ZF5HP19 Teardown 

Ok now I can totally appreciate why these things are so expensive to replace. Better get that fluid change done ASAP 😁

Being swamped with work is always a good thing! I'm sure I not only speak for myself, your videos are greatly appreciated & so helpful! I hope you enjoyed the holiday wknd!

Gary , happen to have a BMW 330 ci 2001 model. No problems yet but they don't last forever. Your video is very descriptive and will be a great help in the future. Thank You.

have you ever had to change the bushing in the stator that seals the E clutch i know they are common on the 6hps i have one that i built and it slips on the 3-4 shift

Hello Gary, awesome video. I have a stupid question. Is possible to convert a fwd gearbox to a awd gear box? For example, using a Passat / A4 B5 manual fwd transmission and installing a transfer case to it. Thank you!

Hello Group ! A4 B6 2.5 TDI Quattro After a diagnosis appeared this Code, which is of all Selenoid or Valve ? 18223 - pressure control valve 1 (N215) P1815 - 35-00 - short circuit to positive

Hey Gary I’m doing a rebuild on my trans same as this one but for some reason I watch your vids and few more and the B clutch is just falling out but when I took everything apart the B clutch is stuck with the rest of the pump any idea what holding me up

Vary very nice video. Good thinks alot sir

Hi Gary, I have a 2001 bmw 325i (ZF5HP19), Transmission stop working in reverse only, can slowly get out of the driveway by switching back and forth from drive/reverse. If it's the DG Drum what would be an average repair estimate? Thanks and thanks for your videos.

Hi Gary. This is a very informative video. I have a question that I'm hoping you can answer. I have a zf5hp19 that has been teared down. I have noticed that the f drum sleeve is pushed down. I was wondering where I can purchase one? Have any suggestions of where I can purchase one?

Hi Mr Ferraro congratulations¡ your videos are awesome¡¡ can you upload a 2002 isuzu rodeo tranny overhaul??

Great job again!!!! You are very good at what you do

Greatings From Poland!!!

Hi Gary, on a 5ph19fla, where is park on the side of the transmission. Is it all the way forward toward the engine? I have to connect the shifter cable and want to make sure park is park. Thanks😂

Gary, great video, Thanks so much. I would appreciate your thoughts on my Son's car which just went into limp mode. 2002 325ci. Drove to movie and all is well, leave movie and it's in limp mode. Before that, trans worked great. Now showing trans codes: 49 Gear Monitoring, 53 Gear Monitoring 3, 54 Gear Monitoring 4, and 114 Steptronic Switch. I did watch your full disassembly vid, and also the short one about "F" clutch and moved sleeve. Do the syptoms point to the "F" clutch issue? My thoughts are: Why all of a sudden with no warning? Now the trans is ALWAYS in limp mode (4th gear) - no shifting or even shift attempts. Could it be a sticky piston in the valve body. OR perhaps a bad solenoid? I did disconnect the battery to attempt a fresh start, but still in limp. Any thoughts?

Hi Gary, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. My project is a 2001 330i. It has a ZF 5hp19. I just rebuilt the engine and everything works great with no engine codes. The transmission seems to work properly also. I drove the car 100 miles then a leak developed. I took the trans out and am having a difficult time locating the leak. I believe it is the trans but am not sure because the fluid colors are similar between the engine and trans. I will know more once I remove the flywheel to inspect the rear main. This vehicle has 111,000 miles on it and I am going to rebuild the trans while I have it out as a precaution so I don't have to pull it again anytime soon. I am going to replace the following items. New pump, updated reverse drum, all gaskets, seals, molded pistons, frictions without steels, plastic pump tubes, updated Transgo regulator valve, updated f bushing which depends if I have the early or late style and torque converter. In your opinion, should i replace all the bronze bushings? How can I tell if I have an early or late style F bushing? Is there something I should replace that I haven't listed? Any advice on my project that will keep me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

So I have two passats that started making that loud whining sound, and the engine stopped instantly when turned off. One of them I replaced the converter bushing and the converter seal, but you know what I did? I forgot to put that 4 sided pump washer back in. Still makes the same sound but not as bad. I assume the seal is now restricting flow to the shaft. Does that sound about right? Would like a definitive answer before I pull it all back apart. Thank you

Hi Gary, Do you think there is a correlation between runaway pressure (aka worn out VB bore) and the pump bushing issue? If not, what do you think causes that and how do you prevent the same problem from reoccurring? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the helpful video

In my place the mechanics will just change the input shaft seal, without replacing the whole pump, i geuss thats why it will be broken after just 10-25k kms after overhaul

Gary, I have the same exact transmission in my 2006 BMW 330i e90 sedan with 208k miles on it and the only problem i really have is rough downshift from 2-1 occasionally. I am planning to replace all the solenoids and purchase the sonnax zip kit and rebuild the valvebody. Since my transmission seems to be in pretty good shape i am debating whether is should do a full rebuild of the transmission by replacing all the bushing (what you are doing in this video) and replace the clutch packs just as a preventative maintenance. Do you think im wasting money with replacing the clutch packs and bushings? I am not having any clutch slippage that i am aware of..

what do you think the FLA trans weighs, 300lb?

Hey Gary I have the same transmission. I’ve started to notice my rpm dropping then a couples days later I started to heard a noise it sounded like an air leakage but I could not find the problem. Then on the next day my car would not go anywhere then the gear light came on. I pulled three codes P0741 P0734 P01732. Do you think if I do a rebuild that would fix my problem??

I have a 2002 Audi A4 with the ZF519. I am experiencing harsh down shifting from 5th to 4th gear after the transmission has reached operating temp. when slowing down and sometimes from N to D or N to R. Its normal when accelerating or shifting in manual when increasing speed. Any ideas or thoughts.

I just recently put my ZF5hp19 back together after a rebuild. Only to find that is has no endplay on the pump shaft. I hear this is a bad thing? I’m going to open back up, however do know how I would set the proper endplay?

Very good

I need to know how the parking prawl actuating rod is connected under the protective plate. Can you explain that? Does it just sit there or is it connected somehow?

Respect Gary

Would this be technically the same for a 986 2002 Boxster 2.7l transmission?

Hi gary I have a gear monitoring 4 code I replaced the f clutch but I still have the same problem I checked the sleeve bushing and everything is ok where can I direct myself to now?

is there anyway to just change the bushing and the seal without dismantle the whole hearbox? I have one 2001 audi a8

Hi there, great video! I am trying to rebuild my 5HP19 transmission and I can't find in the transmission rebuild manual the oil pump gears clearance in order to determine if my oil pump is in good condition. Do you happen to have that information?

Hello Gary, I need your help. I have a 2001 bmw 330 zf5hp19. I replaced all clutches, seals and replaced the two drums at the rear of the transmission. Still slips in reverse. I didn't play with the VB, only replaced the regulator valve (fix from kit). Solenoids checked out correct voltage resistance. What else can I look for?

Looks so easy hehe :-) :-D Just wondering if this is possibile to change all common problems with trans alone in simple garage not becouse something is wrong but just for precausion to not have any issues for later on road becouse something with R is happened to trans and sometimes from 4}5 or from 1}2 is not always workin properly... Great Video, question for mrs. Expert where or from who buy nedded parts updated for zf 5 HP 19 installed in Audi V6 diesel 2004 2.5L ?

Gary are you still active on here? I currently have a passat with this same trans leaking from bellhousing but I can’t tell if it’s the seal inside the pump when looking at the face of the pump. Or if it’s my “input shaft seal” that sits behind the welded TC collar on back of the TC

Hi. Great video. I have 5HP19 gearbox in my E39. One year ago I have replaced D/G Drum, becaus was broken. After repair gearbox slipeduring swiching from 2 on 3 gear. When i reduce gear from 3 to 2 is little punch. Do You have any idea for a reason ?

awesome video, i believe I have the same transmission in a 04 awd passat it has been slipping for a while especially if I'm on the throttle making a turn, the last couple days I heard a loud noise I went to ammco they told me my possible torque converter fail they would need take apart whole transmission $4600. any ideas on what I should do can't really afford another car at the moment or have anything close to 4k. Thanks.

Hi Garry, I have E46 325i 2002 with almost 150K KM.. I have problem with the transmission. Using the steptronic when selected n M 3 its automativally shift to gear M 4 and M 5 after that I got trans warning (gearbox symbol). I have scan and get error message 049 Symptom Gear Check, 054 Gear Check,and Gear Check 4 (ENP). I have watched your Gear Monitoring Video and I came to conclusion I have to replace F Drum. Please advise, thanks

I'm hoping you can help me out. I've got a 2000 323Ci with the ZF5HP19. I replaced a broken reverse drum. After Replacing the drum trans worked but had a ticking noise. Found i left out a shim between the B and C clutches. Removed trans put the shim in and put everything back together. Ticking noise is gone away but, now I have 0 gears, no fluid flow through the trans cooler lines and a P0720 Stall monitoring code. I have taken the pump apart. gears look good and the teeth that engage the torque converter are not damaged. I'm at my whits end I can't find anything physically wrong with any of the parts. Other searches show me that the DTC has usually been the Output speed sensor. I get a reading of 265 ohms (book I have on the valve body 292 - 358 ohms is the limits) but the book also says the TSS should be the same but im getting over 6 Mohms. Even tried a new wiring harness and get the same readings with a new TSS and OSS. I'm not sure what could cause no flow when I know the pump is working..

Greats vids Gary. I have this 6hp19 and I am getting a 2-1 thud or kick after driving on highway for a while. What could it be? I know u mentioned dampers in mechatronic can cause harsh engagement and disengagement. Have no errors and otherwise trans work great. Thx

Hello Gary. Great video, could I get a contact for you? I have the ZF 5hp19 in 2003 BMW 330i, it makes a thud from 3rd to 4th or 4th to 3rd while warmed up and throws a P0734 code (4th gear ratio). I would like to get it rebuilt. What is your location?

Hey i keep getting code p0734, and car stops pulling durning 4 gear, but when i clear it car drives normal

Hi gary, I'm rebuilding a 5hp19 for my sisters '05 Passat tdi. It spun the pump bushing, luckily the previous owners stopped driving it the moment they noticed fluid dripping. I was interested in ordering parts from you or your supplier, I know at the very least I need and overhaul kit torque converter and pump. I would like to replace the frictions while I'm in there too(even though they don't look too bad on this trans). I believe my F clutch drum bushing is in good shape based on your vid about that. The D/G drum looks good too, although I understand that thing is sort of a time bomb if its not the updated one? is there and updated part number for that D/G drum so I could tell if mine is the newer one? Looking forward to your response, thanks!

hey i have an e46 325ci it goes forward very slowly and its slipping and i have trans warning on the dash but it runs great on reverse gear what do you think is the problem?

Just stopped driving when there was a fluid leak 😢😭😭😭 why didn't I!!! 24:30

how much did this repair cost? i have the same issue on my 2003 325

How much is a complete rebuild from you ? Thank you

My 5hp19 has only the first 3 gears can i just put in a 5hp18 i have 1 just sitting here its a BMW e39

I am rebuilding a version of this trans. Audi 5hp19FLA Quattro. I am at the front transfer unit which houses 3 large meshing gears. One goes through the long shaft of the trans, and has a bearing and thick shim. Second has a shorter shaft and a big spring that goes on before the gear is placed on. my question is, the spring forces the gear to set higher up (1/2") than the other two gears. once you tighten the housing, does that force the gear into place by compressing the spring? also what is the torque for that housing screws. Thanks.

Gary is it possible. I can get you to email me so I can send you some pictures pretty sure my pump bushing walked and seized on the TC which mean metals shavings went through the tranmisson...... I need to swap a solenoid from my current car to my parts car as the parts car trans says it needs a solenoid c (3) sending it into limp mode

Great video but you work too slow. That why the shop is behind lol. Also please get better lighting.

What is the part number for those sleeves or can you direct me to a place too buy them
