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

This video shows how to remove an automatic transmission out of a 2012 BMW 335i N55 engine. This process is very similar for most inline 6 equipped E90, E92, E82, E60, and most BMW's of that generation. The transmission that is being removed is a ZF 6hp21 that was experiencing excessive gear slip between 3 and 4. Be sure to check out my ZF 6HP troubleshooting videos before proceeding to replace the transmission entirely. Thanks for watching!

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 KZfaq 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!

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.

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?

Your videos are awesome and not full of useless ramblings. Im a new subscriber and also a new owner of a 2003 BMW 330xi. Im having a hesitation when I shift from reverse to drive. It acts like its not in gear for a few revs then it catches, it also has a jumpy RPM at idle. . I have a rip in my upper throttle body intake boot, I'm aware of and have gotten a Pl code on my upstream, bank 2 ,02 sensor. Could these be my problems ? Any advice before I start wrenching and dropping $$$ and time. Thank you and keep up these awesome informative videos.

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

@W15Garage 3 жыл бұрын

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.
