How to fix the leaning fifth gear in BMW ZF gearbox

In this video I will show how to fix the leaning fifth gear problem in the BMW ZF s5d 320z gearbox. Here is also a good write up about the full service: https://webspace.ringling.edu/~dplassma/bmw_diy/shift_pins/shift_pins.html

Mitäs öljyä suosittelet ZF310 laatikkoon, elikkäs juuri tuohon keltalätkäiseen, eikä ZF320, missä oranssi ATF lätkä… Kelpaakohan perus Castrol 75W80 API GL4? Hieman piristettyyn katuautoon tulossa tosiaan… Monet suosittelevat tuota Redlinen MTL, mutta onko moinen rahan arvoista…

What about the getrag S5D 250G or also known as the 220.0.0225…. my current 5th gear leans and just bought a used one from junkyard that the 5th leans in.. i want to fix the junkyard trans before installing it.. Also, from the research iv done.. the 220 or S5D 250G came in lots of bmws from like 1994 to 2003 or so, was hoping you might know if the gear ratio is the same for all those model trans.. if your unable to understand my typing just let me know and ill retype it a different way.. thanks 🙂 love your vids man 🙂

Tämä on takuulla tästä remontista Youtuben paras video. Kesällä nimittäin jo ehdin tekaista saman remontin.
Toivottavasti saat triljoonia katsojia ulkomailta ja satumaiset mainostulot. 🙂

Mikä tuon laatikon mallimerkintä olikaan? Muistelen että tuota ZF:n viis'lovista laatikkoo on myös joissain takavetoisissa Volvoissakin.

LW says:

Is this Gearbox stronger than the Getrag 260G? And what about the shifting travel?

Laquel says:

Terve, mulla on 95 mallin E36 328i jossa lienee tuo sama ZF laatikko ja katselin tuota tarraa videossa jossa lukee "life time oil, no oil change". Autolla ajettu 211tkm eli olisko syytä kuitenkin vaihtaa? Mitä öljyä?

omg you are the fuck best, i just having the same problem but the tranny back in but will try again

aor says:

We did this same fix with different way: We first took protecting caps off, then we pulled those pistons off. After that i carefully sanded with wet / dry sandpaper those slider surfaces parts still inside gearbox. When there was correct amount of slack between piston and bearing. Some grease and caps back. Works perfectly.

Me tehtiin aikanaan tämä sama homma 328i cabrioon foorumilta löytyneellä metodilla, varovasti hiomapaperilla noita liukupintoja hioi, se ei vaatinut paljoakaan hiomista että holkit alkoi liikkua notkeasti. Hieman rasvaa väliin ja korkit kiinni. Eli siis me ei purettu muuta kun korkit irti ja pihdeillä veti nuo liikkuvat holkit pois. Sitten hioi ne laatikon puoleiset liukupinnat. Laatikko toimii tänäkin päivänä 4-5v myöhemmin. Tämä toki on varmasti parempi tapa korjata vika.

man where is m50

Thecharger says:

For getting the pin out, a die grinder collet and a screw is a good way to get hold of it.

ootko saanu bemarin muutoskatsastettua turbolle?

Loistava homma tää video. Ittellä on tuo murhe käyttis 528:ssa ja jotain ton suuntasta arvelinkin. Joutuu sieltä sitten laatikon pudottamaan pois.

Kevin Bowers says:

great video, thanks for the lesson. cheers from Lynchburg, VA. usa

Naurattaa tuo keltainen tarra lappu tuossa vaihdelaatikon kyljessä, life time oil, no oil chance ja sitten siellä kumminkin on tyhjennys proppu ja täyttö 😀 😀 😀
Kyllä nää iki öljyt on hienoja keksintöjä

Nice work as always pazi88, i just did this job myself just some days ago. Here is what i did different than you.

I used an plastic expansion plug for concrete fastening to get the metal pin out. First i had to cut off a little from the end of the plastic plug to make it work.

And instead of replacing the bushing after i got the pin out, i cut off the bolt head that came with the expansion plug set and had the pin attached on the plastic plug. I then attached a drill where the bolt head was and just sanded down the pin with fine sandpaper and a little cutting oil, 240 grit then 400. i locked the drill in a wise and locked the speed on it, then just wrap the sandpaper around the pin. It takes very little before it sits perfect. Make sure to cool down the pin before testing in the housing as it gets very hot.

Anyway it worked very well for me 🙂 Keep bringing such videos, they are great and very informative. greets from Norway 🙂

Any recommendation for a E36 323 compact 1999? Im thinkin about a turbo convertion or switching to different motor. Any thought of wich is best?

then wecheeched says:

awesome videos. my e36 m3 gearbox does the exact same thing. I figure I'll pull the motor and trans, do this pin, clutch, lifters, head gasket, and a more aggressive cam. anything I'm missing that I should do at the same time? any specific clearances I should check?

Pazi88 the Bmw Wizard. Happy the subtitles are there otherwise i wouldnt have a clue what hes saying 🙂 great vids

Gyikhuszar says:

It is worth to do a similar "tuning" between the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 gears, if you need to much force to shift. There are some modified original parts for this. The difference is not too big, but perceptible.

Can you also do that while the gearbox is on the car?
