Brad's ZF5HP24 Teardown 

Another great video Gary, its like wstching Michael Angelo. If I wasn't 300 miles from your shop I would definitely bring in my X5 to be done.

Another very educational and entertaining video sir, thank you 👍

Just as a FYI, this transmission was out of a 2002 BMW X5 4.6i with 117,000 miles (seems to be the norm mileage for trans failure for the ZF5HP24). Gary was great. Very communicative with me. I wouldn't use anyone else after my experience, he definitely knows his stuff which is obvious in his videos. Car is driving great after the rebuild and look forward to another 100K+ of driving. :) Even had a transmission from Chicago IIRC on a pallet ready to be rebuilt. History of the car. I bought the car with it already having trouble shifting into gears which was random but frequent. Couldn't pin it down to if the transmission was hot/cold or a specific gear. I knew the trans needed replacement/rebuilt when purchased. X5 sat for a while and when I decided to do something about it, the clutches started slipping. That's when I towed it to AAA-1. Thanks for putting the video up and the work on the transmission Gary!!

Sir, you have won my suscription because of these zf5hp24 videos so have. Thanks

Super video, looks like you realy know your stuff, but please get a better camera,( I stand corrected, its the lightning.)

thank you gary

Hello and thanks a lot for this vidéo ! I'm french and unfortunatly i don't understand all what you say in the video 😁 I would like to know wich part was responsable of the failure, the bearing, the drum A or the seal ? My trans has the same problem and think i'll dare to open it thanks to your great video.

You should take those filters apart. Not the new one, the old one and the aftermarket one; and compare the quality.

could you clean the eye of the camera because it is fogged, or change the camera :) I don't know a better channel than yours about automatic transmissions, but somehow the video drops when not zoomimg

Hello Gary from Argentina, excellent video thanks. my question is with what product you clean the part to reassemble the transmission I would like to learn how to repair automatic transmissions some day. hug

ola Gary, I have a 5hp24 BMW X5 E53 2003 can I use ZF LIFEGUARD 8 in this exchange? because I have enough for an exchange, is there any problem? because I know q this exchange the recommended and ATF1 with molibidenio and I think this LF8 has no.

Great video. I have a ZF5HP24 out of an 03 Jag, drove perfectly today but made a noise after pulling in the garage and going into park. After hearing it, tried selecting gears and found no reverse or forward gears, until its revved and it will jump into gear. Let it cool for a little bit and found its now engaging all gears until it warmed back up, then did the same thing. Have been daily driving it and have not had any shift issues prior. A quick look didn't show signs of excessive fluid loss. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great video.

Gary, another faithful watcher!! I am currently looking for a failed ZF to pull apart to just get a feel for how they come apart and look for faults! I have a 03 BMW X5 with the ZF5hp24. I have some questions about a torque converter fault I am getting on scan. Is there a way to contact you directly without diluting your YT feed? Happy to pay for consulting information. Thanks for the great content!

Nice video! Don't know why I find it more than one year after upload! I have as well the same gearbox in my E39 540i. First time in the day when I put it into Reverse, its really kicking in the reverse gear. Not so for D mode. As well, it does that really only when cold and done the first time after cooldown. If you try to do it again, Reverse will be engaged very lightly, no problem anymore. Any idea? It has about 200k miles on it and oil and filters have been changed 10k miles ago, not better...

How much for this service? I have the same truck

hello i like your videos my question is if you have a video of how to assemble a 2001 nissan frontier trasmission

As always, a great information. Question: how is the Transmission reputation on the 2017 BMW X5, 35i. We hear some negative input after someone in the family purchased one a couple of months ago. Thanks again Gary and keep up the excellent work.

also have a problem on the zf 5hp24 with a fault code 34 -gear monitor 2 the car fault is very slow to run have you ever had a problem like this on zf 5hp24

Hey how you doing. I watch your video and i was able to rebuilt my tranny successfully. Great video to learn from.. It been about 4 years now since i rebuilt it..for the past 6 months been sitting cuz i have to do a timing job..couple days now i keep getting code 48 for clutch lock up too much slip....i drop the fluid no metal no smell. But i do hear the tranny making a lil noise like torque converter...how should i test the converter or what should i be looking for...it drive good when its warm but 1st thru 2 gear it feel its struggling...any idea please

Merci Gary 👍👍

Hello Gary. How much does that rebuild costs? I have an '03 Range Rover (BMW) with that exact tranny, and what is most likely the torn seal/o-ring. Starts up, drives normally for two miles then slips into fourth gear with trans fail safe warning. Seems like when it warms up, there is leakage past the broken ring. Folks here in Texas are hesitant to rebuild these. I would consider shipping it to you because the suv has been fully restored minus the tranny issue now.

How much oli will the gearbox take after the reassembly on RealOEM it shows 20Litters and most suppliers on the OEM part number show only 7Litters?

Gary, I hate to critique such useful videos, but it would be really nice at the beginning of each video if you were to state how many miles were on the gear box.

Gary, i have this gearbox on my BMW E38 740. When I put it from P to D, it takes about 3-4sec before the gear locks in. It's the same when I put it from P to R, or D to R. The are no problems when driving. The time to engage gear gets longer every year. Any suggestions? I have the car for 6 years, changed fluid at 90000miles, now 120000.

What makes the OE filter so much better to justify the price difference? I guess I'm asking what the physical difference in the 2 filters is.

Thanks for the great videos you made. I need some advice I have replaced the skinny origin and that bearing as it was broken but the gear dox still has a small problem when in drive and pulling off it starts going and then slips or neutrals but in manual mode if I select 1st I can pull off and go any advice please

i just rebuild my 6hp21 trans now it has funny humming noise when downshifting from 4 to 3.. only when downshifting no slip or other noises or codes. drives perfect fine. Could be missed something?

Where do you find parts for this zf5hp24? I am specifically looking for the thrust bearing that goes on the 'D' side of the D/E assembly. It seems like these bearings are no longer in production and are completely extinct... (or I just don't know where to look)

I know it doesn't, but what if the letter D at the beginning of a part number ment Dorman? That would be silly, right?

Hi... I've watched your videos regarding this transmission and I would like to ask you about the e pipe... could this be a reason why I am having slip and failsafe activation in second gear only In both manual and auto mode?... all other gears working fine and when in manual if I skip second gear then 3rd 4th and 5th all fine.. any help would be appreciated

Good very good

Any recommendations on where to source that bearing that has a high failure rate? I'm currently doing one of these units and my suppliers can't get that bearing.

I have a zf5hp24a some times when sat at the lights and I go to pull away there is bang noise and a jolt! It’s almost like it’s not in gear till I give some throttle. What could this be please

How do you take the seal out of the oil pump? I noticed your seal is out but the bearing is still in

Hello can i use a used transmission in my 2004 bmw 545i.Will reprogramming work?

Hello sir! Please if you get a chance to read this could you please give me an idea of what’s going on I have a 2000 silverado 2wd 4.8 I have a p0758 and p0719 after a transmission installation, now I know the transmission I bought supposedly have 100k miles fluid was clean, I took pan down replaced both of solenoids, filter and new fluid and brake switch code keeps coming back, I got scanner and under transmission I can shift all gears with scanner and all gears are good I can command solenoids on and off But it’s stuck in 3rd gear Please any idea will be really appreciated Thanks and be blessed
