Hey 50's kid!!!! I have to tell you my friend.....you are definitely my hero!! I'm just a guy who grew up in nyc that never picked up a wrench to do any mechanic work until I turned about 20 years old!!! since watching all your videos... bro I've built up the confidence to repair anything on my car and I've successfully done so because of all your videos....definitely keep up the awesome work....thanks for inspiring me my friend! I look forward to seeing more of your work. keep the videos coming. Cheers to the 50's kid!!!! take care partner!!!!
Same comment...represents my thoughts and appreciation of his contribution to the novice world. Thank you Sir! Question? Can I put a ZF5HP19 in an E32 BMW 730i whose original is ZF4HP22? I bought one without a transmission. Please advise 🙏?
Im impressed by the time and effort u put on into this car. From editing the video, setting up camera, giving us the links etc. Showing us what mistakes youve done. Thanks for sharing the video and thumbs up.
Wow 50's kid, I am impressed. I work on my 2004 e46 and now my daughter's 2009 e90. But I have never had to drop a transmission. Really am impressed that this was done on jacks in a garage.
Having a transmisión problem Is what got me to your videos... I have to say that the isues of my transmisión actually felt like they were starting to give me health problems... You the 50s kid , are a healer... Thanks for the vives and Energy that you aré sharing trough your experience in your videos. For real youre not only helping people to fix their transmisión...your also helping people not to lose their health becouse of their experience related to fixing their transmisión. Thanks..
Excellent video, I will be rebuilding my transmission after seeing this, Great job!! This gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks for your time to make these videos.
Thanks buddy, I don't have words to express how thankful I am to you, now I dare to buy used BMWs, I love the car its just that, maintenance cost, they are so great car. Not many are willing to take that challenge. I am from Singapore, so cars are so expensive to own.
Hi, you are just amazing. I admire your patience. And.....THANK YOU Thank You many times. I got the manuals and I am very mechanical. But your videos are what got me through this and decided to get back into BMW. Because...when they run...they do perform so nicely. So balanced. So fun. Again. THANK YOU. You a very talented teacher as well. Not sure what your back ground is....but....I don't think I ever found better videos for such projects. Here is my E46 story. Short version. Bought a 2002 330Ci with 188k miles knowing it had no reverse gear. Paid only $ 2,000. Considering the body is in perfect shape and the 1 owner car was maintained to perfection at a local BMW dealership can't loose much, right. In addition the previous owner already replaced about every hose and about every suspension part there is. Rides like new. ATTENTION: Rebuilt the transmission. Got a new oil pump of ebay. I didn't pay attention. Some Chinese crap. Saying something about 3 year warranty. Didn't even realize its Chinese. I found out they buy or gather the broken ones and rebuild them. Of course improperly. Guess what. I am in the process starting over. This time with a ZF OEM oil pump. But when you see that the convertible has a counter balancing battery mount to offset body vibrations you know...it is German engineered alright. Unfortunately Engine threw out a rod bearing. No idea why. It was very cold here in Chicago. May be that had some to do with it. So, replacement engine of eBay with only 72k miles going in. Does it ever end? Hope so. Spent more car working on this thing than anyone driving it. Literally. And it is more expensive than I thought. Liked the BMW feel after so many years of not having owned one. Got myself a 2008 M6 with 40k miles and that beautiful V10.
wow! took the plunge and watched these two videos! great work! when you got it all together the first time I had my fingers crossed that everything was working good. that's for making this video. don't own a BMW but I enjoy these repairs. keep up the good work .
I replaced my auto transmission and failed to seat to torque converter properly, so now I need a new oil pump, and you made the rebuild look so easy I am going for it. Wish me luck!!!
Man, that was really horrifying when you asked about the noise in the video. I was really not looking forward to seeing you suffer, but hey, you learned a valuable lessen and helped a lot of people in the process. Overall an awesome video!
Well i must say its a reality video.. . you did it, the pump recond..you pulld it off n fixd it..your attitudes towards errors it makes me want to watch more.. Good on you mate. Like n Sub 😃Thanks
I followed this entire video and fixed my reverse but now I’m stuck in limp Mode . This gave me false confidence that I could actually save money doing this diy . Now I’m gonna be charged twice to have a transmission shop look at it.
Way to go man! I've actually watched a few of your e46 videos, since I've got one as well, but these 2 trans vids made me subscribe (prolly should have before now really). Keep up the good work! Next video of yours on my playlist is the rear main seal. Really great to have your vids as a resource, thanks for that!
+Derek Hooper Easier than a manual, in a way, because you don't need a floor press. Everyone always says "that's why I drive a manual" when an automatic needs to be rebuilt but manual's have clutches too!
I have a 330ci that i do all my own work to. Rebuilding the trans is where i however draw the line. I've always had a huge fear of going into one. If i ever have problems, i would probably just order a used one and hope for the best. You sir, are a better man than me.
good vids! A shame about the pump and having to pull it again, but that's the nature of the beast in the mechanic's world. Besides, for never having done one, you did a great job. Much appreciated the info.
Thanks your video was very informative and now I not so concerned about tackling replacing my reverser drum in my 2000 323i with a ZF transmission no reverse problem. thanks again!
Ik vind dit een mooie video, net zoals de andere twee. Met beperkte middelen een automatische versnellingsbak de - en monteren is super. Ik waardeer dit. Ik ben mecanicien en weet dat uit eigen ervaring dat je in sommige domeinen de nodige ervaring nodig hebt om tot een goed resultaat te komen. Gelukkig herbegin je bij tegenslag en blijf je kalm tot je een goed resultaat bekomt. Ik heb hier veel uit geleerd, en ik denk dat dit ook voor U hetzelfde is. Bedankt voor de video, en ook omdat je aangetoond hebt dat er toch iets mis kan gaan bij een herstelling. Doe zo voort. Germain Schiettecatte. Belgium
Great job on the video. I have not finished the 3 parts yet but wanted to say that just observing the way things are described I can understand better how they work. The two things I have not done before AT and differentials repairs are not longer much of a challenge. Thanks for the lesson. I have being working on cars since I was 11 yrs. and have done many full engine rebuilds and I do electronics work too, but I was always afraid of doing transmissions. DIY for these 2004 BMW 325i, 2006 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Pilot, 2011 Kia Sorrento, and 2012 Kia Optima.
Nice work. my next project same like you did. i have 325i. noise came out from tranny. now no more noise but. Transmission warning light come out. some time any position wheel not spinning. i seen Trans oil pan have some metal shave. your video very help full. Thanks..
First of all thanks for the great videos.. you are definitely the man!!! Quick question.. can I change 2008 535i transmission to my 2008 528i while keeping the same valve body?
Very good job. I don't have this vehicle or transmission, but was really enjoyable and educational to watch. You are an excellent teacher and you have incredible patience. By the way, what did you spend on parts in total? Thanks for the video.
Hay 50s kid thank you for the videos. I just rebuilt my zf and replaced the D and F drum and all clutches and steels, i didn't replace the o ring on the first piston behind the pump. At first all was well but after about 30 miles it slips in reverse again. I didn't rebuild th VB but i did install the pressure regulator valve "fix". What else would cause this to slip? Thanks again
Thank you for posting this, it is very helpful, I am just working on mine, but only taking the valve body out for cleaning or replacing the EV1. By any chance do you know of any source that I can buy only the oRings for the wire loom? Appreciate your help.
I really, really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. I'm rebuilding one now, I probably couldn't have done it without you. I was concerned when I saw you put the torque converter bushing at .002" clearance... because I put mine at .005-.006 as the bushing seller recommended (I'm a machinist so I did this myself). Kinda glad to see that yours failed lol, now I know .002 is not correct. Might be helpful to others if you added a notation to the earlier part of the video about the .002 failing and that you don't recommend rebuilding the pump (already did mine, so I'm forging ahead against your advice. wish me luck).
I wish I had the proper tools back then to measure the clearance. I just trusted the machine shop, which was a big mistake. I think the bushing distorted when they pressed it in. Should have gotten the "finish in place" bushing instead.
Hey man, I hope youre still active so I can hear back from you. Ive got an audi S4 2006. its got a ZF trans in it. Incorrect correlation codes on a few gears. Would replacing the clutch packs solve this?? After watching your vid, I can do this rebuild. but i wanna know if itll fix the issue, or if the actual metal gears are bad?
I didn't see which side of the pump bushing got worn, but if it's asymmetrical like you showed, and it's worn the most on the bottom, you may also want to check your crankshaft bushings --- as those wear the crankshaft and torque converter drop lower and can start wearing out the pump bushing faster too.
hi there 50s kid great videos just to say that ihave e46 bmw compact ti 2003 but i think some parts are not the same like bmw sadan thanks dez in the uk
You're amazing. BMW needs to hire you to manage a North America BMW Museum...... You mention in your video you have extra footage that you didn't include. I would love to see the removal and installation using your brand new transmission jack. It sounds like it was still a challenge based on your final thoughts. How do ensure the torque converter doesn't drop during installation or re installation? The Bently manual references a tool to keep in place.....Congratulations for this feat and never giving up!
+TonyS Haha, thanks. The extra footage is for the valve body which followed this video. There is a link in the description. The installation and removal of the transmission is covered in my rear main seal videos, also link in description. The torque converter doesn't fall out because the transmission is sitting back at a slight angle. The tool mentioned by the Bentley manual is really used for protection during shipping.
I am going to do the same as my reverse gear is in working anymore. Found a little piece of the ring which hold the disks together. Any suggestion where I can find parts? thanks
Thank you very much for all your videos, is there any way that you can tell me what is the reading in between the terminals of the output speed sensor of the transmission ZF 5hp 19. If i am correct is 292 - 358 ohms right? I will appreciate if you respond. I know you're awesome!
Yes this ad helped me considerably but I had a problem with my computer sent it out to be repaired since then everything has been going haywire nothing works any suggests
Really nice video, sad end but i was happy to see you solved it with new oil pump. Really good work to rebuilt that ZF with your own hands. I saw video before that you did manual swap. Are you currently driving with that manual box?
I just posted a comment and I can't see it now. Not sure what happened. Anyways great and inspiring work. Excellent job. One question: Did you do all that work in your little one-car garage? How many floor jacks did you use? Is there a video showing how you jacked up and leveled the car? Thanks
Great Videos and I am seriously thinking about taking this on; but I have a couple of questions. 1. What type of floor jacks are you using (3 ton) and how much clearance are you creating? Question 2. Would it be possible to list the number of hours your different projects take? Thanks for great tutorials!!!
What is the function of the square looking spacer between the pump bush bearing and the oil seal at 4:26 in the video? I guess it is to resist the oil stream (passing through the brushing) directly hitting the seal causing leak. Edited: Its function is to support the heavy TC from sagging to avoid damaging the bush bearing and deforming the shaft seal during the time when the tranny is not yet installed (after installed, the TC pilot pin is supported by the center hole of the flex plate and the "washer" is become useless after that).
Grandson’s 1999 Porsche Boxster with the ZF 5hp rebuilt 30,000 miles ago. Front seal fell out. Bushing and toque converter good. Replaced seal fell (pushed) out again after 50 miles, pulled pump front clutches and pump looked new. New o-rings and seals after 50 miles transmission fluid under car cleaned up drove 10 miles and no leaks, drove 20 miles and fluid out of seal. Vent tube and hole between seal and bushing clear. Any ideas ?
Hey 50's kid!!!! I have to tell you my friend.....you are definitely my hero!! I'm just a guy who grew up in nyc that never picked up a wrench to do any mechanic work until I turned about 20 years old!!! since watching all your videos... bro I've built up the confidence to repair anything on my car and I've successfully done so because of all your videos....definitely keep up the awesome work....thanks for inspiring me my friend!

+Ken That is awesome to hear, thanks so much!
Same comment...represents my thoughts and appreciation of his contribution to the novice world. Thank you Sir!
Question? Can I put a ZF5HP19 in an E32 BMW 730i whose original is ZF4HP22? I bought one without a transmission.
Please advise 🙏?
Hey man. Six years ago but.........the best Video i have ever seen to rebuild the 5hp19. Really great job. Thanks for that.
you have the most patience on earth. i would have set the car on fire at that point
+theboringuy Lol
theboringuy true thats how i feel on some jobs lol
Im impressed by the time and effort u put on into this car. From editing the video, setting up camera, giving us the links etc. Showing us what mistakes youve done. Thanks for sharing the video and thumbs up.
+mrtheedgeman Thanks!
Wow 50's kid, I am impressed. I work on my 2004 e46 and now my daughter's 2009 e90. But I have never had to drop a transmission. Really am impressed that this was done on jacks in a garage.
Having a transmisión problem Is what got me to your videos...
I have to say that the isues of my transmisión actually felt like they were starting to give me health problems...
You the 50s kid , are a healer...
Thanks for the vives and Energy that you aré sharing trough your experience in your videos.
For real youre not only helping people to fix their transmisión...your also helping people not to lose their health becouse of their experience related to fixing their transmisión.
Thanks..
Excellent video, I will be rebuilding my transmission after seeing this, Great job!! This gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks for your time to make these videos.
Great job! It failed the first time and you went back in and conquered it. That is amazing. Thanks for the video.

What does a person do to fix the problem.....or just cross fingers that the bushing lasts
This content is a Large bar of GOLD. Thanks man
50s kid
I congradulate you, doing that work in a confined space as your garage,
and on your own from what I could see, very difficult job well done.
+Leonard Ralph Thanks! Yeah the size of my garage is a huge pain.
I replaced my auto transmission and failed to seat to torque converter properly, so now I need a new oil pump, and you made the rebuild look so easy I am going for it. Wish me luck!!!
Man, that was really horrifying when you asked about the noise in the video. I was really not looking forward to seeing you suffer, but hey, you learned a valuable lessen and helped a lot of people in the process. Overall an awesome video!
I just can't explain with words how awsome videos you make, thank you
50sKid, your a legend. Thanks so much for posting this, I am learning alot from your video's.
Just a brilliant series mate, well done.
Well i must say its a reality video.. . you did it, the pump recond..you pulld it off n fixd it..your attitudes towards errors it makes me want to watch more.. Good on you mate. Like n Sub 😃Thanks
Love every BMW video that you've put out. Your e46 is a tank with all the work and effort you put into it!
+Jeremy Powers Haha yeah I'm becoming more and more attached to it
+50sKid exactly how I am with mine! Every small or big thing I fix, it grows on me more and more.
I followed this entire video and fixed my reverse but now I’m stuck in limp
Mode . This gave me false confidence that I could actually save money doing this diy . Now I’m gonna be charged twice to have a transmission shop look at it.

Thank for your Help Getting my e46 back on the Road Love and Light
I am happy to hear now it is sorted. You have lot of patience! Keep up good work and E46 in the road.
+Antti-Ville Orava thanks
Thanks for the video.
I really enjoyed it. And will try to fix my own transmission leakage.
Thanks so much for posting this! I am learning a lot from your video's!! DANKE! DANKE! You have a friend in Berlin!
Thanks again for the trans rebuild video, I have always avoided working on A/T transmissions but you make it look do able.
+Derek Hooper Easier than a manual, in a way, because you don't need a floor press. Everyone always says "that's why I drive a manual" when an automatic needs to be rebuilt but manual's have clutches too!
+50sKid It looks like the hardest part (labor wise) is R&Ring the transmission.
21:42
the cold bode let your ass speak :D you're my home Boy man! Thank you
I have a 330ci that i do all my own work to. Rebuilding the trans is where i however draw the line. I've always had a huge fear of going into one. If i ever have problems, i would probably just order a used one and hope for the best. You sir, are a better man than me.
+gentoolive It's all about confidence. ;-)
Thanks for the videos, gonna tackle my reverse drum issue!!!
One more great video. Thanks for all ur efforts making a step by step ez to understand. 5*s video.
good vids! A shame about the pump and having to pull it again, but that's the nature of the beast in the mechanic's world. Besides, for never having done one, you did a great job. Much appreciated the info.
Well done mate, well done! Nice video, there is a lot of useful information here. I own an e36 but still watched the entire video ;)
Thanks your video was very informative and now I not so concerned about tackling replacing my reverser drum in my 2000 323i with a ZF transmission no reverse problem. thanks again!
Thanks for video 50s kid i learn how to rebuilt my bmw transmission
Another great video. Look forward to seeing more. You make it look too easy.
Hardest part was getting the transmission out!
you have golden hands! supervideo!

כל הכבוד לתיאור עבודתה שיפוץ הגיר האוטומטי.
This video is golden.
pretty straight forward… thanks !!!
First of all thanks for the great videos.. you are definitely the man!!!
Quick question.. can I change 2008 535i transmission to my 2008 528i while keeping the same valve body?
thank,,,,this video help me a lot...
Such an excellent series. I'm debating doing this with my Audi A4. This or a manual swap.
Thanks so much is this the same procedure as for a E39
Best Regards
Saleh
Very good job. I don't have this vehicle or transmission, but was really enjoyable and educational to watch. You are an excellent teacher and you have incredible patience. By the way, what did you spend on parts in total? Thanks for the video.
Good video can you tell me what repair manual you use for reference
Could you please include sketches / illustrations with dimensions of the "special" tools you made in plywood? Thanks! Regards Jørn
Hay 50s kid thank you for the videos. I just rebuilt my zf and replaced the D and F drum and all clutches and steels, i didn't replace the o ring on the first piston behind the pump. At first all was well but after about 30 miles it slips in reverse again. I didn't rebuild th VB but i did install the pressure regulator valve "fix". What else would cause this to slip? Thanks again
Any oil leakage, for me is the pain in the butt. Really great work you done.
+elijuseee Thanks
Excellent video, what of kind transmission fluid do you use? and can it replace ZF LifeGuard5. Thank you very much
Thank you for posting this, it is very helpful, I am just working on mine, but only taking the valve body out for cleaning or replacing the EV1. By any chance do you know of any source that I can buy only the oRings for the wire loom? Appreciate your help.
I really, really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. I'm rebuilding one now, I probably couldn't have done it without you. I was concerned when I saw you put the torque converter bushing at .002" clearance... because I put mine at .005-.006 as the bushing seller recommended (I'm a machinist so I did this myself).

Might be helpful to others if you added a notation to the earlier part of the video about the .002 failing and that you don't recommend rebuilding the pump (already did mine, so I'm forging ahead against your advice. wish me luck).
I wish I had the proper tools back then to measure the clearance. I just trusted the machine shop, which was a big mistake. I think the bushing distorted when they pressed it in. Should have gotten the "finish in place" bushing instead.
Great job!
Ur very nice person.
Gr from Poland!
Hey man, I hope youre still active so I can hear back from you.
Ive got an audi S4 2006. its got a ZF trans in it. Incorrect correlation codes on a few gears.
Would replacing the clutch packs solve this??
After watching your vid, I can do this rebuild. but i wanna know if itll fix the issue, or if the actual metal gears are bad?
Great help man !!! Thanx
Hey!! Enjoy your vids!! Question… can you swap a 2003 bmw 330i transmission to a 2001 330i?
Great video keep it up
Very nice video
erick from kenya thanks for the help ;wish to see the gm n46 engine gearbox rebuild
You have the patience of Job my friend.
+Robert Laugherty Ha
Top video!
merci infiniment pour la formation
youre great man!
Enjoyable and very informativ video :-)
Hey man I trying too rebuild the transmission for me 530i
After replacing the D clutch, on the test drive the transmission hangs on the shift from 2nd to 3rd, and then goes into limp mode. Any suggestions?
I didn't see which side of the pump bushing got worn, but if it's asymmetrical like you showed, and it's worn the most on the bottom, you may also want to check your crankshaft bushings --- as those wear the crankshaft and torque converter drop lower and can start wearing out the pump bushing faster too.
Fantastic!
Beautifully done... I would like to see you learn to rebuild the pump some day... just to kick their asses...bob
+bob campbell I never want to see that pump ever again, lol. I think it's pretty clear that it's unrepairable.
Thanks for the video....
hi there 50s kid great videos just to say that ihave e46 bmw compact ti 2003 but i think some parts are not the same like bmw sadan thanks dez in the uk
I have a Porsche 986 with a ZF5HP19, would be technically the same procedure and spare parts, right? Great job!
Did you soak the clutches with Trans fluid? never see you did the rear seal on the shaft.
You're amazing. BMW needs to hire you to manage a North America BMW Museum...... You mention in your video you have extra footage that you didn't include. I would love to see the removal and installation using your brand new transmission jack. It sounds like it was still a challenge based on your final thoughts. How do ensure the torque converter doesn't drop during installation or re installation? The Bently manual references a tool to keep in place.....Congratulations for this feat and never giving up!
+TonyS Haha, thanks. The extra footage is for the valve body which followed this video. There is a link in the description. The installation and removal of the transmission is covered in my rear main seal videos, also link in description. The torque converter doesn't fall out because the transmission is sitting back at a slight angle. The tool mentioned by the Bentley manual is really used for protection during shipping.
I am going to do the same as my reverse gear is in working anymore. Found a little piece of the ring which hold the disks together. Any suggestion where I can find parts? thanks
Great job 50s kid
Thank you very much for all your videos, is there any way that you can tell me what is the reading in between the terminals of the output speed sensor of the transmission ZF 5hp 19. If i am correct is 292 - 358 ohms right? I will appreciate if you respond. I know you're awesome!
That information can be found in one of the 5 PDF documents in the dropbox link in the description of this video.
2022. So how is it lasting? Is it still doing good? Let us know
good job man sorry for thr pump
+fritzz2 Thanks!
What is the max height of your jack stands. How high do I have to jack up my car in order to remove the transmission?
Yes this ad helped me considerably but I had a problem with my computer sent it out to be repaired since then everything has been going haywire nothing works any suggests
salute bro
Really nice video, sad end but i was happy to see you solved it with new oil pump. Really good work to rebuilt that ZF with your own hands. I saw video before that you did manual swap. Are you currently driving with that manual box?
I think he said he swapped back to auto after he got tired of shifting. He is a machine.
Did the overhaul pack have the D / G piston oring?
I just posted a comment and I can't see it now. Not sure what happened. Anyways great and inspiring work. Excellent job.
One question: Did you do all that work in your little one-car garage? How many floor jacks did you use? Is there a video showing how you jacked up and leveled the car?
Thanks
Great Videos and I am seriously thinking about taking this on; but I have a couple of questions. 1. What type of floor jacks are you using (3 ton) and how much clearance are you creating? Question 2. Would it be possible to list the number of hours your different projects take? Thanks for great tutorials!!!
I used 2 ton jacks and it's not possible to get the car high enough--you have to slide the trans off your jack, period.
Wow, that was awesome to watch... Study study study
hey how did u put on the selector cable
thank u very much
thanks

Grandson’s 1999 Porsche Boxster with the ZF 5hp rebuilt 30,000 miles ago. Front seal fell out. Bushing and toque converter good. Replaced seal fell (pushed) out again after 50 miles, pulled pump front clutches and pump looked new. New o-rings and seals after 50 miles transmission fluid under car cleaned up drove 10 miles and no leaks, drove 20 miles and fluid out of seal. Vent tube and hole between seal and bushing clear.
Any ideas ?
