Hey Gary, Just want to thank you for putting these videos out there. I'm working up steam to rebuild my zf6hp21, oil filter blockage caused some damage, I think the rollerbearing in the Oil pump assembly let go. only one way to find out!

[@donaldcastillo2322]

Thank u I never work on a bmw your video gave me the confident I can do it

[@GaryFerraro]

Great Job!! Glad everything worked out

[@denisovanhybrid9610]

Omega versus DuraBond bushings? Or are they both the same?

[@GaryFerraro]

I prefer Durabond

[@DavidFowler-n6c]

Hi Gary, I really appreciate your videos. I’m about to overhaul a 6HP26 in Australia and was going to ask if you think Sonnax bushings are ok to use ? I can probably get the Omega machine bushings if you think they are better. Thank you

[@gopex1567]

Great video!! Appreciate your sharing your experience. What is the name or part number of your bearing punch??

[@williamneedham7747]

Hi Gary thanks for another couple of great and informative videos, I'm just replacing the bushings on my 6hp26X(06 E53 X5 diesel) I have removed the rear stator bushing and come to fit the new one and checked it on the drum shaft and it seems rather loose, I've checked/measured the shaft and it's not worn and no low spots. I've fitted the bush to see if once fitted it would snug up and take out some of the play but it does seem to wiggle alot to say it's also a fluid pressure seal? I know some kits have two sizes of stator bushing but the difference in sizes is significant so you can't mix them up. I've ordered a different make of bushing kit so I'll see if it's perhaps a poorly machined bushing? What kind of fit and I looking for between the bushing and drum shaft, noticeable play or a snuggish fit? Thanks again for your videos and sharing some of your vast knowledge.

[@GaryFerraro]

Really should be no play but the drum has to turn free. What bushings did you get?

[@williamneedham7747]

@@GaryFerraro it's a set I bought from eBay which claimed to be OEM replacement, I suspect on reflection that they're possibly a Chinese copy unfortunately 🙄 I've ordered another set from a reputable transmission supply company over here in the UK which is coming in later today so I'll see how they fit, hopefully alot better as there's definitely some play there at the moment 😔 thanks for your reply and help.

Hi Gary, thank you for the videos. They are a great help. I am in the process of rebuilding a 6HP28 unit. I wanted to ask your opinion on what to do with torque converter and friction discs. My transmission was losing 2 liters of fluid every 8 months or so. The TC seemed fine, no noises. Is it absolutely necessary to have the TC rebuilt? Also is it a good idea to replace all friction discs while it all apart?

[@GaryFerraro]

In My opinion yes, it should be done. What was leaking on the transmission that you had to add fluid

[@TheDzsergey]

@@GaryFerraro Thanks for replying. Either input shaft seal or the large O-ring around the pump. It appeared to only leak while driving because there was never any transmission fluid where the car was parked. So you are saying to do the TC and the frictions or just the TC. I haven’t dug into the clutch packs yet but A and E don’t have any discoloration on the drums.

[@TheDzsergey]

There was some transmission fluid at the bottom of the bell housing where that access hole is and on the wiring harness under it.

[@GaryFerraro]

@@TheDzsergey that is a common leak by the harness

[@TheDzsergey]

Could you recommend a couple of sources for friction plates kit? I am struggling finding them online. Thanks.

[@poleypops]

Hi Gary, so I completely overhauled my Zf6hp 26 auto with new Torque converter, new bushings, new friction plates, new solinoids, rebuilt the valve body with Sonax kit and reset all the adaptions etc..... I'm still getting the 1-2 gear clunk and 2 down to 1st gear Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh any ideas sir? Thank you

[@GaryFerraro]

Before you do anything reset adapts again but make sure no codes are present in trans ad engine or adapts may not wor. Also, these transmissions adapt when trans temp is 130F or above

[@martinious2507]

Hello Gary, Firstly thanks for your information and we'll explained vidios. I have a question on the bushing replacement. The rear output drum and speed sensors pack had a bushing which is 'Staked' in position. Can you advise on the best method of replacement for a back street machanic please. Best Regards Martyn

[@GaryFerraro]

Martyn Durkin Hello If that bushing looks ok and they normally do leave it alone. That one I rarely change

[@aqeelrana6678]

Great video by the way

[@carlosolivero9687]

Hi Gary, my zf6hp26 after driving for long ride then coming to a stop. I get a slight bump motion (jerk action), I suspect is the bushings. How long do I have before the problem gets worse ? Trying to financially prepare. Thanks for your advice and videos.)

[@georgelopez5926]

Hi Gary, is the chisel you have homemade or you bought it..

[@GaryFerraro]

That is from Snap-on called a bushing splitter, It's actually blue point product

[@aqeelrana6678]

Hello Gary. at 6:42 the smaller drum spins freely. In my installation its very stiff. Does it have to be that free or will it correct it self when driven?

[@GaryFerraro]

It should spin free, if tight, there is a chance the bushing will come out of place, try to lighty tap on the smaller drum to try to seat it in place. ary

[@aqeelrana6678]

Hello Gary. The last bushing you showed did they have lube holes in them? Coz I see Lube holes in a bushing where the planetary system is, and I cant not see how to install or remove since they have three notches on top. Your help woulb be greatly appreciated.

[@GaryFerraro]

Was the time at 7.05 on the video? If so the bushing is solid, all of the bushings are solid

[@aqeelrana6678]

Does that mean you didn't change the bushing which is in the 4th gear drum and has lube holes in the actual bushing. Thank you for your time and help.

[@aqeelrana6678]

I believe its called input/output shaft bushing

[@GaryFerraro]

Does it go in the pump?

[@aqeelrana6678]

No. In you tear down video its last drum you remove after removing the nut from the back. You reference it as 4th gear on the outside

[@mohamadalzoubi6787]

Very nice . Thanks sir

[@locoviejo1able]

Hello Gary, how much do you charge to do the rebuild on the same transmission?

[@GaryFerraro]

What is the year,make,model and engine size of your car

[@RoRo20699]

Is the output shaft bushing not DIY doable? Mine has "swaging" that needs to be cut out, looks like.

[@GaryFerraro]

That bushing is normally ok, I would leave it, doesn't get much wear on it

[@RoRo20699]

Gary Ferraro Thanks Gary. And yes, I noticed it’s still fully bronze coated and looks as good as my new ones, so I was leaning towards just leaving it.

[@Haya3usaGsxr]

Hello , i want to renew my 6hp28 ,where i can buy the tools kit for replace all bushings please?

[@GaryFerraro]

Hi Garry, where can I buy rebuild kit for 6hp26? Would prefer genuine if I can

[@GaryFerraro]

where are you located?

[@mrgabriale]

@@GaryFerraro New Zealand. I would need to freight it

[@GaryFerraro]

@@mrgabriale Can you find anything on-line or on Ebay?

[@mrgabriale]

@@GaryFerraro don’t really know what or who to trust so that I can get a good product

[@GaryFerraro]

@@mrgabriale There is a company in Europe called Automatic Choice, I am in Talks with them for some 8 speed ZF parts WWW.Automaticchoice.com i believe is the website, check them out

[@auto-kaputt]

good work

[@GaryFerraro]

Thank you

[@skatir9]

So do you prefer the omega bushing kits over the durabond kits from transtar?

[@GaryFerraro]

My Rep has been sending me the durabond bushing kits, havent had a problem yet

[@donaldcastillo2322]

I’m goin to try rebuilt my transmission 2008 bmw 535i can I use the same megatron even with a rebuilt transmission

[@GaryFerraro]

yes, you have to, it's programmed to the car. What is wrong with the trans? any codes?

[@terellgonzalez1910]

Why don't you show the input shaft bushing or the output ring gear bushing.?

[@GaryFerraro]

The output ring gear bushing is normally ok, i usually change the E bushing, possible this one was in good shape

[@aqeelrana6678]

I am working on a zf6hp26 from a bmw 545i
