@user-sp5bn6ye8y I have considered that, and if it was my car, I would have probably done that, but then I would take the risk of having to redo it, if it didn't work. I did this job for a someone else, so I have guarantee a repair. It's still much cheaper than going to a dealer, or what a repair shop would have charged.

@davidrondeau1770 the fuses are in the harness. It's not like a box that you would normally see in a car. Just follow the harness, and will see some rubber caps. The fuses are under those caps

@@olko3418how many are there ?

Oh yeah, trust me I learned a lot. It was a first time I've ever been inside the transmission. It was garbage, so if I ruined it, no big loss. In the last video, I did say that one thing I learned is to get the right tool to remove bushings. But the whole project eventually ended up successful

you mean a clutch bushings will spun and destroy stator?

@MrTurboDima I'm not sure what you mean. Clutches don't have any bushings. The stator bushing, if worn, will destroy the stator, because it's wobbly

@@MrTurboDima if you use a hummer and brut force, most likely you'll ruin the surfaces- that's not the right way to remove those ! then, bushings do not spin usually, they become loose and wear even faster. the result is oil pressure loss in clutch packs, jerky drive, more mechanical damage - this is the main problem.

@@olko3418 there is two bushings on clutch drum a that you replaced on video. if they are to tight they may stuck and destroy stator

Yes. As good as new

It's all in the bushings

Find what, the pump? Try the store, dealer online.

I was only able to determine by measuring how much play it had

Yes. The clutches were only $100, if you go that far, might as well

Not with transmission, it runs good. Other problems are around the engine, timing guides, things like that

Hi, it still sounds like hydraulic pressure problem. It can come from several places; the valve body valves are worn; the ring seals/bushings on shaft are worn; or a piston problem, that it's leaking. When you changed the bridge seal, did you also change the three long seals next to it?

Yes, that was the root cause of the problem. Worn bushings. That one main bushing on the stator probably takes the most abuse. For a quick fix, I could have probably gotten away with replacing just the one bushing, but since the transmission was out its easy enough to replace the rest of them and the clutches.

@@olko3418 thank you

Wish I had one. I just took it apart, and put it back the same way as it came out. Nothing to worry about. Everything fits only in one direction.

@@olko3418 thank you

Hi. Yes, I replaced the clutch packs as well. They are pretty cheap, Like 120 dollars. It's been about two years, so I don't remember the exact code, but it had something to do with "turbine speed"

Two days. Was going slow. My first rebuild

Man this is a tough one. Sounds like the A clutch is not engaging. Let me ask you this, why did you replace the solenoids and seals? Was it because you were trying to fix a problem? Or was it a preventative measure? Solenoids are not all the same, and are not interchangeable. Most of them are not actually solenoids, but rather flow control valves. They actually modulate flow with a current signal. Another important factor in this, is did you buy OEM replacements? Some aftermarket stuff is complete trash. Not saying that's your issue, but may be the problem.

@@olko3418 It had that hard down shift from 2 to 1 but actually that didn't start until I put that Transmax fluid in, it wasn't doing that before so......But I immdeiatliy went and bought the Pentosin ATF but it still did the same thing. so I ordered the kit for the soleniods and the sleezes. Im thinking that they may have sent me the wrong sleeve kit, what do you think? I wish I had kept my old sleeves I still have the solenoids but not the sleeves. One tested bad on the Ohm testing but I didn't notice it before when I was driving. The first time I noticed I had a problem was when I stopped at a stop sign and I went to press the gas and it didn't engage but it caught and I drive home in limp mode. That is so amazing that you took this job on to rebuild your transmission. I was just going to buy a used one and just swap it out but now I want to rebuild it if I can't get it to work. I have rebuilt and Rx7 and I 4 cylinder motor before but I felt like transmissions were out of my league . But after watching you, you inspired me to rebuild mine. I called one Transmission place and they said don't even mess with BMW transmissions which is just really funny to me. I really love this car, it's most awesome car I ever had.

It was a very unfriendly situation! Lift the car up, and make sure its level. Towards the rear back there is a fill plug on the side. First, if intemeber, only three liters went in, then when it starts to overflow. Start the car, the pump will suck the fluid in, and then keep adding more, about two liters, until it starts overflowing, while the car is running. Wear gloves. The fill plug is next to exhaust pipe, and it gets hot very fast. I used a hand pump with a hose.

@@olko3418 how many liters in total did you put in?

@@brahim55 I wish I remember. It was long time ago, but I think it was more than five. Probably close to 8. You can look up in a manual what is the capacity of the whole transmission. If you're gonna take the transmission out anyways, I would drain as much oil from the torque converter as possible. The torque converter probably holds close to 3 liters.

I did not. I think someone had installed a rebuilt valve body hoping it would fix the problem. Since the valve body looked good, I didn't bother, because I had no way of knowing if the solenoids were new or old.

Definitely. Next time I will get a bushing removal tool.

Arbor press too, for proper bushing installation.

Yes. This thing drives so good. You will be happy you did it

Got them online at different places. The bushing kit is from Sonnax. I don't think you can get OEM. The clutches and rubber Orings I got from ebay.

I only did the bushings. I did replace one oring, it was only for the stator housing.

About 2k. Then I sold it, and exactly the same one but a manual 6 speed

No, its all gone

About $250. 100 for clutch pack, 100 for bushings, and the standard seals for valve body (bridge seal, and other o-rings)

@@olko3418 ah ok thank you

@@denisovanhybrid9610 yes, all clutches replaced. If I remember right, it was $120 for all clutch packs. It was a kit. There were two more clutches in the kit for one of the drums, can't remember which, because I think its a kit that covers a few transmission options. I just went back with same amount of clutches for each drum, as original setup had.

@@denisovanhybrid9610 bought it on eBay. Don't remember the brand. Just search for clutch pack for zf6hp

Yes. The bushings were the problem. I also changed the clutch packs since I was in there. I will post a video of how it drove, after the rebuild. Also, the "clunk" is now gone when engine shuts off.
