Now your 70, hooray

ok

What about the dirty fluid in the torque converter, which if similar to a Mercedes holds the majority of the fluid. Looks like a job half done?

You mean keep wasting very expensive atf? The stuff is at least £12.00 a litre. Must be another way?

@@jonplopp6643 he just explained that ( or at least 7 years ago) is there something unclear about "When the pan is drained, you are removing around 1/2 of the fluid from the transmission" ?

@@jonplopp6643 sure you can flush the transmission which uses even more fluid and comes with its own risks in old transmissions. Otherwise I guess hope for magic. If you are paying 12 quid a litre you need to change suppliers .

Thanks!

Erickson Phillip he's a professional who working at a dealer car's he's not someone who's trying.

Do you have a video on how to change the pipes that connect to the automatic transmission heat exchanger / transmission Cooler? can i find them on the website?

04bmw330i - We do not currently have a video for changing the transmission cooler lines. The Bentley repair manual does address this. We can offer the replacement cooler lines. If you don't see them on the web site (www.bavauto.com), after identifying your model, just give our Advisors a call at 800-535-2002.

+Bavarian Autosport Question..........does anything have to be reset on the dash when finished ?????

I have a BMW 530i 2004 is the same process?

@@TheKobotron should be...just confirm via your VIN what tranny you have. There are several over the years

Thank you much!

I run my park, neutral, reverse and then on drive switch to the tiptronic and run it manually through each gear.

Thanks for the good words, Rich. We're glad to be able to help. Yes, the lift certainly is a game changer!

I am also wondering the same thing.

After the first fill the car should be run and cycled through the gears, it should then be drained again and refilled. This will help to clear most of the old fluid from the torque converter etc.

planning on doing it tomorrow with 2x changes.

Kon Nyuk Chang you don't want to flush that fluid… That could cause some loose particles to break free and cause a worse clog.

It is best to increase the oil change interval. If the fluid is red or pink no burnish it is good. You can do a flush but the flushers often add solvents which is a contaminant. The only true recommended flush is with the exact fluid. If you change it like this and have no metals or burnt fluid you are good. As bad as this transmission was you could re change the fluid and filter by a month or mile schedule...several months or several thousand miles and it would be as good or better than a flush. It would address the concern you have about the fluid...capacity is around 9 quarts and he changed what 5? so you are doing well with two changes.

I have actually made a dip stick my self for a 95 525i e34 auto.. works magic lol

@@Vickthemaint Older cars that I have had such as Fords, all had a dip stick connection where anyone could pour oil into the transmission. Ah, those were the good old days.

Thanks!

Thanks Mike ... we're certainly glad to help.

The '02 530i will have the A5S-325Z ( ZF 5HP-19) transmission. This is a bot different, but the procedures are the same, an the fill plug is in a similar location as shown.

John Drummond thats for the good words ... and thank you for your service!
