No matter how many times we change the atf fluid.If there's wear on the internal components of the automatic transmission,changing the atf fluid will not resolve it and the car may not even drive anymore.Do you agree?
I guess that depends on what’s worn and how bad. If you have no more friction material left then when you flush it you won’t have the gritty fluid to help and it could make it worse. You should change the fluid before you have problems. But changing fluid can resolve issues, I had a transfer case in a f25 bmw x3 that would shutter when turning and doing a fluid swap fixed the issue.
You probably seen both the 8hp70 and 8hp75 for the V8 Ram 1500, do the housings have the same dimensions and mounting patterns ? I want to swap my 70 for a 75 and use the 8hp70's electronics so everything is plug n play.
Hey, i've been looking your videos for some time. Actually i started doing some 8hp70 myself. Please tell me the secret how to correctly install 7 rectangular rings without breaking them? 5 near the pump and 2 where d clutch. I found it very difficult to install after 10 times trying i have no air leaks so i was wondering maybe there is some special way?😏
Hey gary i got a 8hp45 bmw f30 320d it was stuck in park stripped down the box and found p2 carrier spinning on input shaft replaced that now when changing to 6th it hesitates and goes back to 5th and then limp mode gear ratio error 5> x any advise will be greatly appreciated
Hello Gary, thanks for this very interesting video. Nice to see how skillfully you work with these complex gears. I also have a ZF automatic, I think the 45 (BMW F36) I also have a problem with my zf automatic transmission. As I roll the car towards the stoplight, I hear a grinding noise until I come to a stop. When I let the car roll towards a traffic light and I hear the noise and put it in neutral, the noise is gone. So it must be gearbox i think. It still shifts well, a little harsh at times, but they all have that in the long run. What do you think, when you read my story? regards.
Ok, Question, while standing still foot on the brake car in drive or reverse, do you hear the noise? if you do, when you put it in Neutral or park does the noise go away?
@@GaryFerraroIs that because they fail so frequently and you get lots of business? The bridge seals failed on my 6HP in my BMW 545i at very low miles and lead to clutch slip from loss or hydraulic pressure (due to leak) and the transmission was toast by 90k miles despite it being serviced twice in that time.
@@danrazumovsky ok, I dont have the info in front of me, but i believe it's about 50 Inch pounds then an extra 90 Degree turn. It's either 45 or 90 degree turn
Thanks for the video! I am following this video to replace the oil pump for my 2014 RS7 transmission and having hard time sourcing parts like one time use bolts, seals etc. Which supplier(s) do you recommend?
In the original bmw workplace manual for 8hp45/70 they diddnt say to replace the bolts only the sealant ring arount them how do u feel to use them again? I work on the same transmission for a project. And indeed some parts are difficult to find. Thanx in advance ur videos help me alot

My zf8hp70 in my 2015 Range Rover sport is heating up, I can feel it in my cabin next to my knee . I had the transmission filter and fluid changed but it didn’t help much. Do you know what could be the issue?
@@GaryFerrarojust the heat on the side of the center console. One time I got a clutch overheating error message when I revved it high in 1st shifted to 2nd
probably but also could be just that the clutch pressure adaptives are maxed and cant command more pressure a quick transmission readout software wise could help if the clutch fails the trans will throw a code since its super smart and knows if something is wrong
Gary, I just used your video to tear down and rebuild my hp70. When I installed it my dash cluster says its not in park and is in limp mode. Any ideas you could offer would be greater appreciated. Great video btw. Thanks
Question for anybody knowledgeable here....sometimes my 8HP95 will shift from 2 to 1 while creeping forward after coming to a stop. The engagement from 2 to 1 is a very hard engagement. Speedometer reads around 1-2 mph when then happens. Is this normal?
hi, that's bad programming on the transmissions part had that aswell and chose to just remove 1st gear all together in software so it doesnt do that anymore.
Gary, quite recently we brought my 2016 1500 ram, with this transmission, into the shop because of a card in bike stokes sound when I hit the 30-40 mph range. It would go away upon manually shifting or putting it into neutral. To me, everything pointed to the MDS, even found a video that sounded exactly like the problem I had and it was the MDS.. So, they brought it in and said no, its the transmission pump.. its chain driven and when we put it up on the lift we can feel the pump shaking. But watching this video leads me to believe how could they feel the pump shaking especially where the transmission is on the dodges... they said when on the lift they replicated the speed and could see it shaking, could feel it shaking... nevertheless they diagnosed the problem as being the oil pump is shot. Is there any way that the chain can slack and cause a card in bike stokes kind of noise??
If it were pump you would hear it all the time, the pump is always turning. So you hear a noise in drive and reverse and goes away in park and neutral?
@@GaryFerraro So I only hear the "ticking noise" when I am decelerating and enter into the 40- 30 mph range... the sound will come and go. But if I use the manual shifters on the wheel the sound goes away.
Thanks for these videos, they're really helpful. I'd love if you gave a rebuild/reassembly video for this same transmission. *LIKED*
will keep that in mind
I used your videos to rebuild my X5 transmission.
As always , amazing Garry.
Thanks for teaching.
Thank you for your video and knowledge.
Make it look so easy.
Muchas gracias por tus video 👍
Pretty tricky one there
What was the total cost in this rebuild for the parts? Great video too 👍
One acre of parts for a f. gearbox.
Oh shit, this is the one I have been waiting for. 8HP70 and a 90 is what I want to see.
Not a bad unit to work on just parts are hard to ge
A Nag1 to 8 speed swap would be nice!!!

Not anymore, shop is way to busy so now i just purchase rebuilt ones

Ever had an 8HP70 with a harsh at times 2-3 shift?
I have had some with harsh downshifts, i reset the shift adapts and it fixed it
yup bad adaptives do that for you. reset, if its still happening a tune up on the transmisson will most likely fix that.
