Wow guys, definitely a big step forward! And about the trance fluid. If there is metal in the trans, It's on the magnets now. I believe there are 4 magnets in this type of transmission. So You have to take the pan of and check the magnets! Btw, so you have to tow an E... with it, hahaha ;-). Dutch regards, Nico.
My 4.6 used to thump from 2nd to 1st when pulling up at lights. The motor runs at by memory at 112deg c. And because the tranny cooler goes thru the radiator it heats the tyranny. Bmw use the 112 deg thermostat for pollution reasons. REMIDY. PURCHASED A 80 Deg thermostat from Europe came with adapter kit app $200. Worked great motor runs cool tyranny runs cool doesn't thump any more 2nd to 1st. And won't destroy all the plastics on motor because of less heat. Engine oil temp runs cooler never over100deg. Normally app 80 to 90 deg . Great mod P runs
Not sure my OCD likes the idea of retaing the factory cooler as you are essentially going to be bleeding off engine coolant heat also. But I doubt it'll run cold in QLD and or while towing.
Can you please pull apart the failed N54? Lol. I've been checking this channel for months (feels like months) and the curiosity has been killing me haha.
Hey Brian, i am sorry its been so long, its just sitting in the corner on the stand looking sad.......You are right its been bloody months. I need to get my ass together and get something sorted to store it in once it is pulled apart.
Be careful with the O rings on the radiator cooler. I had mine pop out and spill all of the coolant in a drive thru after doing a whole cooling system service.
I think a lot of the heat just comes from being bolted to the engine. If the trans did no work. Eventually the heat from the motor, will heat soak in to the trans.
Yeah this silly factory heat exchangers ALWAYS drip when you bump them around. And they always seal back up when you run the car. Strange. **** READ THIS! ****. Hey get some Mothers Metal Mag and Aluminum Polish on a small foam buffing pad on a drill and use it on the headlights!! 5 minutes and the headlights will look almost new. Don’t bother with the headlight restore kits or sanding. The Mothers is some sort of magic stuff on headlights!!
My car is in Nigeria where it never gets bellow 25°C my trans is at a constant 180°F I took the thermostat out today hoping that would drop the temp. but it made hardly any difference temps are at 165°F what could be causing these high temps. ? transmission shifts strangly, it shifts from 2nd to 5th gear if you try to pull away lightly causing the car to slow down and will only downshift if you prod the throttle sharply. What could be the issue?
@ZeroTo60Tube No air to air cooler yet but I have plans to install one. Is 180°F normal for these ZF transmissions? That's about 82°C seems a bit high in my opinion.
Thanks dude!! It was a no loose situation and it turned out great. After the road trip we have now done 7000klms on this box i had no idea it was so many.
If my trans cooler pulls out of place due to radiator explosion I think it hit trans cooler and since then finding it hard to keep it pushed in place . I do see o ring on top and 1 on bottom of cooler but hard time pushing it in place can you give advice. And when cooler comes apart does it cause trans fluid to become low ?
Help me bro. Why is my x5 not as fast as it I. E was 2 years ago. It’s been sitting with a bad axle non driven for two years. I just got it running yesterday and it has power but the shifts are longer especially if I rev it it won’t change shits properly
@@wierdodude102 no. The worst happened to me. Some one hit my parked car the x5 and they drove off I have it in non operational so I didn't have insurance cuz I was fixing it not driving it now it's un drivable and a major setback :(
hell no, they look so much better than stock. unlike the 39s and 46's the 53s never got decent lci tails. these really look like the 46 and 39 lci tails
@@ZeroTo60Tube Ok fair enough haha. I have an e39 m5 and an Estoril blue 4.6is and both are 100% stock which I get a hard time for a lot. Make sure to do the timing chain guides on the X5.

Excited to see what the “new” car will be! A quick install that actually went to plan... congrats 👏🏼
Saw your message in the car today but need to do some more research before replying!
@@ZeroTo60Tube whatever it is, let's turbo it 😁

My car is doing this too. We already rebuilt the transmission. Why didn’t I think of this sooner !
Enjoy the road trip, drive safely

"can't really see it, yeah that's pretty noticeable" hahaha! Nice vid lads.
Awesome the trans is good. Headlights could do with a resto.
I hear ya haha. The entire exterior is getting some TLC soon
Great context much love from USA
Thanks man appreciate the love!
A cool solution, which also makes a huge difference in general, would be to replace the original 105 degree engine thermostat with an 85 degree one.
I love the E53!
Great work guys 💪🏻😀

hope the road trip went well guys!
Should be home by midnight! 😅
I need to do this to my 4.6 as well. What cooler did you go with? I was thinking to find a longer more narrow one and run it behind the bumper area...
Nice! When you gonna polish those headlights? They look as bad as the ones on the mk4 gti I had!
Haha the whole exterior is getting a lot of love soon. Luckily they still work very well!
Your floor looks like a Jackson Pollack painting!😂😂
Love the vids! Can your next project be making a fast e46 330ci? That be sickkk
Would love to turbo or SC an e46 330! Our dads stock one is great to drive as it is
Hi have a similar transmission. Which aftermarket oil did use? thanks
Penrite atf
all this talk of hot weather makes me feel sorry for the supercharged M5 IATs even more haha
Did you guys ever fix the problem with the indicators on the dash, my E53 has started the same problem
Which problem was that?
@@ZeroTo60Tube the indicator light on the dash not working and no clicking from the indicator stalk
@@camerondennington9102 ahhhh if i remember correctly it was the LCM, light control module was faulty.
So is the transmission heated up by the coolant? Why does it get so hot?
I think a lot of the heat just comes from being bolted to the engine. If the trans did no work. Eventually the heat from the motor, will heat soak in to the trans.
Where did u get your parts
Yeah this silly factory heat exchangers ALWAYS drip when you bump them around. And they always seal back up when you run the car. Strange.

Will have to give the metal polish trick a go thats for sure. Its something i have never tried on headlights.
Don't you just love the qld weather its either hot hot or... hot hot 🥵
Sometimes it’s hot hot hot

@@jonathondeeds3423 anything under 100degc is pretty safe.
@AndrewAstley well I guess I'm good then 165°F is around 78°C
Still think it's Impressive that you tackled that transmission fix, and that it worked! Good job with the cooler

Meant radiator reservoir exploded.but now have problems pushing trans cooler back in place
It's hard to comment without seeings yours in front of me. However very good chance that is your problem with loosing fluid.
The fluid coming out was not good, but I get the feeling you know that.
Why wasn’t it good? It was really clean in to look at
Was that an E55 AMG you were saying??
Haha one day

dude could be many things. make sure the battery is charged, fuel is good, air filters good, plugs and coils. Cars dont like sitting that is for sure.
Have you checked your cats? I had a blocked cat on my 4.6is and it lost power, would rev slowly on acceleration and shift funny.
@@wierdodude102 no. The worst happened to me. Some one hit my parked car the x5 and they drove off I have it in non operational so I didn't have insurance cuz I was fixing it not driving it now it's un drivable and a major setback :(
" how hard can it be!"
Famous last words 😅
What AN size did you guys used? AN8 or AN10?
AN10 mainly, but i think it is an AN8 push on to tap in to the old lines.
Okay,inside the new cooler is it radiator cooler or gearbox oil?
@@ZeroTo60Tube okay,i get it. Its gearbox oil. 😅
