In this video, i teardown a 5 speed RWD caddy transmission called a 5L40E.This trans had no movement hot. There are special tools that are required to install the molded pistons, we will take a look at that next week. some weak points that should be addressed when working on these units are the pressure regulator valve and the Actuator feed limit (AFL) valve. I use Transgo Drop in Reg valve and oversized AFL Valve. Next week we will overhaul the valvebody and address the AFL valve, i Vacuum test it first then ream it for the oversized valve. Thanks for watching, Please Like, subscribe, thumbs up. Thanks all. Happy Easter

If all KZfaq videos were like this one....KZfaq wouldn't be considered a horrible option for reference

Man this video just explained so much. Haven’t drove my Pontiac g8 in 3 months because it stops accelerating after warming up, I’ll come to a stop and nothing. Turn the car off, let it cool down, and good to drive for another 5 minutes. No codes came up either. I’m afraid I’ll need a trans rebuild after watching this

Hey I've got a 5l40e transmission valve body (plate code 378) with a broken 1-2 shift accumulator spring. I'm having a lot of trouble getting either a new single spring for that accumulator or a kit of all 4. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently tearing down a 5L40E, the part you are removing at

@8babalo

Have the same year make and model but had a trans cooler line blow and bypassed radiator for external cooler. After flushing trans and filling back up it shifts hard and slips until the car is warmed up. What could possibly be the issue there? I thought gear wear from the fluid leaking but don't understand why it would shift fine when warmed up. any insight would he appreciated thanks

Hello, the 5l40e gearbox jerks when changing gears from 4 to 5 and locking. 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear shifts fine, should I look for the reason in the mechatronics??

On average what do you charge to rebuilt the 5l40e? No removal or install. Thanks.

Hi, does anyone knows is there any (especially major) differences between these gearbox in: E39, E46, E38, E53? or are they the same and can be successfully swapped 1:1 independently of car's model and engine? I'm asking, because I need to replace malfunctioned box in my E39 530d and I was wondering if I can swaps it to box from E46 320d? I have read somewhere, that there's no differences at all - besides shaft connection (which can be simply use from old gearbox). But what about Hydrokinetic clutch? Does it the same type for all 5L40E, or depends the car's engine? Many thanks for any answer :-)

I have a problem finding diagrams for this transmission, the 5L50e. Mine is a 4WHEEL DRIVE GM of the model in the video. Would you happen to know where I could find that?

Thanks a lot for sharing a detailed teardown of this transmission. I am currently in the process of tearing down one from a BMW X3, and wonder if there are internal differences in the 5l04e transmission between the different makes and models (Like Cadillac, BMW X3, X5 etc ?) My reason for asking is that i have a X5 transmission in good condition and have (unsuccessfully) tried to find some information online if this would work as a replacement or not.

Another great video Gary. Is it just me or are the ZF transmissions so much better designed than the American transmissions, and seem easier to rebuild too, is that just me?
