ZF5HP24 Teardown 

Hi Joel, when i have more time i certainly will, right now running about 2 weeks behind, cars all over the place

@@GaryFerraro thank you inflation! Say hello to everyone doing rebuilds from trusted shops.... like AAA-1 Transmission

are you sure you hooked up the manual valve to the linkage

what are the codes?

sure,

I had to go with another box in the end because I was sick of pulling that one apart. I got a box that was professionally rebuilt and put in a car that I bought as a donor car. The box was don in 2020 and had done hardly any milage as the car it was put in blew a head gasket not long after and thats how I come to buy it as a donor car (2002 BMW x5 (e53) 4.6is. These have a larger torque converter for stall speeds than the standard 4.4 litre ones and the bell housing has cutouts in the fins to accomodate. I put the box into my car (another e53 4.6is) and I noticed I was getting a slight squeaking sound between 2-3 and 3-4th gear. Sometimes the car would stick in those gears also and I would notice due to the car revving up to around 4-5000rpm. If I used the steptronic manual shifting then this would not occur. After driving the box in a bit I noticed it stopped sticking in auto but the squeak was still present. I got about 750kms out of it driving it rather cautiously and then the dreaded trans failsafe came up on the dash. I stoped at my destination and switched the car off but when I returned the car would not even start. I had my inpa/IstaD software brought out to me and I reset the transmission adaptions and cleared any codes present. The car then started. Within less than 1km the trans failsafe came back and the car is held in third gear. I coasted the car home where it still sits in fear of doing any more damage. The codes I recieved were as follows.. 1.0000C3-EGS: Transmission switch. 2.00008D-IKE: EGS Signal line disturbed. 3.00000F-EGS: pressure actuator EDS, Total current. 4.000011-EGS: Solenoid valve 2. 5.000030-EGS: Converter lockup clutch, excessive slip. 6.000021-EGS: Speed sensor, turbine. Although the code numbers are BMW specific, I presume you will have a bit more knowledge than me on the subject of the codes. It does hold relevance I am sure that the battery may not have been fully charged as I know these cars are temperamental when it comes to power supply. I appreciate any help in this matter as I am pretty lost at this point and thousands of dollars deep into the transmission issues on this car.@@GaryFerraro

Please advise

This is the comment regarding the zf box issues

ok, if you clear the codes , what comes back? The noise on the shift may be a clutch squawk, Adding a tube of instant shudder fix or a posi additive will usually fix the noise on the shift@@user-me9vg3nn8k

so only engagements into drive or reverse?

Do you have a scan tool that shows live data, you need to see if that pressure switch is changing state

We don’t have one of those, we have tried 2 different sensors and it is getting 5 volts to the sensor. It will drive in 1st without it going into limp mode, but as soon as I shift it into 2nd or 3rd it goes right into limp mode. Just wondering if this might be a valve body issue or solenoid pack.

@@levimartin7380 That switch should change state when it goes to 2nd, if it's not thats why it's going to limp mode, may want to check the wire

Hi Gary, I have e60 series 525i auto petrol and on dash comes transmission fault BMW Code: 4F57 4F57 - Shift monitoring 1-2 System: Transmission Control Do you think Gearbox is gone?

Where are you located?

Where are you located?

@@GaryFerraro I am on Chihuahua México

@@labibliavisual I don't think my supplier can ship there, any family in the states?

@@GaryFerraro Yes, I can have it ordered to El Paso Texas

A Drum No good?

@@GaryFerraro unfortunately I didnt have any shops near me that could diagnose them, most said they don't work on Audi trans.

@@bullet5760 Where are you located?

@@GaryFerraro at the time I was in Nc, I'm in pa now but I no longer have those two anymore since I couldn't get them going again.

@@bullet5760 ok

just have to work it back and fourth and it should come out, try to keep it straight, sometimes they are hard to come out

@@GaryFerraro I have tried tapping it like you did, no luck. It’s very stuck in there. I’m wondering if something small is lodged, it won’t even wiggle.

The snap ring is out correct?@@AndrewJaws

@@GaryFerraro yes, my mechanic just figured it out for me. I hadn’t taken the rubber sleeves out and that was causing the drum to stay in the housing. Everything is out of the case now.

ok, good deal, sorry, i figured they were already out. @@AndrewJaws

Did you e-mail me?

No sorry, Just in the comments here... I will type a reply on the comment so you get a notification @@GaryFerraro

It's pretty beefy bellhousing
