How To Remove BMW Automatic Transmission E90/E92/E82/E60

[@williamdiaz8100]

The only mechanic with a detailed video in KZbin. Seriously!! Good job!

[@PiliaeAl]

Seriously the best transmission replacement video with clear explanations .

[@ShopLifeTV]

Thank you!

[@herlegz6969]

It's like bmw puts all of it's engineering effort into making maintenance as cumbersome and frustrating as possible.

[@GeeIce]

Because of this video I was able to do my own transmission. 330i 2006 Saved me money and time. Thank you so much. I have no experience btw 🤙🤙🤙

[@MrLs1986]

Step by step.. well presentation . Thank you so much, now I'm ready to do my 328i transmission replacement. Good job.

[@mesidon4]

Fantastic job, your automotive nomenclature is top notch 💯

[@VTEXVSI]

Great videos. I was on the fence about selling my 335i E93 since I am starting to have oil leaks and some other problems but decided to keep it as a project car. Started looking for some KZbin vids and found your channel and I'm really impressed with your vids. You sound like a seasoned BMW tech but look way too young :). Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@juliankwa9491]

Those step by steps are amazing. Great job.

[@williamghau1150]

Do you need to program the new transmission to the car for it to work? Or you just need to put it on and it’ll work like normal again?

[@harisbarra9805]

Need a answer to this

[@okantarakci3674]

@@denisovanhybrid9610 Unless it's going from manual to automatic or vice versa, then reprogramming should not be needed.

[@N54.S6]

@@denisovanhybrid9610 I swapped my transmission roughly a year ago along side a buddy who owns a shop just 10 minutes away. I didn't have to reprogram any thing and the trans work's fine. It's a 07 335I e90

[@N54.S6]

@@denisovanhybrid9610 He doesn't know how to work on BMWs, I just use the shop and have him help out with things I can't given my back surgery. He doesn't touch anything Euro. I'm telling you, I did a swap with the same trans and it worked fine. We even had AutoHex on standby but, was not even needed. I'm just as confused as you are. New mechatronics unit and transmission "new old/used". Had codes like crazy, reset everything related to the ECU and transmission via Inpa, and boom, was fine. Not stuck in neutral, started right up. Not sure what I would get out of lying lol. I even have a video on my channel of what my trans was doing before the swap. Maybe, you don't know exactly what you are on about but, i am more than aware that you need to reprogram the TCU after. Hence why Hex was on standby after.

[@razorrich]

Good Vid Guys - always a detailed step by step. Should have convinced the owner to swap in a 6MT, lol!

[@ShopLifeTV]

Thanks! And he daily drives the car, usually during traffic so he wanted to stick with an Auto

[@JohnSmith-dp3cx]

Question, I have a BMW 2011 740i and I would like to know what other transmission is compatible with this car? I cannot find the exact transmission but I can locate other transmission 5 series, 3 series and 6 series. Thank you in advance.

[@Hff19927]

Brilliant video. Can you do an e90 clutch change video?

[@LuisGonzalez-ph8zp]

Great video man my trans finally gave out on me gonna be replacing it soon just waiting to get paid order a preowned trans with low mileage take it to a homies shop and knock it out real quick judging from how strait forward it is I think we will knock it out with in 4 hours or less

[@n54sparrow92]

Do u need to program the new transmission if u do a swap on a 2009 135?

[@DjDestinyChicago]

I can't believe I used to do this on the ground with a shady ass jack lol Good Video!

[@ShopLifeTV]

I used to do jobs like this and even more in the dirt, with Jack's and plywood so that it wouldn't sink in, when I used to be back in NC

[@liamrossiter1427]

Do you have to re program the transmission control module? I’ve heard that if you don’t in some cases you finish the job and the car will be stuck in park

[@mq2825]

Whose the new helper? Btw awesome detailed video! Keep it up!

[@ShopLifeTV]

Thanks! And he's Selena's brother

[@eddiesabori5167]

Excellent, hope you can advise if transmission needs any king of programming after install?

[@editorialkiddos939]

What pressure or torque should the bolts be tightened to when reinstalling the transmission, this is a great video on removing it. Do you have a video where you show how to install it again?

[@jamescc2010]

For 2016 BMW X4, after replacing transmission and engine, do we need to reset or reflash ECU first before adding new keys to start car? I am not sure the guy used the same part numbers for trans and engine.

[@ojsannals6877]

Is there a video showing the installation process?

[@sgtmaj2]

Hey, I found your removal videos very helpful getting my transmission out, but I can't seem to find a single install video anywhere and am having an issue with my install. I can't get the flex plate and torque converter to line up all 4 bolts. I've tried every combo matching of holes but one never lines up. I've looked for one hole smaller than the rest, but it seems like I have 2 next to each other that are oblong side to side and the other 2 are oblong top to bottom. Everything spins as it should, the transmission went together with no problem, I'm kind of at a loss to explain this and can't seem to find any info on it anywhere. Do you know of any install videos or a forum post about it that you could recommend?

[@hermananderson2209]

Man this guy is freaking awesome great work!!!!

[@ShopLifeTV]

Can anyone share a link for the 6L45 swap? Or is this going to be the exact same procedure ?

Hi Shoplife, my 2011 335xi makes rumbling noise in park, neutral and more pronounce in drive. But the noise goes away in reverse. What could cause it? Can bent flex plate cause it? thanks man.

[@jf269]

Just a time saver, you don't need to crank at the front to move the torque convertor. It moved pretty easily with a prybar in that little cap at the bottom of the transmission.

[@custommetalcreationsbykevi6572]

Amazing videos and very detailed man... my question to you is I have an 08 335i auto and apon trying to do a burnout launch it started spinning the tires and then a big "thud" happened from the transmission and I immediately stopped after that! When I started driving away after that 1st year was fine 2nd year ribbed to the moon Under full throttle And everything else was OK. Days later I tried the whole dayeah sprite the holding the throttle to the floor for one minute to reset the computer and it surprisingly worked it surprisingly worked for about 5 miles then else then all the sudden it started slipping in 2nd gear again and 3rd gear. My question is I have a new used 2008 transmission to replace it with But do I swap out the entire transmission or do I just change the mechatronic valve body? And if I replace the transmission completely does it have to be reprogrammed for a 2008 or not? Your help would be greatly appreciated I've gotten so many different answers

[@The_North0]

Your thud likely has to do with wore out stator bushing inside the transmission. The whole transmission has to be removed to replace it. Recommend replacing the clutch friction as well while are in there

[@abduhlrivers45]

I have a question. How to access the transmission coolant line on the trans itself? Would i have to drop the trans from the mount. Or is there another way.@shoplifetv

[@W15Garage]

Hi, saw you video, and I would like to get some help from you. My BMW X6 350d zf26 goes into limp mode when upshifting from 4th to 5th gear. The error code I’m getting is 4F85 gear monitoring coupling E. I have replaced the adapter seals+bridge seal, and put in new ATF fluid, reset the adaptations, but the problem is still there. No fault codes and issues while driving locally in the city, when I am using gears 1-4 only. Please help with your advice. Would replacing the stator bushing on clutch E solve the problem? Many thanks vilmos

[@user-uy6qj7hc3v]

I have the same issue did you find out what the fix was?

[@W15Garage]

Hi, the issue was with the bushing rings inside the transmission. Clutch E was worn badly, but as a precaution I’ve replaced all of them, as the bushings come in a kit. Before this I’ve tried changing the rubber sleeve adopter tube (above the mechatronic unit), which also came in a kit, but that didn’t fix the problem. If you need any more info or pictures send me your email address, and I’d be happy to help.

[@AutohausGarage]

Loved the video bro. I need to get out there to turn some wrenches with you.

[@ShopLifeTV]

Thanks man!

[@dillonradcliffe7745]

Thanks for this video definitely gonna come in handy if I decide to do my 8HP swap my self

[@abdulkaderalothmani9946]

7:39 what name of the tool 🔧 or wrenches or what's the size 🤔 please and thank you ??

[@jacobhauenstein]

For anyone who sees this, it is far easier to remove the driveshaft just trans side and drop the center support and zip tie the front of the drifeshaft to the trans tunnel, rather than messing with that huge rear bolt. It just cuts one step out and you need to do it anyway to get the trans back in, as the rubber joint connecting the driveshaft to the transmission will block your movement when you try to reinstall it.

[@AkeLovesGAMES]

Thanks for the video, super helpful. Hope you do an N54 removal and replacement video as well!

[@AsterixSlashStar]

It's the same transmission as the N55 I believe

[@garygrenier]

Thanks Man! Just found this. Doing a rear main seal on a 2008 335xi and this is VERY helpful!! Great Job!!

How long did it take you to do im getting ready to do the same to my car

Good job. Very clear explanation. Thx!

[@huanweili7699]

I have one question. How do you get to the torque converter bolt if the engine is seized and can not turn the crank anymore? Any information will be appreciated 👍.

[@nealongreene15]

Remove the oil pan, remove crank rod caps, then turn engine by force.

[@briansanchez1193]

Do you need to program the new transmission

[@bigdeal87]

I think you can just overtake the old control module and all should be fine..

[@MKRN98]

I want to be sure I don't have to replace my auto-trans in my 335xi. When the car is cold, transmission shifts hard, whole car just jiggle at the moment of gear change. When it warms up it shifts fine, just little harder shift from time to time. But then I shift to DS, when I floor it, it will stay in gear for a moment, then shift really hard to each lower gear. It is upper seal that's leaking and I lost fluid or is the transmission already shot? I don't want to spend money on oil pan and all seals if transmission is not worth it.

[@boostedbeezytvz318]

This is literally the perfect video

[@exaltedgordo]

how much would it cost me if i were to manual swap mine, and sell the automatic trans (manual trans-auto trans=?) and how difficult would this be? (are the transmissions hard to find, what else will i need to install?)

[@emreyesilyurt8505]

Mechanic, my car (BMW E90 3.16i - 2011) goes into limp mode and gets stuck in 3rd gear, especially in hot weather. This issue does not occur in cooler weather. The problem arises after the car has been running for a while.

[@joebenson658]

Hey man just wondering is all bmw gA6l45 trans interchangeable without needing to be coded to the car. I have a 2007 bmw x3. It has the 6l45 gm trans it was acting up very bad so I went to junk yard and pulled a valve body from a 2011 bmw 328xi it had the same 6l45 trans in it I swapped the whole valve body and mecatronics unit into my x3. It bolted right up but when I start the car it has no communication from egs and like 13 flat codes no communication and it’s in limp mode. I was told these gm units don’t need programmed in any way and it a straight swap

[@The_thrown]

[@Lowlifecustoms]

Have question about a transmission code and hopefully you can give me some info 2009 335xi automatic. Code is 4F85 ratio monitoring clutch E

[@jacobhauenstein]

Your E clutch and likely bushing are f***ed up. If you are not having any issues, do not touch anything and drive it. Changing the fluid could make it worse. If your car is stock it could keep going like that for quite a while. I had the same code but I'm making around 550tq and my adaptations went fro +200mbar to +650mbar in about 6 months. Trans stops being able to compensate after 750. I got a used trans for 600, did the valve body seals and put better fluid in than the junk lifeguard 6 it comes with. I am going to keep my screwed up unit around and pull the stack out to see if i can get photos of the bushing and clutch wear that causes that code. The code is basically saying that the transmission expects a response which it is not getting from the clutch, E. E is the smallest clutch pack set and is at the very back of the transmission. The trans can detect slipping before you would notice it, if you have XHP flashed you could (at your own risk) engage the line pressure bump to see if that is enough to hold to get you by. Best of luck
