ALPINA TCU flash is known to be extremely "slippy" feeling. Would not recommend to flash it on anything. Stage 2/3 XHP is the way to go. I think it would have been nice to see the difference with just a stock TCU flash without any hardware changes.

Done an oil change, sleeves and valve body seal (plate) xHP Stage 3 flashed. The more I drive the less you can feel those issues so I don't think it's something mechanical because adaptation values are good and the oil was pretty clean 😢

The 6hp21 will not hold big torque for very long. Over 550-600wtq it starts the slip in between gears and eventually just starts getting worse and worse. I just recently swapped in the diesel transmission (6hp28) from the 335d as I was having slipping issues on 2 6hp21s @30psi. The 6hp28 in stock form is rated for double the torque and power than the 6hp21 from the factory and it is direct bolt on (with adapter plates) and exact same gear ratio as the 6hp21. Check out my latest video if you wanna see some more information on that as it was very successful and now I’m good for up to 1200ftlbs with rod Sutphin trans tune but good luck with yours man 🤙🏼

It’s really hard to recommend someone. The only guy I know we’ll enough in the entire bris area is Dan from simply tuning. But he is a specialist for going fast and you will be paying a lot of money for maintenance that could be done at a cheaper rate. I know of a lot of shops in bris that say they specialise in euros. I don’t know of any that are actually good at it when the cars get a bit of age on them. The specialists are great for servicing and modding new ish cars but don’t have the experience with older stuff, so you pay through your teeth. Can recommend a mate up here on the coast.

Are the valve body solenoids really worth replacing if the car has been shifting fine? Just did this service but only did the seals, adapter plug, and fluid/filter.

From experience, yes. But only if you are chasing acceleration numbers or racing. They control shift times which is a big deal for these things.

[@kar4tube]

I recently did this exact same maintenance on my 6AT, solenoids and all. I reset the adaptions as well, and downloaded the re-learning instructions from FCP - they're a bit daunting to be honest,. I'm just curious about how you went about doing the re-learning with the Vargas car here? I live about 150 km up the coast from LA, and the terrain here is hilly! There aren't many open stretches of level roadway, and the only freeway 'round here (the 101) is bustling most hours of the day and conspicuously patrolled by local PD at night. Unfortunately there aren't any nearby raceways either. As a workaround, I just took my 135i out for several gentle drives around town, hoping the TCM will learn organically. Is that realistic?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Look don't tell anyone, but back in the day when i did my ZF6 in the x5 in 2018 and my zf6 in the 17t car in 2019. I did the legit proper learning process, every god damn step to a tee, it takes ages and you really have to do it at night and a decent road. Now I just do 5-10 light accelerations in d, or until its shifting right at say 25% throttle. Then the same at 50%, then the same at 75%. I come to a stop after every acceleration. If i find it flaring on a particular shift i will keep doing it until it's smooth. Then i do sports mode at 50%, 75% and 100% throttle and then just do manual mode at 75% and 100% thottle for the manual mode, i dont bother coming to a stop just do a decent pull thought 1st to 4th. After that i come to a complete stop and go reverse for 2-3 seconds back to N about 5 times, then the same for D. I will also do some short shift in manual mode at wot. Basically put the trans through the conditions i drive it. However you have to do that light load learning in d mode first.

[@joykiller4u]

Great informative video! The step by step was a lot more clear than other peoples tbh, so good on you for that. However, I was curious that you didn't attempt to have the zip kit placed to tackle some of the faults with the transmission in the first place. The sonnax zip kit will fix most of the wear and tear inside the "mechatronics unit" and prolong the life of the unit as well as the crisp "like new" shifts. Curious to get your input on that! Otherwise, enjoyed watching through the whole thing.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Honestly its purely because i have never personally seen a trans that needs a zip kit. Thats all. Im sure they exist for a reason, just not seen it needed personally.

[@miceinoz1181]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Depends on the mileage really. Most businesses that repair these transmissions appreciate the wear that occurs in the valve body over time, especially if the trans has not been oil/filter serviced appropriately. Many parts in the zip kit are designed to address those issues. Downside is that you will need to buy a new seperator plate as these ruin the gallery seals once removed, but they are cheap enough. BTW, a year later I paid $74 for 4 litres of Penrite fluid. And the ZF manual says the adaptions must be cleared and a relearn done if you change the soleniods. This is specific.

[@jacoblami1731]

Is there a shift lever solenoid in the ZF6HP for a 2007 e92 335i RWD besides the ones on the valve body? Reason I ask is my car abruptly decided it won't go into drive or reverse...usually you lose one before the other goes shortly after but not at the same time without warning. I've already verified the pump is working because I get line pressure at the cooler...There's definitely enough (lifeguard 6) fluid in it as I've already verified when I swapped the valve body with a known good unit from my parts car along with new genuine solenoids and new seals all around...which also didn't fix my issue. It for some reason moves in neutral at about 3000 RPM (I didn't try this for very long). Clutches are only 15000km old and I found almost 0 material on the magnets when I dropped the pan to swap the valve body. While I do have a spare I'd prefer not to drop the trans to swap the torque converter if I don't have to as I'm working on jackstands and don't have a lift.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Could be an oil pressure problem based on what you are describing. What ever it is, it will be an internal issue in the box. Please update this comment when you find out what it is.

[@jacoblami1731]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Figured it out. I was checking the line pressure before the cooler like an idiot and not after (at the cooler outlet). Turned out the cooler was clogged with clutch material likely from before I had the new packs put in which prevented the pressure needed to engage the gears. Been meaning to upgrade anyways so I switched to a stand alone BMS air cooled unit that sits in driver side wheel well just like the engine oil cooler does on the other side...more work than I felt like doing but now it's flawless. Doesn't explain why I could rev it to 3000 in neutral and make the car crawl...but It's not doing that anymore and shifts better than brand new with xHP Stage 4 flashed.

Clutch fill pressures are A:5.0, B:18.0, C:7.0, D:18.0, E:0.0 all rapid fill times are currently 0.0. So huge change from prior to doing the maintenance. Super happy with how its driving this morning.

[@iankerr6526]

i just put 17ts on my n54 and my transmission does not like it in 5th and 6th gear, might need a new transmission :( hopefully its something smaller like this though

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Its worth trying this. However the more i learn, once they start to slip the damage is done.

[@eddieellison7679]

One thing I never hear about! How good are these stock transmissions? 500 600hp good?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

A good condition trans will hold 800hp at the crank. Maybe more, if you have decent software on it. This one has been miss treated by previous owners. Like never serviced before 190,000ks, i still intend on pushing that 800hp figure through it. My other car was over 700hp and again poorly maintained trans, that never skipped a beat at over 700hp. But like in the video i did all this stuff to my other one too.

Can I do this for a E92 328ix Going for 340 or better whp. Prepping for ess supercharger

You can. But I would look at selling the car and swapping to a n54. Will be cheaper in the long run and twice as fast.

[@kha2294]

Hopefully someone sees this I did the same thing on my car yesterday now the wheels aren’t moving when the car is in drive or reverse is this due to low fluid?

[@jorgeperez3291]

Did you fix the issue? My car won’t come out of parking

[@jamarclark4921]

I need to do this cause my 3-4th gear doesn’t like to shift properly. Shoots up in rpm’s trying to catch 4th. I’m extremely scared cause I heard shifting gets worse after doing this job. And having to reset adaptations and all that 😩😩😩😩

[@PaleAura1]

Clutch Pack E is gone on your transmission. You'll need a rebuild or swap in a used trans. Happened to me and I completely lost the ability to shift into gears 4-6. Keep an eye on your transmission temps. I was quoted 4500$ for a transmission rebuild. Used trans swap will run like 1300$ for labor and trans oil and rear main seal. Shop sourced me a trans for $1400 so I could get a warranty out of it. I'm stage 2+ 93oct. I'd say being tuned really made the issue worse. Stock power levels the trans was fine

[@PaleAura1]

FYI I also replaced the solenoids and gaskets and did new filter and oil before clutch E blew. It felt better but it only delayed the inevitable.

[@hyde_official]

Can I do this on F22 N20?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Being a f series you should have the zf8. Which is a much better box. The zf8 uses a seperate oil pump system which doesn’t have the pressure losses like the zf6……… yet. However even though the zF8 seems pretty good or at least we don’t know common failure points yet. It’s still worth doing a fluid change if you have modified the motor.

[@hyde_official]

I believe in my case a fluid change is what I have to tackle

[@GregoryOcol]

Awesome video! Released just on time. I've got a "newer" gen 2 zf6hp21 TCU along with a low mileage valvebody ready to retrofit into a pre 03/07 car after some maintenance. Can't wait to feel crisp shifts along with V3 instead of V2.1 of XHP.

[@BimmerMafia]

How did retrofit work out.

[@GregoryOcol]

@@BimmerMafia It was well worth it. Car shifted great with the low mileage valvebody and v3 tune. I would definitely do it again.

You should have did the zip kit .

Im yet to see a car thats needed a zip kit. However im sure if your trans is particularly bad they are wroth doing.

@@ZeroTo60Tube pushing 650hp on my n55 running at 27psi with only the zip kit done to it zero slips. Never upgraded the solenoids. When I took the valve body apart found the little Circular puck pieces dead flat not holding any pressure. It’s been 15k miles and the car has 177k miles 🤞🏽

[@Sooners84Gaming]

Any ideas why my shifts would be extremely rough under boost? I’m running 22 lbs and if I shift with my foot with all the gas it’s a terrible experience, feels like it slips, rpms shoot up, haven’t tested if it’s every gear but something is definitely wrong. I’m running xHP stage 3 on sportive +

Having this exact problem with my 6hp21! Any update on if this solved the issue for good? Thanks!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

This made it better. However i didnt realise how much power the motor was making at the time. I actually blew the motor and the trans up about month after this. But she making over 700whp when it did the trans.

[@TheAFKD]

why not just drop in a 6hp28?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Mainly because i haven't seen the need for one personally. I know there are a lot of people that have issues at these power levels with the 6AT, but my 17T car never even started to play up at over 700hp and that was without even running the line pressure bump, so i am looking to see how this ones goes at around the 800hp mark. The HP28 is great if you are snapping shafts or if you have clutch slip issues. But realistically you shouldn't be having those issues if your 6at is in good nick.

[@yash_2036]

I got problem, after changed oil transmission. It feel slipy, from 2nd to 3rd gear. Is it bad solenoid?or something else?. Hope u answer mate. *i've change oil atf 77 zf6

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It could be anything in the trans. Sticky solenoid, oring/bush issue bleeding oil or worn clutches. If you didn’t have the problem before it may be something as simple as oil level. If you had it before the change. The only economical fix is the bridge seal.

[@yash_2036]

@@ZeroTo60Tube i just changed the bridge seal, clean up the bodyvalve and oiled it according to zf6. now it's better. Thx for your advice. I worry the problem coming from not suitable oil

[@friguy4444]

Too bad Mitsubishi (I think that's who made the OEM turbos) didn't make the oem tubskis with V clamps on them like these. It would have made changing out the turbos So much easier. At least now if the guys want to change theirs out for something else they should be able to do it without pulling absolutely everything off. That is if it has a V clamp on the end of it to mate up. That's one way of promoting brand loyalty LOL.

What's a mechanic gonna charge you for that? They charge enough just for a trans service

Materials engineering and composite materials are extremely robust with huge weight and manufacturing benefits. It’s not a downgrade!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You have to hand it to BMW it’s a cost vs chance of failure calculation that they nailed, these things last really well, well past the new car warranty period. I feel you need to give them a decent birthday every 10 or so years when they are in daily use and at least all the bits are cheap to replace. Not like a metal part that might last 50% longer and cost 3-4 times the price

[@eriqrosado3337]

@@ZeroTo60Tube your right I love my e90 n52. I believe I’m the 3rd owner and if that’s true I lucked out cause the first two owners took fantastic care of her. Until the person I got the car from had it sitting or they sold it to me as the bigger issuers were starting to show there ugly leaky seals… but all in all I can say that for them using so much plastic I can say that a lot less has gone wrong with my car then I was expecting. But again it goes back to treating the car with as much care as you’d want it to give you. 🤣. And to some that’s a funny thing to say but I can say from experience that every car I’ve ever owned and not just bmw. If you take care of them they will take care of you.
