BMW Transmission Parts

The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP) has become the go-to choice for performance enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast shifts, impressive torque handling, and ample tuning potential. However, the stock transmission pan falls short in critical areas. Its plastic construction, integrated non-replaceable filter, and limited fluid volume leave little margin for error in demanding conditions.

To address these limitations, we've engineered a premium solution: a cast aluminum transmission pan that boosts durability, cooling performance, and serviceability. Designed with enthusiasts in mind, this upgraded pan increases fluid capacity by 1 liter to reduce transmission temperatures and improve long-term reliability, even under aggressive driving or track conditions.

Built to outlast and outperform the OEM plastic pan, the aluminum construction resists damage from road debris and eliminates the risk of cracking. Our pan is hard-coat anodized in black for superior corrosion protection and a long-lasting finish that looks as good as it performs.

Our aluminum pan upgrade is engineered to work seamlessly with the OEM G8X 8HP transmission filter (24007855263), allowing for easy and cost-effective fluid service. Integrated magnets help to trap metal particulate, extending the life of your transmission by keeping contaminants out of the fluid.

Key Features:

Cast aluminum construction offers superior strength and resilience over the OE plastic pan

Increased fluid capacity (+1L) enhances thermal management and reduces the risk of overheating

Serviceable design uses the OEM G8X transmission filter for easy, affordable maintenance

Hard coat anodized finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity

Integrated magnets collect metallic debris, protecting transmission internals

Installation:

Vehicle plastic belly pans may vary. Because the Turner 8HP transmission pan is taller to allow for increased fluid capacity, some vehicles may require trimming of the plastic belly pan, or the belly pan may need to be installed over the transmission pan where it may make contact.

The ZF S5D 320Z 5-speed transmission is known for its robust design, exceptional durability, and impressive power-handling capability. Unfortunately, as these transmissions age, shifter-related issues have become increasingly common. Problems such as difficulty selecting gears, a sticky shifter, or a decline in shift quality are often the result of worn detent springs, pins, and bushings. These components are essential for precise gear engagement and proper shifter centering, making their replacement a critical step in maintaining optimal performance.

Replacing detents requires specialized tools known as "drifts," which are notoriously hard to find. Fortunately, we've developed a complete Detent Tool Kit, featuring five precision-engineered drifts designed for exact fitment in the ZF transmission's detent bores. This toolset makes detent replacement straightforward and minimizes the risk of damage to internal transmission components.

Features

Complete Tool Kit: Includes five precision-machined drifts specifically designed for the ZF 5-speed transmission’s detent bores and caps. Hassle-Free Detent Replacement: Simplifies the process of removing and installing detents with professional-grade precision. Protects Your Investment: Reduces the risk of damaging internal transmission components during service. Durable Construction: Made from heavy-duty 1045 steel for exceptional strength and long-lasting reliability.

Automatic transmissions are reliable, shift smoothly, and can last without issue so long as they are properly maintained. Over time, the transmission fluid becomes thick and the filter becomes contaminated with small metal particles. This can cause excess wear, high transmission operating temperatures, and eventual failure. To prevent this we recommend changing your filter, fluid, and seals to ensure your transmission continues to operate flawlessly. We recommend filter and fluid changes every 50,000 miles.  This filter fits GA6HP26Z automatic transmissions.

Ensure the longevity of your BMW's drivetrain with ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs. These plugs are meticulously engineered in-house to provide a perfect fit and feature a permanent magnet attached to the plug body. The magnet effectively attracts and captures tiny abrasive and ferrous metal particles, preventing their circulation through lubrication systems. Metal particles can accumulate due to various conditions such as normal wear, machining operations, casting flaws, and stress usage, leading to excessive wear of vital components. ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs help alleviate this concern by trapping these particles, thus safeguarding the internal components of your drivetrain. With a convenient 17mm hex head design, these plugs eliminate the need for special tools required for OEM plugs.

Key Benefits:

• Removes abrasive metal particles from drivetrain fluid
• Prevents excessive wear to internal components
• Meticulously engineered for a perfect fit
• Features a permanent magnet for efficient particle capture
• Convenient 17mm hex head design for easy installation

A sloppy shifter is one of the common complaints of older BMWs. In addition to the shifter linkage the transmission mounts contribute to rough and clunky shifting. BMW transmission mounts are rubber and get softer over time. This allows the transmission to dance around which changes the geometry of the shift linkage and could make it harder to shift. These urethane transmission bushings are stiffer than the stock rubber mounts and won't let the transmission shift around as much. The round design also has more surface area than the stock mounts which helps spread the load. Because the urethane is stiffer, expect more vibration to make its way into the shift lever area. Engine motor mounts should also be considered as a cause for driveline vibration, transmission movement, and poor shifting. Consider replacing your motor mounts at the same time as your tranny mounts.

Price is for the pair of transmission mounts with hardware.
