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.

Used when retrofitting an OEM or aftermarket CSL intake on a vehicle with SMG transmission.

Its no secret the CSL intake plenum is the pivotal upgrade for your S54. If you are fortunate enough to have an SMG equipped vehicle you are going to need a bracket to relocate the expansion tank. Our Turner motorsport bracket fits perfectly with the engine bay to facilitate the installation of your genuine or Turner branded CSL intake plenum.

Direct fit, perfect OEM replacement
304SS sheet metal design, engineered to be simpler and cheaper than its formed OE counterpart
Reverse engineered with FARO laser scanning and Solidworks CAD technology

For GA6HP19Z Automatic Transmissions

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.

NOTE: This filter fits GA6HP19Z automatic transmissions. This will NOT fit the GA6L45R transmission. Please check your transmission to ensure it is the correct type.

This kit contains:

(1) Oil Pan with Filter

(1) Oil Pan Gasket

(1) Filter O-Ring

(1) Drain Plug

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

BMW Automatic Transmission Service Kit - Level 2 - Lifeguard 6 is a comprehensive service solution that includes everything needed to effectively maintain and service your BMW's transmission using high-quality ZF components and fluid. While BMW suggests that the ZF transmission utilizes a lifetime fluid, it’s important to understand that “lifetime” refers to the warranty, not the transmission's operational lifespan. Over time, the fluid degrades, becoming less effective at transferring heat and lubricating internal components. This degradation can lead to premature wear, resulting in louder operation, harder shifts, and potentially severe internal damage.

ZF recommends service intervals of 50,000 miles or 8 years—whichever comes first—for 6HP transmissions. By using OEM ZF components in this kit, BMW owners can ensure that only the highest quality factory parts and fluids are used, keeping the transmission running smoothly for years to come.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive Kit: Contains all necessary components for a complete transmission service, ensuring an efficient and thorough maintenance process.
• High-Quality OEM Parts: Includes ZF components, guaranteeing compatibility and superior performance.
• Prevents Premature Wear: Regular service helps avoid costly repairs by maintaining fluid integrity and component lubrication.
• Improves Performance: Enhanced fluid conditions contribute to smoother shifting and quieter operation.
• Recommended Service Intervals: Follows ZF’s guidelines for optimal maintenance, promoting longevity in your BMW’s transmission.
