Hey guys I have an issue with a ZF-5HP-18 transmission in a 95 530i with 167k. I have searched the forums relentlessly for the past few weeks and I can’t seem to find the specific problem I’m having.
Whenever I am going more than 10 miles per hour and come to a stop the transmission has a hard time down shifting and drops in into neutral for a few seconds and if I push the gas and let off real fast it will go into gear faster. It gets worse the warmer the transmission is.
Any ideas what this might be please let me know.
when was the last ATF and filter change? Did you check the fluid level? How to check https://www.europeantransmissions.co...MWtechinfo.htm

I finally got the car on a lift and found that the trans cooler is leaking. It only seems to leak under pressure. The trans fluid is full.

Hmmmh, if it is leaking, the ATF level could/should be down/too low

It’s within the full and low marks and still hesitates going in and out of gear when coming to a stop

And the bulletin, it doesn’t seem to go away. It seems to get worse the hotter it gets.
