did I miss it? How many miles and what was prior maintenance on you tranny?
Be nice if the guys at worldwide could do the rebuild. Especially since you already have the beefed up VB. Shipping is the beeatch i guess.
thx for posting, SUPER helpful as these trannies are black boxes ...to us.

182k is our E61 that just got it's trans serviced, no VB rebuild, just seals and Liqui Moly fluid, though I have a suspicion the trans had been serviced before. It's been running great. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood, and throws salt over shoulder.* Though I guess it better be, put $4000+ in parts into it last year after we bought it.
We bought the E70 almost 3 years ago at 136000 miles. Current mileage is just a tick over 167000 miles. Should have changed fluids/filter then, but I didn't know anything about the ZF boxes at the time. Hah! I still don't really, but I'm working on it.
Yes, it would be great if they could rebuild it for me after pulling. But I think I read about a good ZF shop either here in SA or in Houston. If this keeps going south the E61 will have to shoulder the burden of moving the trans to the shop. Nice that it has rear air.

No joke. HAH! But I did get it at 136k, so technically, the fault is on one of the PO's. Or at least that's what I'm going to tell myself.
