No recall that I know of. Since these transmissions made it though the warranty period, they wouldn't need to issue a recall.

I have an extra transmission for sale. The one I have for sale, has the shift cable, and the fill plug on the passenger side. about 92,000 miles on it. No torque converter.

I cant seem to find any information on this, search isn't showing anything but perhaps I am wording it wrong. Can you put a 4.6 trans in a 4.4 without anything else? My transmission has gone and to minimize my downtime I would like to get a second trans and rebuild. In my neck of the woods there seems to be more 4.6 transmissions for sale then 4.4's. If anyone can point out information on this it would be appreciated.

I understand this, however it does not mean that its not interchangeable does it? I have found nowhere online that says that it cannot be used. I get it has different internals, and a different TC which requires a different bellhousing, however the M62 is an M62, so tell me why it will not work. Or better yet tell me that it will work. I realize it may require a different TCU, but again that should only be a coding issue correct?

If anyone has any real world experience with installing the 034 where the 029 was please chime in.

thanks
Dave

I agree that it would be interesting to hear from anyone that’s tried it.

The 034 model would certainly physically fit in place of the 029 unit. I would imagine that the torque ratio characteristics of the 280mm L51 converter would be similar to the 260mm F38/A85 but it’s unlikely to be a good match on K-factor to the lower torque engine so you’d be better off using the smaller torque converter. The bellhousing is made from the same casting so that wouldn’t be an issue. The remaining differences will come down to shift quality and whatever changes were made to the control system.

You might give IPT a call. The modify BMW transmissions. I suspect they would be a good source to get reliable input. There is also a good source on this forum. I don't know his handle but if your search some of the transmission related threads I'm sure you can find him and send him a private message. I'm pretty sure the at least the bell housing and torque convertor on the 4.6 transmission are different to accommodate the HP/TQ of the 4.6 but that doesn't mean it won't fix.

I've tried looking through the Trans posts, and there are several, do you remember just what this user did? I was hoping that perhaps he would chime in.

It is my understanding he rebuilds BMW transmissions. He is very knowledgeable. I think it is RRPhil that has already commented.

Same applies to XF Gearbox?

Quote:
Transmission (inside):
Symptoms: 1. downshifts started to get very rough and also 1-2-3 shifts seemed rough
2. it began as slipping and jerking under certain stop & go traffic situations. Sometimes would end up in 5th gear and in trans failsafe. Car had about 95K miles on it at the time. It seemed to worsen over a few months, so taking the initial easy approach

Findings: broken O-ring in one of the clutch actuators. Some of the O-rings seemed brittle but the friction disks all seemed perfect and no problem with any bearings either.
Repair: ZF repair kit $900 which includes one needle bearing in the A/B clutch and the main output bearing as well as the friction disks
Suggestion: ZF repair kit $900

Hi fmugur

My 2001 X5 3D had the same issues described in Transmission (inside) points 1 and 2, slipping regularly and now it will only engage very briefly when the engine is cold and rev very high to move just slightly. Once the engine is warm, will not move at all. The gearbox is the XF one (made by GM) - do the fixes generally apply to this box too? Realoem quotes it as part 24007508857, A5S 390R - XF.

I tried topping up the oil (added 2L before it trickled out) but no difference at all. No error codes appearing.

Many thanks to you for your brilliant post!
G
