Nice video! Thank you :D

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Thanks for watching and for writing such a nice comment. Hope it helps you.🤝🏻

Very interesting to see the gearbox out like that! Are you going to service the gearbox? I have another question for you, I hear people say if you don't change the gearbox oil soon enough then you must just leave it, let's say the F10 has 200000km and it still has the original gearbox oil, is it better or worse to replace it?

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi buddy, I had to weld a few stands and the adjustable height trolley so I can get the transmission safely as I was working on my own. It worked out very well and was safe which is most important thing. Yes, I did service the gearbox and have recorded excellent footage on the full process including using ISTA+ to observe transmission oil temperature and pour the oil at the correct temperature. I did the service at the very end after I rebuilt the engine. You need to refill the automatic transmission with the engine running so can't do it properly with it disconnected. There are a lot of myths when it comes to changing oil in ZF/BMW automatic transmissions. These transmissions have stickers on them saying lifetime oil which is total nonsense. This transmission felt so much better and smoother after the service. It had never been serviced in almost 170 000 miles (270 000k km). One of the main reasons I changed the oil was as the transmission sump gasket was leaking through every single bolt. You could also see the massive difference in the oil colour and when you see the video here on the channel you will be shocked the amount of metal shavings were captured by the magnets. Glad to see you here on the channel every time buddy, your support means a lot.

@@TheKeenMechanicWow, such an informative reply, thank you so much for the information! I'm really interested to see the future video's of the repairs! Very interesting gearbox info, thank you I will definitely keep this in mind, life time is such nonsense, same with the differential oil, these must definitely be changed at some point! As always it's a pleasure to watch you video's and I will stay tuned for all the rest😁👍

@@mrmusic1880 No problem buddy. Thanks for your support

[@rikvermar7583]

my torque converter is slipping so i will be attempting to replace it on my day off tomorrow, i will let you know how it goes🤞🤞🤞

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Best of luck buddy. Smooth repair and hope you get back on the road in no time💪💪💪

[@isaacahmed9546]

its safe to turn the crank anti clockwise???

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Avoid if you can but everyone does it. As long as it is gentle and not too much and only do it for adjustments🤝🏻

[@ljubomircukrov6818]

Can you please tell me if is it possible to retrofit the torque converter from F10 550d to F10 535D ?

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Sorry I can't help with this one.

[@user-f10]

Would the process be similar or exactly the same on 2016 550 x drive?

[@TheKeenMechanic]

The process would be almost the same. Best of luck and don't be afraid to tackle the job🤝🏻

[@user-f10]

Thank you! Trick is how to get the front end enough in the air in order to remove that thing out of the car. :(

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@user-f10 It is difficult without a lift😟
