ZF 6HP Transmission Pan/Fluid + Mechatronic Seals & Sleeve Replacement

In this episode of Project Cheapskate I embark on the challenge of getting the car moving. Last episode we got our $500 X5 running but with a trans leak it didn't want to shift and was slipping. I'll be replacing the trans pan/filter combo, dropping the mechatronic unit, and replacing the seals with a kit from FCP Euro. This got our transmission shifting like a dream. I was lucky there was no damage due to the low fluid. *Here are the tools I used (or similar too) in this video* Mityvac fluid dispenser-- https://amzn.to/43801qX Stuby Torx- Gearwrench style-- https://amzn.to/3Pe3aiZ 3/8 drive stuby Torx-- https://amzn.to/3T8upN7 Stuby metric and standard Allen/Hex-- https://amzn.to/3V9kXM4 2-26nm Torque Wrench-- https://amzn.to/4a646xX Foxwell Scanner-- https://amzn.to/3ItuQg8 Products/Affiliate links: Help me out by purchasing from a link.
