I have pulled the engine and transmission in a few of my E21 3er's before but seeing this thread definitely assures any trans work will go to the dealer......

Well other than a transmission Jack that I already had from last time. Quote:
My X5 would no longer go backwards, and I was not willing to pay a shop $5500 to fix it, I dropped the tranmission out and figured I couldn't make it worse anyway, I have no work shop manuals or instructions, I just took my time and used the ZF spare parts manual as my guide. If you venture down that road, feel free to ask for help. Quote:

Yes everything needs to be lubricated prior to install. I replaced all the friction material, steels, seals, piston rings, o rings, gaskets, and installed some updates. Everything wearable was replaced. And as previous noted, $300 including fluid. Quote:

I would love to see a list or outline of what you mean by 'weak parts of the box'. I have no idea what that means. Thanks. |

Nice work.
What was the mileage when your trans began to fail? Did it have the original fluid? I6 or V8 motor? |

swissfrank - now that you have done this successfully, I bet you could do this as a sideline job - Assuming it all holds together for a good period of time you are probably a natural.
In my experience with transmissions and the guys who repair them it's hit or miss. You are probably in a great spot to make some money given your expertise with the X transmission and it's weaknesses. |
