ZF6HP19 Valvebody Overhaul

This is psrt 2 of the 2007 530I, last week was the teardown and now i overhaul the valvebody, installing new solenoids, new dampers(original ones all were flat) new plate and a Transgo Gen one shift kit. Thanks for watching.

Great video Gary!!!

Love your videos, very educational.

Incredible to watch your attention to detail

Greetings from dubai. Like always your videos are best .

[@AhmedMohamed-hk3io]

As always Gary many thanks 👍

[@jamesstewart2525]

Hey Gary! Great video, just wanted to know where do you get your parts from?

[@anironmanjourney]

Great Video, as always, thank you Gary! by the way, does the shift kit for the Gen-1 mechatronics unit contain only 2 valves? thanks.

[@GaryFerraro]

correct, Pressure reg valve and TCC valve

Hi Gary, I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm looking to overhaul my 6HP28 Valve body, the solenoids are easily sourced from ZF, can you direct me to a service kit please. Is there any way of knowing what separator plate I need without dropping the trans pan?

[@michaelwheels1220]

Thank you so much for the detailed assembly. I'm looking to drain my transmission fluid on my 2007 bmw x5, but now i feel i should do preventive maintenance and do everything you just did. Where did you the the valve body separator plate from ? Did the valve kit come from Sonnax? Thank you again

[@GaryFerraro]

The kit is a Transgo shift kit as long as you have a Gen 1 unit, the kit will work, does not work on Gen 2 units. I got my parts from Transtar. Where are you located?

[@olibrewster3232]

Great info as always. When faced with the p0706 range sensor error in these, what is the best way to diagnose the fault? Considering the range sensor is integrated to the mechatronics unit, its not as simple as replacing a switch.

[@GaryFerraro]

Look at a scan tool, see if the scanner reads the same range you are in, i have seen these act up more when the car is hot

[@olibrewster3232]

@@GaryFerraro will try vcds measuring blocks and see if I can find the readout. The one other fault code that appears p1755 - 'tiptronic down switch (f189) open or short to plus. I've replaced the shift assembly in case the hall sensor magnet was faulty but it didn't make a difference.

[@billwilliams4877]

Hey Gary, how long do you think the discs in a ga6l45r can last with proper maintenance? I have no problem working on the valve body but fear those discs going bad someday.

[@GaryFerraro]

They should last a while, i rarely get these units in, most common problem is a broken manual valve

[@billwilliams4877]

Currently at 180k. I'd like to get to 300. Have a slight jerk from 1st to second. Thinking solenoid. I have seen your video on the manual valve. You are a master.

I’m rebuilding a 6hp21 with a Sonnax kit right now and when I put the o-ring on the bore plugs they’re too big (both the large and small bore plugs). The bore plug fits perfectly without the o-ring. Have you encountered this?

[@GaryFerraro]

I have not, i never use the zip kits,

[@therealmatthewsmith]

Hey Gary! Nice videos. I have a U140 with 216k miles. I just changed the fluid and filter. There were fine shavings covering the magnets but no chunks. After adding the new type T-IV fluid it started slipping. I tried putting the old fluid back and even Lucas slip stop but still driving the same. Is there anything I can do or am I going to be taking it apart?

[@GaryFerraro]

Every U140 I had in the shop had issues with the geartrain and had to overhaul the trans. Was this working fine untl you serviced itr?

[@therealmatthewsmith]

@@GaryFerraro thanks for the reply. Yes I just bought the thing. It seems to hesitate into second the worst. I used the aisin type IV like it says on the dipstick. Luckily I didn’t pay much for it. The engine runs great though.

[@therealmatthewsmith]

@@GaryFerraro I found the problem was a loose ground wire behind the intake plenum! Feeling very lucky it shifts perfectly now.

I have a 2005 BMW 530i Automatic and car drives normal just clunky shifts but from 3-4 and up it slips then I get code 4F85 Clutch E ratio Monitoring come up and I just changed the fluid and it did nothing what would you suggest is wrong it only slips sometimes.it’s. GA6HP19Z transmission

[@lancer283]

I have the same problem. I plan replace separate seal and pistons. You solve you're problem?

[@brostermcgee9989]

Hi Gary! I know this video is about a year old but I was wondering if this kit would work on a 2010 BMW 135i. My friend has one and it won’t go into reverse after trying to fix another problem. Do you think this kit would fix that? If so where could one acquire this kit

[@GaryFerraro]

I cannot say for sure that it will. What repair was done? any codes present?

[@brostermcgee9989]

@@GaryFerraro it was slipping from 1st to 2nd and throwing a clutch a,b, and c code and now it’s just throwing a clutch b code whenever you put it in reverse. We fixed the slipping problem though.

Have you checked the bridge seal?@@brostermcgee9989

Hey there! Is this very similar or identical to the ZF6HP26?? I’m really wanting to do a complete overhaul myself rather than having a shop do it. I’ve got a lift and everything in my garage I’ve just never rebuilt an auto trans before

[@GaryFerraro]

Very similar to the ZF6HP26, Did you look for a manual online?

[@tylerroe5175]

@@GaryFerraro Do you have any idea where I could get a digital manual from? That would be a great help. I’ve rebuilt many engines before so I’m confident but any info I can get I will take. My only real concern is replacing the bushings cuz apparently they can be difficult

[@GaryFerraro]

Yes, the bushings really need to be pressed in. There is a company called ATSG( Automatic Transmission Service Group), Try there website they may have something.@@tylerroe5175

@@GaryFerraro I have a 25 ton press. What bushing install tools do you recommend? Sorry for all the questions you have the most comprehensive videos on these it seems like

I have a bushing driver set, The B Clutch drum, the one bushing (on the clutch plate side is very difficult to install, i use another bushing to press that one in. The Important bushing is the rear stator bushing, i know builders who just change that one@@tylerroe5175

[@miked7142]

Are there many differences between this trans and a 2011 ford 6R80???

This trans is similar to a ZF6HP26, Same overhaul and bushing kit and clutches, but hardpart wise they are different
