ZF Transmission won't shift, ZF Transmission Service, valve body, BMW, Jaguar, Range Rover 

Just a quick tip for anyone doing this at home on their driveway. ALWAYS remove the FILL plug before removing the DRAIN plug and opening up the trans. These fill plugs are in very tight and are very liable to strip out. Last thing you want is to drain the oil, do the job and then not be able to fill it back up and then you cant move the car to take it to a shop to get the plug out.

One of the very best modifications I did to my transmission in my XK8 was to replace the plastic pan to the aluminum pan.

This guy makes it look so easy

I got and awesome deal on a 2006 LR3 v6 (U.S.) and have been looking at the Land Rover manual for my vehicle and nothing has lined up. I randomly came across your video trying to verify sensor placements because the Land Rover Manual does not match anything. I contacted Land Rover direct, verified frame, body and engine numbers and was sent the "proper" manual and no luck. The cross member placement on this frame lines up with mine. FYI, I was looking for the Camshaft Position Sensor which is top dead center at the rear of the engine before the bell housing; same as a Range Rover. According to the manual and Land Rover , its accessible on the bottom in a deep recess in the center before the transfer case. The more I dig into this vehicle, I should be looking at a Range Rover manual.

I've been replacing these parts in my Jaguar 2004 XJ8 that have only 119k miles and it drives like new as always

Great video. What is the torque for the fill plug? Workshop manual has a weird ratio with a special tool.

Do you have to disconnect battery when doing this service ?

Nice job! Thank you.. I have an 06 LR3 with a P0501-00 code and the transmission won’t engage. If I undue the battery for a while it will go away. When I start it back up, I can drive it for several yards & then the p0501 pops up & the trans disengages. Does this sound like the, “losing pressure” you were describing? Do you believe this service will fix my issue? I realize the p code points elsewhere & I’ve ordered new speed sensors. I’ve also cleaned the TCU and it looks great.

Would the cracked plastic seal cause a "Trans Failsafe" code on a 2004 BMW X5 4.4L?

Thanks For Greats Video Do You Are Best Of the Best

The monster is back 👑🔥

A great video of your work but i have a question regarding refilling the fluid. After you refill it and the fluid comes out you reinstall the plug and run the car and cycle through the gears (foot on the brake ) . While the car is still running the temperature of the fluid is supposed to be 40 degrees celsius or 104 degrees fahrenheit and only at that time should the plug be removed and additional fluid be added till it spills out (as per ZF)

Nice, is saw that you have a lot of knowledge about Zf, can you have an opinion about this ,, gear Ratio from 5 to x is not possible " a Zf 8hp70 .. from 1-5 the car works very good.

Really great job! Thank you for doing this!

Hi Great videos!! ✌️ I have a BMW X6 with a ZF 6hp28x gearbox I have changed the oil and filters and now when I drive 10 meters backwards or forwards and brake the car stalls as if you release the clutch too quickly. Once it's warm it's over What could that be??? Have you ever experienced this? regards Koen

I changed out the Solenoids because one of the forward gears wasn't working, changed the tubes and bridge seal and filter pan too got back together and reverse wasn't working could the wrong fluid level cause that, didn't have a way to measure the temp. any ideas how to check the Solenoid hear a click when shifting? etc. Thanks Great video.

Can some1 pls explain what is the thing with the shifting road ? U need to put him in some position ? Or u leave like it is and dont move it ?

Great video, my car range rover 2006. The D automatic drive stuck at 3rd gear, but the standard S is working fine. I can shift all the gear to run the car. If I do not replace the rubber tube as this video, will the standard shift will stop working when the rubber tube getting worst?

Im removing a zf6hp 26 trans from my car . The engine is out already . The bolts at the back connecting to the drivetrain which do i remove ? And is there a shaft that slips out ? I dont wanna break anything . Thanls again

I did this and still no gear change says P0721 out shaft speed sensor fail

Quick question have you ever replaced the Solenoids on the valve body? I think that's the fix for the hard shifts .

Do you know the part numbers for the four rubber tubes? Thank you!

How much in USD should this service cost at an indy shop? At about how many miles on ZF before this should be done?

Great video. As a suggestion, you should also do a video on this exact service on a jeep grand cherokee or durango with the 845RE or 850RE trans.

What about resetting adaptations on that trans and doing a relearn procedure? Seems crazy to open everything up and do new fluid at $20/qt if you are not going to replace the 4 tube seals and solenoids (only about $400) at the same time. In 20K miles, another trans problem will have you opening it all up again and paying for 7qts of oil + new trans pan + labour. This is why these $80K trucks can be had used for $10K. Buy once, cry once!

Excellent job and video

Does the same seal exists for 5HP24 transmission? Thanks

hi fantastic video i have a Discovery TD5 it has the 4hp _22 auto gearbox the problem iam having is i put it in drive it drives off but wont upshift gears goes in to reverse ok as well any idea what it could be any help appreciated.

Hi my transmission is the same kind . It stops shifting after 3rd gear when vehicle gets to normal temperature. Do you think this could solve the problem? It also doesn’t engage to sport mode when shifter is in sport mode

Thank, you for you're video.

i have a problem, gearbox not shifting, can you help

Saludos, me podrías decir como puedo liberar el soporte del motor para levantar el motor del carro, tengo un range rover sport 2006, gracias

Thank you!!! Outstanding video!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, do you happen to know where the output speed shaft sensor is located on ZF transmission? I'm having trouble finding it on my Range Rover Sport.

My range rover 2004 td6 isnt going in Reverse uphill. Do you think its also the valve body ? All other gears work. But reverse feels like the clutch is slipping

Great video, what year vehicle was that? Was there a pan cover and heat shield cover?

Perfect Ahmed Zaki

Hey my 06 lr3 is displaying transmission fault, traction control. The differential does not work ,it was change, during stop when moving it jump,ie the transmission. Any ideal

A2Z Auto Masters i have a 1998 xj8 automatic transmission if i take off slow it will shift just fine but if i am entering a freeway and trying to pick up speed i think by the time it hits third gear it just seems to go into neutral so i let off the gas pedal and push back down slowly than it goes through the gears like its suppose to, car only has 42000 miles on it what that might be thank you

Awesome thank you so much ❤

Excellent video, thank you.

Great video. But the bloody music.

would like to watch new videos guys made by you (: !!

Which zf is this 6 or 8?

Excellent ...

But the gears ar rattling in ther no can help me 😢😢

I changed transmision solenoides the oil and I put everything back together but the problem now is the car doesn't start anything can you help me?

Hey i know you might be busy but how could i contact you?

What about the old contaminated oil in the oil cooler and pipes. It will now mix with the new oil. You should have dissconected the pipes from the gearbox and blew the old oil out with an airline.

Where are you

So this is the same on the Bmw 8hp

I have the exact same Range. transmission fault - valve body. Works up to 3rd gear and in reverse. Do you think this could fix it? And how much can i get charge by local mechanic (estimates) If i were in your area or country i could’ve come to you but I’m in montreal, quebec, canada Your advise will be appreciated

Only smokes! I have no clue it's that complicated. I get why is so expensive for labor.

where are you located i need help

❤❤❤

I'm assuming you oil the outer o-ring on the pan you didn't show but some Jackass is bound to comment that's not me lol

😝 p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾

What is that hole forward of the transmission oil pan you took off . Looks like there’s some kind of gasket in it ? Thanks for the video it helped me I it !
