Hi..I have a bmw e90 2005 320d automatic with the zf 6hp19. I serviced the gearbox 12 months ago as it was surging off throttle .so I changed plastic pan/filter..bridge seal...4 tube seals and plug sleeve and reset adaptions.. this cured the surging problem.. I've never had any fault codes on the transmission .. but it occasionally seems to almost not hold a low enough gear when slow speeds 15/20mph and I get a chirping sound from underneath the car.. this sound also happens just before each gear change sounds like a crickets type sound. Also get some slipping intermittently... could this be the solenoids playing up? I'm thinking about replacing all the solenoids.. what do you think? Many thanks Lee
Do you know if the fill procedure is the same for a ZF6HP26 that is in my 2009 Hyundai Genesis with a 4.6L v8. I just replaced all solenoids, bridge and Sleeves with new oil pan. I have the lifeguard trans fluid that I will be using.
Thank you for your videos! Always so professional and informative. Quick question for you: Do you know if changing the fluid, filter and seals and ohm testing all solenoids will fix error 4F86 with 4F89? This is for the 6HP26. I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere and would really appreciate your advice!
Is it possible that diagnostics could not show faulty solenoid even if it is? I've been to automatic transmission repair service recently, diagnostics did not show anything. And they didn't do much else. But I've seen a video on youtube where one of the most common signs of faulty solenoid is a clunk sound at very low speeds when stopping the vehicle. And I often get that clunk sound when I'm decelerating to a stop sign or traffic light. It's between 2nd and 1st gear. Any thoughts?
It is possible yes, this is when the solenoid becomes mechanically clogged. So electrically it still ok but mechanically it's not, that may not set a code
Hey Mr Gary. Where do i get the snap rings from for the drums and center support. I ordered some but their like an inch big lol. Cant find them no where. Only thing left i need.
Hi, you seem to be knowledgeable at this. I am debating whether to replace the mechatronic unit or just the solenoids. Are all of the (accumulator?) pistons supposed to push in and out via spring action? On my ZF6HP19 mechatronic, some pistons don't move at all. Specifically, in my unit, there are 5 pistons with cotter pins on the underside (assuming top side is where one can see the solenoids), 3 of them facing the right, 2 facing the left. The smaller 2 of the 3 facing the right, push in and out with spring action pushing them back out. The third, being the bigger one, with a bigger radius, is stuck, does not move. The other 2 pistons, facing the left are stuck, do not move. Looking at the edge of the mechatronic, opposite to the edge where the solenoid valves are, there are 6 pistons with cotter pins, 2 on the longer part that's protruding, they both push in and spring back out (one of them is deeper in, but still can be pushed with a finger), and there are 4 on the shorter part, by the tab that reads 1068327179. Out of these 4, the 2 smaller ones, to the left, push in and spring back out. The 2 to the right, with bigger radius, are stuck. Is this normal, or the pistons that are stuck are bad and I need a new mechatronic unit? Thank you very much for your time.
Have you ever come across inaccurate ohm readings due to the circuit or solenoid not being under a load? I've seen this with higher amperage harnesses & circuits, such as maybe the harness for a fuel pump. Tested fine when ohm'd but would open under load. Just wondering? Thanks! Another great video!
I dont really see to much of that, i do see on transmission solenoids that test good when the solenoid is cold but not when it heats up, thanks for watching cuba, have a great day
My apologies. I messaged you on another video, but this is the Mechatronics unit I have; the 6HP19. I have a 2004 BMW 525i approaching 182k183k miles. I changed the solenoids at about 118k. Should I consider doing an overhaul?I also have a 2008 528i that, when cold, hard shifts into gear from a stop (such as sitting at a stop light). Have you experienced this issue with customers before and was it mechatronics related?
Thank you for the great videos. I recently changed the solenoids on my 2003 BMW 745li. But now the car is stuck in neutral. Will not engage in park and when reverse is engaged, the vehicle goes forward. Could you please help me.
Hey Gary, i have a 6hp26 that had a bad solenoid that made it stuck in limp mode. I rebuilt the mech unit and installed all new solenoids with new aftermarket cheap ebay plastic filter pan and new fluid then cleared all adaptations. Now it has delayed engagement (almost 2 sec) and transmission whine that gets higher pitch as i accelerate. Could this be the cheap plastic filter pan thats restricting flow? gear all shift smooth and quick and no delay into reverse.
Certainly sounds like there is something going on with that filter, that is probably the whine your hearing, you really have to start there, How much was the pan/filter you bought?
@@GaryFerraro its a bmw with the plastic one. Should i buy the metal one and if so i read there was a different method of filling since it holds more fluid. Is that true?
Great video sir! my 2006 BMW e90 with 150k miles is due for sleeve replacement since is leaking. Most likely do the solenoids and seals as well. Subscribed to your channel.
Gary great video ! . my 6hp19z transmission drives good , a little sluggish in shifting on normal driving it pulls hard in spirited driving WHILE in gear .. but in between shifts lags like it doesn’t know what gear it’s going into and then drops hard back into the previous gear .. this happens in any gear that I try to do pulls . sometimes goes into limp mode and locks me in 3rd gear could that be caused by the sealing sleeves or solenoids?
Gary I have a 5HP24 with traction problem in L1, I used KTS 340 and visualized solenoid 4 with 168mV and the others with 700mV, is this solenoid 4 is with problem? can you tell me what voltage is in use? and what is the resistance pattern?
Hi Gary. Great videos! My 6hp26 has a small shift flare sometimes under mild to moderate acceleration. Maybe 100rpm flare. No fault codes have illuminated the mil yet. Had a fluid change about 5 months ago. 140000 miles. Do you think a valve body clean and zip kit would help reduce the flare? Or could it be a worn stator bushing on the pump? Could the solenoids be a little slow causing the delay in shifting? Thanks
Gary Ferraro actually it's not isolated to one shift. Can be 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5. It is probably a bit more pronounced during 3-4. Sometimes I get a slight bump 5-6. Regards. I'm going to double check the fluid level tomorrow. It was checked by a tranny specialist about 3 months ago but you never know. All looks dry underneath the new sump. I'm prepared to install the zip kit parts if necessary. No delays or thumps when selecting R or D. During coasting down there can be some engine braking between downshifts also. Sometimes feels like a manual when you use the engine to brake.
Gary Ferraro Hi Gary. Not sure if I understand the second part of your question sorry. I do see the small flare once on each up shift under acceleration. Less if I accelerate harder. If I anticipate the change and back off the gas a little then its hardly noticeable. I'm thinking of removing the valve body this week to inspect the parts inside. Just to note I do have a rear reluctor ring that is just very slightly warped. Planning on addressing that later this week. I have a new ring to install. Many thanks for your time.
Can the transmission position switch move freely? I replaced the valves and filled but car won't start. I'm thinking I moved it might have moved it out of place when aligning the stem when reinstalling. 06 530i
Great video! Thinking about tackling a solenoid kit on my 325i soon because I have hard downshifts from 2-1. Your videos are always informative and well done!
@@GaryFerraro I've done that a few times just for testing purposes and the weird part is that the hard downshift goes away for a day or so after the reset but always comes back. If a solenoid was bad wouldn't it stay after a trans adapt reset?
@@tvguy12346 when you reset shift adapts your erasing the history, so it will adapt all over again, if it only last a couple of days, something is wrong inside the trans, could be solenoids or even bushing wear, couldn't hurt to install new solenoids. question, are the downshifts ok when cold and not when hot?
@@GaryFerraro the downshifts are not as bad when cold compared to hot but are definitely still there. I can make them less noticable by slowing down to around 8mph and coasting to below 5mph before braking to a stop, if that helps.
Very professor 'ish video. Great job. I have the same transmission?? 2005 530i. I have 365,000 miles on it but sometimes I get a strange shift, it's not often and it seems like its always on a incline where it thinks it made the right decision, but it's nut sure. I have changed fluid maybe 3 times over the life of this car. I'll probably wait to it throws a code. Otherwise it's been a great trans.
hello everyone I own bmw e90 zf gearbox 318d, it shifts perfectly until I drive up hills, sometimes shifts more aggressive like Jerking from 2 to 3 gear. I did oil change and gearbox reset.. should I be worried about it ? thnx
Thanks for this great video I have a question when removing the vavle body how do you tell which bolts hold the valve body to the transmission case Thanks in advance
On this trans, the bolts that hold the valvebody to case are torx 40 size and the bolts that hold the V/B together are torx 30(or 27) Plus the head of the bolt is larger
I have a tool that will issue protons brand of turkey istanbul, model 1998 Mitsubishi motor motor vehicle automatic gearbox problem I'm working, but I'm not moving very slowly an automatic transmission did new car, but cıktı solenoid problem does occur, how do we solve, you must help me
What were the symptoms, if any, or just showed a code? Im in the process of doing this myself, and being in Australia it is costly process. My symptoms were severe jerking in drive and reverse at low speeds. To the point were you couldn’t go past 2000rpm without it jerking severely. It jerks also at idle with foot on brake.
I have a foxwell diagnostic tool. It says that transmission management no faults, however it comes up with JBE junction box electronics and in codes it says A6CF/present--JBE AUC sensor.. Did you mean your vehicle was in safe mode or mine?? Any help would be great. Thanks. I cant see why the auc sensor would give me symptoms I have, but the Jbe is concerning. Whether this controls any trans movements i dont know..
Gary Ferraro codes do come back after a few minutes. Im sure i scanned the trans correctly or as much as my tool will allow, i have no other means of testing as the vehicle will not travel. Im just doing a few more checks today and replacing the solenoids, seal sleeves etc in tranny. I do know their is a common issue with the wires feed burning at the rear of the JBE. I will check that today if time and weather permits. Its going to be a hot 110 deg F today and we have fires Im keeping an eye on a few miles away, we are at a state of emergency. So Ill see how i go. Its all happening down in the land of Oz at the moment😀. Cheers. Ill keep you up to date.
Replaced solenoids, seal sleeve, the 4 smaller seals at the top of the valve body, replaced bridge seal, pan/ filter and replaced the correct trans fluid. Still have same issue. Checked for codes, says their is a dme not present. Tried clearing codes thinking that they were old ones. Now car wont even start, cranks but no start. I think i may have wiped the software from the ecu accidentally. Do you know how you can restore or reset the ecu? Or the car has gone into immobiliser mode.. I don’t know at this stage. The car was running fine right after i replaced a bad coil, when i cleared codes it all went pear shaped.
Hello Gary. I recently bought a BMW 2004 525i with the 6hp19 giving some problems. When you don't accelerate quickly, it shifts ok, slips a tiny bit, but still shifts. When I want to go fast, it feels like it completely slips and I have to let go of the gas, and it puts a transmission failure on the screen. since then, I took the pan out, the fluid was very bad, very gunky and black but no metal shavings. Tested the solenoids the same way you did and they all were good apparently. I took the valve body apart, and those rubber dampers are completely flat. One of the poles that are spring loaded seemed to be a bit damaged with some small scratches. I'm going to order the dampners and pray that that fixes the problem
I also ordered the pan and the usual replacement parts , except for the 4 sleeves that go over the valve body. Should I replace that too? They don't look bad
Gary Ferraro wow thanks for the quick response! Yes I mentioned 1 code already, P17E9.Ratio monitoring 4-5. Also a generic code, P0700, transmission control system(Mil request). Actually I just double checked and the first code is gone, idk why it is gone. Transmission is taken apart so idk how to make it appear again
Im running a zf 6hp 26 thats been leaking fluid out of the breather tube after short runs. Its not going into fail safe mode , Im getting no fault codes and the gears change smoothly. Its not been overfilled and service was recently done. What could be causing this overflow from the breather tube?
thank you for the video, you explain every step very nice and make your work look easy but i know it isn't and your experience speck for itself. Your videos helped me change the oil pan, oil, square seal and sleeves on a 6hp19. What could it be when shifting from 2 to 3 it have a noticeable shift like is a bit aggressive. I must say that this jerking did it before the changes and after oil change. I added 6.5 litters ZF 6 lifeguard. Sometimes do this jerking some time don't and most notable is in sport mode.
@@GaryFerraro i did as you told and for the first 25 km he was jerking in 1-2 2-3 3-4 then shifting is smooth in all gears even in sport. Thanks for the tip and for your time. Wish you all the best !
Nice, the valve body overhaul looked pretty easy, I am going to get the Sonnax kit for the next service on my ZF6HP26, plus bridge seal and four valve body to trans seals and mechatronic sleeve plus new metal drain pan. Should be fun. I found a replacement oil called Penrite Multi Vehicle Fully Synthetic ATF BMV which replaces the super expensive Lifeguard 6 transmission oil and can be used in ZF8 and 9 transmissions as well, costs just $10 AUS a litre. One of my cars with the ZF6HP26 trans has harsh shift up from 1st to 2nd and from 5th to sixth, have you any idea if this is a solenoid problem or valve body problem?
@@GaryFerraro I will have a look and get back to you. The trans I pulled out was slipping badly in second gear, I fitted this second hand trans and put the valve body and mechatronic unit from the old trans into it initially only to find it did what the old trans did (slipped in second gear). So, I assumed the valve body had an issue and I put the valve body which came with the second hand trans with the mechatronic unit from the old trans and it goes fine apart from the harsh 1st to 2nd and 5th to 6th. When I get the opportunity I will check for codes. My initial thought was that the mechatronic unit had adapted to compensate for the slipping second gear by adapting the change quality?
Hi Gary thanks for the very informative and precise videos, learnt a lot from them. I changed the bridge seal, oil and oil pan on a zf6hp21 on a 2007 530i which was jumping to park as the bridge seal was broken. The car now drives fine but as soon as it tries to engage the 4th gear it gets transmission error 4F85 and at times 4F89. Could this be due to the faulty 4 sleeve seals or the rear stator bushing gone bad ?
Hi gary, when I hit My pedal to accelerate hard, I get a trans malfunctioning message but i can turn off turn on Its okay again well Yesterday it did it again then pulled Code p17E5 ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT 09 bmw x6 i35 XDRIVE

So great and easy to understand video , Thank You !! Also , can jave a help? My sin's 2006 530i has rhe CODE P17EC ... I feel like the problem could be some of those Solenoid Valve because on the road song a noice and the screen shown the problem with the transmission , taking the scanner pluges on I erase the code and inmediatelly the car songs and drive exellent as should. Please enlight me and if haa aome video will be great !!
I have a 2008 528xi that was giving me transmission malfunction errors(Drive moderately, continued driving possible) after driving for a little while and coming to a hard stop, it wouldn't come out of park once I tried to switch from drive to reverse..I would turn off and turn back on and it was fine until i came to complete/hard stop again. Yesterday, my mechanic and I used a zf kit and replaced all the seals, pan, and trans fluid, as well as the solenoids for good measure while we were in there. After putting it all back together, it seems to be shifting and running much smoother, but now my issue has flipped! instead of not coming out of Park, I cant put it into park! it is driving much better, but when i stop and hit park it gives me a transmission malfunction saying park is unavailable...I've just put it in neutral and pulled the ebrake for now. Any idea what else it could be?? Any insight would be helpful, thanks!
ok, so im assuming you had the valvebody down to change the bridge seal, something must have happened going back up with the valvebody. or the park release cable may be out of adjustment
Hi Garry. Could it be possible that the sleeves are bad if the transmission struggles to go into 4th gear and gives the following error code: 4f89 ratio monitoring gearshift 3-4
There is a company called Sonnax, go to there website and you can search the 6HP19 section, they sell the bushings, i recommend pressing the bushings in
Hello, by any chance you know a part number or a link to a website to get an input speed sensor for a BMW 750I 2009. plan to do some DIY on the transmission but i recently got an error about " Transmission Fault Code: 400626 - Turbine speed sensor short circuit to ground or open circuit"

@@GaryFerraro yea I had cleared sometime ago like 2 months ago but earlier this week, I got it again and this time the shift felt hard and rough. Eg. When I put it on R it jerk a bit
Those are kinda like Ford 6R80s. Good idea to change fluid in those, dirty fluid causes solenoid issues. Probably a 60K oci is a good idea. At least they are easy to work on.
Keep doing what you doing love it I have a bmw 2004 525i my problem that iam having is it not accelerating at the right time when it supposed to keep causing the transmission to go in safe mode all the time what do you think could be the problem thank you any help appreciate.
If the trans is going into safe mode, can you tell me what codes are present, the transmission will need to be scanned, the computer is inside the transmission
Hi Gary from my 2004 bmw 525i I dont have any code showing up at all iam curious by any chance do you think it could be the solenoids that need to be changed or need to change the fluids .

I have a 2006 330i with the zf6hp19 transmission sitting at 130k miles. I'm doing a transmission service because I have a leak. I also get a bump from second to first when coming to a stop. And when I'm flooring it onto the freeway I'll get an insanely hard shift into 4th, or maybe its 5th but it's fine there if I drive normal. I'm assuming some of this may be due to low fluid. I'm installing a new pan and filter, new fluid, mechatronic seal, taking out the valve body and replacing the 5 seals above it, and the solenoids. Relfill fluids with the proper procedure and reset adaptations. I just found out about this sonnax zip kit. Is this something I should do as well? I have no transmission fault codes.
I honestly never used the zip kit. A common issue with this trans is bushing wear, when the rear stator bushing is worn effects the higher gears (4th,5th,6th). Before you pull this apart you may want to check fluid level if it's low fill it and drive the car to see if anything changes. sounds like a good plan of what you want to change, that may fix it up, solenoids are a big problem on this trans too.
@@lyasamusic3241 im curious as well on what exactly causes it. I did the service mentioned above and the bump from second to first is gone and so is my hard shift into 4th, or was it 5th? I didn't get the zip kit due to time constraints, kind of wish I did, but the service still did wonders. I have read on forums that the solenoids cause it, but I have also read someone saying that they got the software updated on the transmission at bmw and it went away as well. If that's cheap to do, maybe try that first? At 130k miles, my fluid was nasty, so I'm glad I did the service regardless. Maybe I'll also get the software update as well.

@@sanadelmegrahi7538 Sounds like the bridge seal is broken, this seal is inbetween the valvebody and pump, it takes hydraulic pressure to keep it out of park, if the seal is leaking, you will loose that pressure and the trans will jump back to park. Another thing that can cause this problem is low fluid level
Excellent videos Gary Ferraro: I like all your videos the best videos on the youtube. I have request if you can show the proper way to refill the transmission fluid in these BMW'S specially 750li (2008) the ZF fluid is very expensive . The complete transmission kit is 780$ that's if to do by yourself dealers charge to much. The transmission oil pan complete kit by (ZF) it had 10 quarts in the box. When I drained this time from my car it was about five quarts (5) then what to do with the rest it's not refundable. This is my second BMW 750LI (2008) This one sometimes will not reverse sometime it will jump like as someone hit you from backside. It has long wheel 22 inches base. The car is in mint condition inside out. Also the battery is brand new and it does not hold charge I have to boost every week. when scanning the error code P0732 transmission fault.
These ZF units have to be filled from the bottom, you really need a pump to refill these units. There is a 8mm or 10mm(i think thats the size) usually on the left side above the pan rail. with the engine off you fill it til the fluid runs out, then you start the car and fill it again til the fluid runs out. P0732 is a gear ratio error in 2nd. Do you have the reverse problem hot or cold. How does the car upshift and downshift?
Dear Garry, first thank you for this great videos and information we have a problem with a BMW E60 528i in morning if the car is cold then cant go from P to D only some trying later it works if the engine is running for a moment then the trans go from P to D the error code is 00507B Parking Sensor implausibly The second issue is when the trans is cold there is harsh shifting but after the trans is heat it shifts normal. Hope you can give some advice Thank you

I've never had any fault codes on the transmission .. but it occasionally seems to almost not hold a low enough gear when slow speeds 15/20mph and I get a chirping sound from underneath the car.. this sound also happens just before each gear change sounds like a crickets type sound. Also get some slipping intermittently... could this be the solenoids playing up? I'm thinking about replacing all the solenoids.. what do you think?

Is it possible that diagnostics could not show faulty solenoid even if it is? I've been to automatic transmission repair service recently, diagnostics did not show anything. And they didn't do much else. But I've seen a video on youtube where one of the most common signs of faulty solenoid is a clunk sound at very low speeds when stopping the vehicle. And I often get that clunk sound when I'm decelerating to a stop sign or traffic light. It's between 2nd and 1st gear. Any thoughts?
It is possible yes, this is when the solenoid becomes mechanically clogged. So electrically it still ok but mechanically it's not, that may not set a code

Hi, you seem to be knowledgeable at this. I am debating whether to replace the mechatronic unit or just the solenoids. Are all of the (accumulator?) pistons supposed to push in and out via spring action? On my ZF6HP19 mechatronic, some pistons don't move at all. Specifically, in my unit, there are 5 pistons with cotter pins on the underside (assuming top side is where one can see the solenoids), 3 of them facing the right, 2 facing the left. The smaller 2 of the 3 facing the right, push in and out with spring action pushing them back out. The third, being the bigger one, with a bigger radius, is stuck, does not move. The other 2 pistons, facing the left are stuck, do not move. Looking at the edge of the mechatronic, opposite to the edge where the solenoid valves are, there are 6 pistons with cotter pins, 2 on the longer part that's protruding, they both push in and spring back out (one of them is deeper in, but still can be pushed with a finger), and there are 4 on the shorter part, by the tab that reads 1068327179. Out of these 4, the 2 smaller ones, to the left, push in and spring back out. The 2 to the right, with bigger radius, are stuck. Is this normal, or the pistons that are stuck are bad and I need a new mechatronic unit? Thank you very much for your time.
Have you ever come across inaccurate ohm readings due to the circuit or solenoid not being under a load? I've seen this with higher amperage harnesses & circuits, such as maybe the harness for a fuel pump. Tested fine when ohm'd but would open under load. Just wondering? Thanks! Another great video!
I dont really see to much of that, i do see on transmission solenoids that test good when the solenoid is cold but not when it heats up, thanks for watching cuba, have a great day
My apologies. I messaged you on another video, but this is the Mechatronics unit I have; the 6HP19. I have a 2004 BMW 525i approaching 182k183k miles. I changed the solenoids at about 118k. Should I consider doing an overhaul?I also have a 2008 528i that, when cold, hard shifts into gear from a stop (such as sitting at a stop light). Have you experienced this issue with customers before and was it mechatronics related?
On the 525I are you having any problems with the trans? 2nd car, your having hard upshifts? like the 1-2 and 2-3? any codes?
Thank you for the great videos. I recently changed the solenoids on my 2003 BMW 745li. But now the car is stuck in neutral. Will not engage in park and when reverse is engaged, the vehicle goes forward. Could you please help me.
sounds like you didnt hook up the manual valve
Gary Ferraro thank you. I now see what you mean.
Hey Gary, i have a 6hp26 that had a bad solenoid that made it stuck in limp mode. I rebuilt the mech unit and installed all new solenoids with new aftermarket cheap ebay plastic filter pan and new fluid then cleared all adaptations. Now it has delayed engagement (almost 2 sec) and transmission whine that gets higher pitch as i accelerate. Could this be the cheap plastic filter pan thats restricting flow? gear all shift smooth and quick and no delay into reverse.
Certainly sounds like there is something going on with that filter, that is probably the whine your hearing, you really have to start there, How much was the pan/filter you bought?
@@GaryFerraro it was cheap like $29
@@EngineInformant wow, yes first thing, i would change that out
@@GaryFerraro its a bmw with the plastic one. Should i buy the metal one and if so i read there was a different method of filling since it holds more fluid. Is that true?
@@EngineInformant The fill method will be the same, fill/check plug just above pan rail. Did you price out an OE pan, may be able to get one on-line?
Great video sir! my 2006 BMW e90 with 150k miles is due for sleeve replacement since is leaking. Most likely do the solenoids and seals as well. Subscribed to your channel.
How is the trans working? is it just leaking? are you familiar with installing solenoids in this trans?
Gary great video ! . my 6hp19z transmission drives good , a little sluggish in shifting on normal driving it pulls hard in spirited driving WHILE in gear .. but in between shifts lags like it doesn’t know what gear it’s going into and then drops hard back into the previous gear .. this happens in any gear that I try to do pulls . sometimes goes into limp mode and locks me in 3rd gear could that be caused by the sealing sleeves or solenoids?
If it goes into limp mode, can you have it scanned to see what codes are present
@@GaryFerraro I will have it scanned ASAP thanks
Another excellent video thanks Gary .
Gary I have a 5HP24 with traction problem in L1, I used KTS 340 and visualized solenoid 4 with 168mV and the others with 700mV, is this solenoid 4 is with problem? can you tell me what voltage is in use? and what is the resistance pattern?
Do you have any codes? on these transmissions the solenoids rarely go bad
Gary Ferraro no have codes, just gear monitoring
@@leonardoquintanilha5333 Well that is a code, do you have a code number?
Hi Gary. Great videos! My 6hp26 has a small shift flare sometimes under mild to moderate acceleration. Maybe 100rpm flare. No fault codes have illuminated the mil yet. Had a fluid change about 5 months ago. 140000 miles. Do you think a valve body clean and zip kit would help reduce the flare? Or could it be a worn stator bushing on the pump? Could the solenoids be a little slow causing the delay in shifting? Thanks
On what shift do you feel the flare 3-4?
Gary Ferraro actually it's not isolated to one shift. Can be 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5. It is probably a bit more pronounced during 3-4. Sometimes I get a slight bump 5-6. Regards. I'm going to double check the fluid level tomorrow. It was checked by a tranny specialist about 3 months ago but you never know. All looks dry underneath the new sump. I'm prepared to install the zip kit parts if necessary. No delays or thumps when selecting R or D. During coasting down there can be some engine braking between downshifts also. Sometimes feels like a manual when you use the engine to brake.
Just checked the level and colour. Spot on at 40c. Golden and sweet smelling. Didn't see any sign of discolouration.
Ok, question, do you get the flare on each shift or it flares once on a shift
Gary Ferraro Hi Gary. Not sure if I understand the second part of your question sorry. I do see the small flare once on each up shift under acceleration. Less if I accelerate harder. If I anticipate the change and back off the gas a little then its hardly noticeable. I'm thinking of removing the valve body this week to inspect the parts inside. Just to note I do have a rear reluctor ring that is just very slightly warped. Planning on addressing that later this week. I have a new ring to install. Many thanks for your time.
Can the transmission position switch move freely? I replaced the valves and filled but car won't start. I'm thinking I moved it might have moved it out of place when aligning the stem when reinstalling. 06 530i
The switch should move free, it slides back and fourth. Do you have a scanner that shows live data?
Thanks for video. I have a question: what is moment in nm to tighten the screws of mechatronic? Greetings from Poland
It's 89 Inch pounds or 10 nm , I did this on conversion chart
I have a bmw 530i 04 and it won't move in drive or reverse.. what is the problem? plz help
Great video! Thinking about tackling a solenoid kit on my 325i soon because I have hard downshifts from 2-1. Your videos are always informative and well done!
After solenoid replacement, you must do a shift adapt reset or it will work the same
@@GaryFerraro I've done that a few times just for testing purposes and the weird part is that the hard downshift goes away for a day or so after the reset but always comes back. If a solenoid was bad wouldn't it stay after a trans adapt reset?
@@tvguy12346 when you reset shift adapts your erasing the history, so it will adapt all over again, if it only last a couple of days, something is wrong inside the trans, could be solenoids or even bushing wear, couldn't hurt to install new solenoids. question, are the downshifts ok when cold and not when hot?
@@GaryFerraro the downshifts are not as bad when cold compared to hot but are definitely still there. I can make them less noticable by slowing down to around 8mph and coasting to below 5mph before braking to a stop, if that helps.
@@GaryFerraro i have hard shifts on my zf6hp21 that accentuate when trans gets to operating temp. What does that point to?
Very professor 'ish video. Great job. I have the same transmission?? 2005 530i. I have 365,000 miles on it but sometimes I get a strange shift, it's not often and it seems like its always on a incline where it thinks it made the right decision, but it's nut sure. I have changed fluid maybe 3 times over the life of this car. I'll probably wait to it throws a code. Otherwise it's been a great trans.
BMWLane Wow. Lot of miles. Can’t believe the solenoids are still good

I have a question when removing the vavle body how do you tell which bolts hold the valve body to the transmission case

Did you mean your vehicle was in safe mode or mine?? Any help would be great. Thanks. I cant see why the auc sensor would give me symptoms I have, but the Jbe is concerning. Whether this controls any trans movements i dont know..
@@gregmyatt9932 If you clear the codes do they come right back? You did scan the transmission correct?
Gary Ferraro codes do come back after a few minutes. Im sure i scanned the trans correctly or as much as my tool will allow, i have no other means of testing as the vehicle will not travel. Im just doing a few more checks today and replacing the solenoids, seal sleeves etc in tranny. I do know their is a common issue with the wires feed burning at the rear of the JBE. I will check that today if time and weather permits. Its going to be a hot 110 deg F today and we have fires Im keeping an eye on a few miles away, we are at a state of emergency.

Replaced solenoids, seal sleeve, the 4 smaller seals at the top of the valve body, replaced bridge seal, pan/ filter and replaced the correct trans fluid. Still have same issue. Checked for codes, says their is a dme not present. Tried clearing codes thinking that they were old ones. Now car wont even start, cranks but no start. I think i may have wiped the software from the ecu accidentally. Do you know how you can restore or reset the ecu? Or the car has gone into immobiliser mode.. I don’t know at this stage. The car was running fine right after i replaced a bad coil, when i cleared codes it all went pear shaped.
Hello Gary. I recently bought a BMW 2004 525i with the 6hp19 giving some problems. When you don't accelerate quickly, it shifts ok, slips a tiny bit, but still shifts. When I want to go fast, it feels like it completely slips and I have to let go of the gas, and it puts a transmission failure on the screen. since then, I took the pan out, the fluid was very bad, very gunky and black but no metal shavings. Tested the solenoids the same way you did and they all were good apparently. I took the valve body apart, and those rubber dampers are completely flat. One of the poles that are spring loaded seemed to be a bit damaged with some small scratches. I'm going to order the dampners and pray that that fixes the problem
I also ordered the pan and the usual replacement parts , except for the 4 sleeves that go over the valve body. Should I replace that too? They don't look bad
Oh also the code P17E9 showed up
Do you know what codes you have?
Gary Ferraro wow thanks for the quick response! Yes I mentioned 1 code already, P17E9.Ratio monitoring 4-5. Also a generic code, P0700, transmission control system(Mil request). Actually I just double checked and the first code is gone, idk why it is gone. Transmission is taken apart so idk how to make it appear again
I looked online and could not find any information on that code.
Great video and info. Can you post a link where to purchase those rubber damper? Thanks.
Im running a zf 6hp 26 thats been leaking fluid out of the breather tube after short runs. Its not going into fail safe mode , Im getting no fault codes and the gears change smoothly. Its not been overfilled and service was recently done. What could be causing this overflow from the breather tube?
I would double check the fluid on this this. Also make sure its not running hot, do you have access to a scan tool that shows live data?

thank you for the video, you explain every step very nice and make your work look easy but i know it isn't and your experience speck for itself.

Nice, the valve body overhaul looked pretty easy, I am going to get the Sonnax kit for the next service on my ZF6HP26, plus bridge seal and four valve body to trans seals and mechatronic sleeve plus new metal drain pan. Should be fun. I found a replacement oil called Penrite Multi Vehicle Fully Synthetic ATF BMV which replaces the super expensive Lifeguard 6 transmission oil and can be used in ZF8 and 9 transmissions as well, costs just $10 AUS a litre. One of my cars with the ZF6HP26 trans has harsh shift up from 1st to 2nd and from 5th to sixth, have you any idea if this is a solenoid problem or valve body problem?
are you getting any codes?
@@GaryFerraro I will have a look and get back to you. The trans I pulled out was slipping badly in second gear, I fitted this second hand trans and put the valve body and mechatronic unit from the old trans into it initially only to find it did what the old trans did (slipped in second gear). So, I assumed the valve body had an issue and I put the valve body which came with the second hand trans with the mechatronic unit from the old trans and it goes fine apart from the harsh 1st to 2nd and 5th to 6th. When I get the opportunity I will check for codes. My initial thought was that the mechatronic unit had adapted to compensate for the slipping second gear by adapting the change quality?
@@cliffharrington6500 scan for codes in engine and trans, if any record them, clear them and reset shift adapts

Gary Ferraro what do I need to do the shift adapt or wutever after I change the solenoids?
I have a 2008 528xi that was giving me transmission malfunction errors(Drive moderately, continued driving possible) after driving for a little while and coming to a hard stop, it wouldn't come out of park once I tried to switch from drive to reverse..I would turn off and turn back on and it was fine until i came to complete/hard stop again. Yesterday, my mechanic and I used a zf kit and replaced all the seals, pan, and trans fluid, as well as the solenoids for good measure while we were in there. After putting it all back together, it seems to be shifting and running much smoother, but now my issue has flipped! instead of not coming out of Park, I cant put it into park! it is driving much better, but when i stop and hit park it gives me a transmission malfunction saying park is unavailable...I've just put it in neutral and pulled the ebrake for now. Any idea what else it could be?? Any insight would be helpful, thanks!
ok, so im assuming you had the valvebody down to change the bridge seal, something must have happened going back up with the valvebody. or the park release cable may be out of adjustment
Hi Garry. Could it be possible that the sleeves are bad if the transmission struggles to go into 4th gear and gives the following error code: 4f89 ratio monitoring gearshift 3-4
yes, its very likely thats the problem

I have a 2006 330i with the zf6hp19 transmission sitting at 130k miles. I'm doing a transmission service because I have a leak. I also get a bump from second to first when coming to a stop. And when I'm flooring it onto the freeway I'll get an insanely hard shift into 4th, or maybe its 5th but it's fine there if I drive normal. I'm assuming some of this may be due to low fluid. I'm installing a new pan and filter, new fluid, mechatronic seal, taking out the valve body and replacing the 5 seals above it, and the solenoids. Relfill fluids with the proper procedure and reset adaptations. I just found out about this sonnax zip kit. Is this something I should do as well? I have no transmission fault codes.
I honestly never used the zip kit. A common issue with this trans is bushing wear, when the rear stator bushing is worn effects the higher gears (4th,5th,6th). Before you pull this apart you may want to check fluid level if it's low fill it and drive the car to see if anything changes.
sounds like a good plan of what you want to change, that may fix it up, solenoids are a big problem on this trans too.

@@lyasamusic3241 im curious as well on what exactly causes it. I did the service mentioned above and the bump from second to first is gone and so is my hard shift into 4th, or was it 5th?

I have read on forums that the solenoids cause it, but I have also read someone saying that they got the software updated on the transmission at bmw and it went away as well. If that's cheap to do, maybe try that first? At 130k miles, my fluid was nasty, so I'm glad I did the service regardless. Maybe I'll also get the software update as well.

Excellent videos Gary Ferraro: I like all your videos the best videos on the youtube. I have request if you can show the proper way to refill the transmission fluid in these BMW'S specially 750li (2008) the ZF fluid is very expensive . The complete transmission kit is 780$ that's if to do by yourself dealers charge to much. The transmission oil pan complete kit by (ZF) it had 10 quarts in the box. When I drained this time from my car it was about five quarts (5) then what to do with the rest it's not refundable. This is my second BMW 750LI (2008) This one sometimes will not reverse sometime it will jump like as someone hit you from backside.
It has long wheel 22 inches base. The car is in mint condition inside out. Also the battery is brand new and it does not hold charge I have to boost every week. when scanning the error code P0732 transmission fault.
These ZF units have to be filled from the bottom, you really need a pump to refill these units. There is a 8mm or 10mm(i think thats the size) usually on the left side above the pan rail. with the engine off you fill it til the fluid runs out, then you start the car and fill it again til the fluid runs out. P0732 is a gear ratio error in 2nd. Do you have the reverse problem hot or cold. How does the car upshift and downshift?
Great clip
Thanks James

Does this valve body have balls and springs inside? does the repair kit comes with a diagram? This is the first time I am trying to attempt a valve body overhaul. also, what king of chemical could I use to clean the valve body?
I really appreciate your feedback.
@@gattube Ok, when you say kit, do you mean solenoid kit?
@@GaryFerraroNot the solenoiid kit I meant. The sleeves, pressure valve and other componants that would come with the sonnax kit
Also, could you please give me a price for rebuild the 6hp19 valve body, if I could send it to you?

@@GaryFerraro yes, inpa 3.01, I make reset parametars of zf, (filling pressure, clutch A is 207, B -43, C -22, D -67, E 127 mbar, before reset). Nothing succeeded with reset.

Owner before me make full restoration zf on 150k km, now is 170k km.Thank you in advance. Regards.
@ when you did the reset did it get better and go back to the way it was?

Mine is a GA6HP26Z and did the same, also it used to shift rough 1st - 2nd and vice versa from time to time. Mechanic did an adaptation reset few months ago and it's been buttery smooth ever since.
