Transmission Rebuild Pics, do these pics make you want to DIY when it comes time?
Since it was time for me to do the transmission in my Land Rover I took some pics to highlight what the insides of our tranmissions look like. And hopefully inspire some confidence in others. These transmissions are very similar in their construction just differing in the size (larger in the x5 and at least 1 extra gear). ***I do want to point out that both me and my friend are both corporate white collars and not mechanics.*** My Previous Thread post#1 and post#2 This is the complete assembly as it would be inside the transmission front front to back Clutch Packs A to F with planetary gear sets. soaking the friction material in ATF packing the clutches with frictions and steals applying lube to the bearing lining up the cluthces planetary gear set components, also soaking them in ATF The components going back into the case Bottom of transmissio where Valve body attaches to plantary gears inside the case packing the clutch brakes dry friciton material, not yet soaked in ATF valve body - of which the x5 is a lot more complex. case full of components and bell housing attached. you can see the components inside. this is where the tourque converter is attached parking brake pawl you can see the planetary gear set here and the clutch packs valve body stuff assembly lube of choice Last edited by swissfrank; 01-26-2009 at 11:52 PM. |

But seriously, This is my future plans when the time comes. I worked at a trans shop for a lil while before I made it to the dealer. Where did you get the new parts? (company name?) Let us know how she drives when it's all said and done too. (bragging is allowed ![]()

This time I got my parts from a distrubutor that gets them from King-O Matic here in Canada. When I rebuilt my X5 transmission I got the parts from Kirt Koeller at AutoSports Unlimited in the US and shipped to me. The X5 transmission is pretty solid, as long as your F Clutch stays in good shape, you'll be golden =) Quote:
