In this video I show how to replace all of the shift pins, fifth gear detent, and reverse detent on a ZF 5 Speed manual transmission. This transmission came out of an E53 X5 3.0, but this video applies to E36, E46, E39, and other BMW models that came with the ZF 5 speed manual transmission. Be sure to watch the entire video before attempting this fix so you can be prepared with various odds and ends you may need. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MIX UP THE REVERSE/FIFTH GEAR DETENTS WHEN REINSTALLING!

Any ideas as to where i can get the tools amazon says they dont know when they are coming back in stock???

@FlightDeckGA 2 года назад

Thank you, ShopLife! If there are 5 gears+ a reverse, why are there only 3 pins and 2 for the reverse and 5th?

@FlightDeckGA 2 года назад

Do we need to use the special tool to tap the cap in or can a socket work? Thank you!

What is the consequence of not lining the shift pin sleeve slot left/right on the case? I rushed right into the install after countless hours trying to get the old bushings out. From my limited understanding, as long as the slot is not at the 6 o'clock position (towards bell housing) it should be good?

@hawkeye1939 3 года назад

Little tip with 5th and reverse cap, if u use a flat head and hit the caps near the edge the will spin, saves screwing into them

@Andrewlone174 Год назад

Does anyone know where I can find same video but about 6 speed gearbox??????????????????!

@charlieward7606 2 года назад

tip for anyone doing this, put grease on the drill bit and the screw, save you putting loads of metal shavings in your gearbox

@sein7381 3 года назад

Hey man , I know my question is irrelevant under this video , but since it's been posted a day ago , I thought you'd check it . I own BMW E46 318i 2003 , and my oil sensor shows a yellow light on the dashboard. Does this light mean I got low oil level ? Or does it mean that the oil is not good ? Also , another important question , do BMWs burn or evaporate or loose oil level ? Is that a normal thing ? Or is it actually a problem if a BMW looses oil

I have a 535i e39 1997, it won’t stay in Reverse pops out when letting go of the clutch, but if I push and hold In reverse It doesn’t pop out when letting go of the clutch. The transmission doesn’t exists in Sweden so I can’t buy a new one

My 2002 BBMW Z3 3.0i with the same transmission had a terrible fifth gear lean when I first got it in November of 2018. Then the next year I changed the transmission fluid with royal purple gear oil and changed the shifter with a used OEM replacement one and ever since the fifth gear lean is gone. Also the detents while still not great (I would like them to be a little bit tighter) are a lot BETTER. There for a while I thought I was going to have to do this fix but for now I am going to leave it alone LOL

@elpelavacas707 2 месяца назад

I have a 2010 mitsubishi lancer 5 speed, 5th gear keeps popping out. Do you think It may have something to do with the Detent being bad?

I have a 5 speed Getrac and I hve the tranny out AGAIN becuz after replacing the clutch and flywheel I can’t find 1st and 2nd gear. I find reverse forcefully but it jolts back into neutral and I hear a odd click. Please help

@planet3bike 3 года назад

Would the procedure be the same for the E46 M3 6-speed manual? I've noticed that the reverse detent is very easy to get over compared to the one in my 5-speed E46 318i.

@williamshreffler5817 2 месяца назад

When I inserted my 5th gear and reverse pins into the bushing they didn’t go in as smooth as yours did. I used gear oil for lube and made sure to service one pin at a time to not mix up the pins. So I ended up tapping the pins in with the detect tools. Did anyone else had to tap theirs in?

@deadspin33 3 года назад

Can I still drive the car with it leaning towards fifth gear or will they do damage till I repair it

@e36fanatics 2 года назад

Nothing will happen... It just sucks switching gears when the stick isnt centered but instead its leaning towards 5th in neutral

@chrise4659 9 месяцев назад

Pick doesnt work. Magnet doesnt work. The pins are hardened and cant drill into them. There is no way of getting these damn pins out. Also cant get even my shaved down tiny flat head under them to cave them in. Wtf is going on

@blago6 Год назад

Dont drill the caps you'll get mettal shavings in the box punch them with something sharp then screw your bolt

Great tutorial indeed. Not good with trannys yet, but I picked up a rare 2004 X3 6MT factory (37 made), but it's a ZF and no info on it. You think the Detents will work with the same ZF but with an extra gear.

@darek4488 2 года назад

Lots of shit gets inside the gearbox if you do it this way. Next time just use a regular wood or drywall screw with the pointy tip. No need to drill. And the metal caps can be just punched through with something sharp and a hammer.

@danl4222 2 года назад

Is the housing the same in all cars with the ZF 5 Speed except for the front differential? I would like to swap my auto trans out in my '06 E53 4.4. with one of these manual transmissions. Which transmission will fit? Does it have to come out of another E53? I believe E53 manuals are rare.

@9ssdv8r 3 года назад

Hi Rick, sorry to say No to your question, these ZF 5 speed manuals where only fitted to the straith 6 3.0i and 3.0d,and V8 engines only came with automatic, manual shifters was a factory option on the 3.0's and so they are really hard to find even here in Europe, of about every 3.0 i looked for only some 15 had 5 speed manual transmissions. This type of ZF shown in the vid is actually a pre-facelift 5-speed after facelift they got 6-speed manual, you can tell because of the shape of the end of the gearbox where it's attached to the transfercase, this still is the one without the electric motor on the transfercase,which all 6-speed manual boxes had after the X5 E53 facelift in 2003.

@darek4488 2 года назад

Buy an adapter plate for M62 and a common gearbox you can find. The adapter kit addresses the clutch too. Otherwise there are only 2 transmissions that will fit, and they are both rare and expensive. Either from a 540i manual or the M5.
