZF5HP19. I replaced a broken reverse drum. After Replacing the drum trans worked but had a ticking noise. Found i left out a shim between the B and C clutches. Removed trans put the shim in and put everything back together. Ticking noise is gone away but, now I have 0 gears, no fluid flow through the trans cooler lines and a P0720 Stall monitoring code. I have taken the pump apart. gears look good and the teeth that engage the torque converter are not damaged. I'm at my whits end I can't find anything physically wrong with any of the parts. Other searches show me that the DTC has usually been the Output speed sensor. I get a reading of 265 ohms (book I have on the valve body 292 - 358 ohms is the limits) but the book also says the TSS should be the same but im getting over 6 Mohms. Even tried a new wiring harness and get the same readings with a new TSS and OSS. I'm not sure what could cause no flow when I know the pump is working..
Giving the 720 code because the car is not moving, so this did not take the second fill? The 2nd fill is with the engine running
Gary Ferraro correct. Filled trans, started car and ran thought the gears. Went to top off fluid. Original Fluid level did not drop.
Immediately started flowing out the fill hole
@@Ordie76 Plastic tubes in place?

@@GaryFerraro i just got a new 5hp19 im going to install it Monday i just want to know whats wrong and maybe i can sel it if its an easy fix
I am rebuilding a version of this trans. Audi 5hp19FLA Quattro.
I am at the front transfer unit which houses 3 large meshing gears. One goes through the long shaft of the trans, and has a bearing and thick shim. Second has a shorter shaft and a big spring that goes on before the gear is placed on. my question is, the spring forces the gear to set higher up (1/2") than the other two gears. once you tighten the housing, does that force the gear into place by compressing the spring? also what is the torque for that housing screws.
Thanks.
If this is a quattro, there are double seals in one of the gears and also in a housing, these seals will now leak, new ones need to be installed and if it's not perfect, it will leak. I send the housing and the gear out to a ZF shop to knock the seals in for me and when you slide the gear into place (the one that takes the double seal) put something over the spline like a finger of a rubber glove to protect the seal or it will leak, Very very important to do it that way. Where are you located? I believe i torque those housing bolts down to 15 to 20 foot pounds
@@GaryFerraro I am in Detroit Michigan USA.
I replaced both double seals. One inside the trans main housing that the front drive shaft goes through and the other one that goes on the back with the three meshing gears.
I see what you mean about the front drive shaft going through the double seal with having some protection , (latex finger) to protect the splines.
With the three meshing gears on the back, am I correct that the one with the large spring makes the gear sit up higher than the other two and that by tightening it up, it compresses the spring? Over a 1/2" higher.
thanks for your help
@@bigshott9117 Yes, then the housing will pull it down. If those seals are not perfect, oil will leak through the weep hole, i send them to a shop that has special tools to knock them in so they stop right where they should. You can push the gear down with the spring correct?
@@GaryFerraro I will check when I get home, but the spring is about 1 1/2" in dia.
Very strong. I'll see how much force it take to bottom it out .
Thanks
@@GaryFerraro an Aha moment. I knew the spring was too far away to be compressed, so I looked for other things that might be in the way. On the inside of the trans is a plastic rotation sensor? It reads the points on a gear as it rotates. I undid the screw and took the sensor out and immediately the gear dropped down and there was just a little spring compression left upon tightening the front transfer case. That problem is solved. but that little black plastic sensor probably had a spacer in it so that it would just read the spinning gear, without that spacer, the sensor went too far in the hole and stopped the spinning gear from dropping down. Now I need a spacer. I guess I can measure and make one. wonder if you knew the thickness? Also, the double seal in the taller mesh gear, (ZF 0734319 604), I think that is the one you are referring to. where can one be purchased? I am getting close thanks to you.
In my place the mechanics will just change the input shaft seal, without replacing the whole pump, i geuss thats why it will be broken after just 10-25k kms after overhaul
if leaking it's usually a spun bushing
@@GaryFerraro can we do assessment first before replacing the bushing? I watched your other video about some people tried to use oversized bushing, but it end up with a worst leak
