BMW ZF 6-speed gearbox tear down

X5Sport · Post by **X5Sport** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 12:42 pm

Ever wondered what that expensive and in some owners experience, fragile gearbox looks like? Wanna have a go at fixing your broken one......or just plain bored?

Found this on Xoutpost. It's pic heavy, but.....

Yeah I know, I'm a geek...but I'm also an engineer too so it goes with the territory.

Got to page 2, and the end of the film is missing

I could probably take it all apart, but no hope of fitting it together though (nor know what part is broken unless it is obvious ).

:-[ I'll admit to reading this a year back when it came out. Pretty awsome. :-[

Did you read the one about the 7 series box rebuild by that company in Germany somewhere? That was also an interesting one with lots of oily bits.

Nope not looked at the 7er rebuild. Guess the midnight oil will be well and truly burnt tonight!
