I really appreciate you putting this tutorial up; I used it to change my gearbox oil over the weekend. I 100% agree that having a good set of large snap ring pliers is a must. I decided to go ahead on the job with my small pliers with the interchangeable head (fully expecting them to break). Although I eventually got them to work (and they didn't break!), it took about 30 minutes of fiddling. That snap ring is a beast and a large set of snap ring pliers makes the job much easier. The only other thing I would add is to make sure you have a device that can get fluid into the gearbox relatively quickly. I had a cheap handpump thing, and when doing the ISTA oil balancing, I couldn't get the additional 2L of oil into the gearbox in time before it reached 40C. I had to redo the process again the next day. The pump you show in this video probably works great, so I'd recommend anyone doing this job get something similar and not attempt it with a handpump like I did.
Nice video, I'm going to do it over the weekend :) the pliers which you used at 2:55 are for external type of snap rings, that is why they didn't work for this internal snap ring :)
I was doing a transmission pan procedure on my 2015 428i once with the ZF8 speed and I was purposefully taking long to do it and by time I had to do the fill procedure, temp was at 52C. I did drive the car around before and it took me 5 or so hours to do the manual labor part. Transmission temperature takes a long long time to go down.
Maybe I missed it but do you plug the ethernet cable directly into the car or does the ethernet cable plug into an OBDII adapter that plugs into the car?
Heads up to you mate. Just 1 thing. Try get the car higher next time your under and you wont drop everything and stuff flying all over. Bit higher you can get both arms in 1 to pull of push one to steady.!!!
Very helpful. Great camera positions and video quality. Audio was excellent as was the demonstration. Thank you for sharing this.
So glad you’ve put this video online as I’m hoping to do this myself in the near future. Keep up the great content! 👍

Brilliant footage Will. I would recommend a pair of cattle veterinarian gloves however...

Thanks. The pliers were actually the cheap interchangeable internal/external style ones. It’s not strong enough to remove the snap ring.
@@WillsGarageOfficial I agree, those wouldn’t have the strength, I have them too :)

Nice! Thank you
Great video! Currently Looking into a 2013 M5, what mileage intervals should the DCT fluid be changed?
Does anybody know if this can be done properly with a snap-on Zeus+ scanner?
About to go ahead and do mines. Did you feel a difference after the new fluid?
Hi Will, could you post a link for the software you used? Ty

Where did you get your version of ISTA+?
+1 looking for ista+
clean your engine oil pick up tube. From time to time
잘봤슴다.😮
