Mechatronix rebuild question
I bought all the parts to rebuild my Mechatronix but I am unable to figure out how to identify which valve body plate my car uses BEFORE I tear into it.
Seems kind of dumb that I would have take it apart to identify a plate that I would then have to order and wait for. Is there anyway to identify the valve body used BEFORE I start?

May as well also replace solenoids. Do a transmission adaptation reset when you're done. Night and day difference with gearbox performance/response when you do this |

Thanks bro! I'm doing my trans pan and filter soon, and figured I may look in to doing the solenoids.. I'm kinda leary though, because I feel like if it aint broke don't fix it.. But at the same time, I don't see any harm in preventative maintenance I suppose..

I would suggest a transmission remap for power levels like that

do the automatics handle it well in the long term? with a manual the absolute worse you can do is damage your clutch, you will not hurt anything else if you drive manual properly and not over aggressive. I know that the 6 speed is a very good transmission (i've only tried the manual) but the manual would be my choice if i was going for big power. the 8 speed makes better use low end towith small ratios and is smoother, but the 6 speed feels pretty similar in my friends 525i you can feel it work nice (at 7000rpm anyways) One somewhat underrated aspect of BMW is their excellent drivetrain tuning. this ZF with BMW's tune is literally the best transmission around save for the PDK which is also made by ZF.. it is up to the manufacturer to design a good software for this transmission. an example is dodge's 8/9 speed transmission has so many reported failures. |
