Hello, this is my 1st post on forum because English is not my national language. I'm reading this forum for a long time and it helped mi with a lot problems. I have problem with Transmission in my E34 540. Before i decided to rebuild valve body with zf kit, everything was fine. But now, with rebuilded vb, my car have problem with forward. At d it moves very slowly, tugs at the gear change and displays transprogramm. In winter mode it moves normally, but before gear change the same things happens. On reverse everything is ok, like before rebuild. On diagnostic tool there is code 105 - speed monitoring.
What i check:
- i checked twice every springs, checkballs valves etc and everything seems like in instructions
- replace speed sensors
- oil level is good
- filter OEM
- resistance of solenoids is good (checked under hood)
- gears are displaying well before failsafe
I wanted to extend the life of the gearbox but i killed her
Thanks for any sugestion
Did you remember to hook up the end of the shift lever to the manual valve in the valve body when you put the VB back in?
You replaced the speed sensors and now you're getting a "speed monitoring" error. Have you still got the old ones? Maybe you could reinstall those and see what happens.
whiskychaser, I think yes, all gears engage good when I move shifter, but i will check it again
mrgraybeard, Error appeared on old sensors after installation rebuilded vb, then I replaced it with others without change
Do you know if the valve body from newer 5hp30 with green plate will fit p&p to black plate? I know that in newer are green solenoids but does it matter? My tranny is 1995
Did you install the same, identical valve body gasket and did you compare the gaskets before installing the new one?
There are 2 versions:
1055 327 093 5HP30 old version, used in valve body 1055 000 010 and 011
1055 327 102 5HP30 new version, used in valve body 1055 000 017/026/027/028/029/030/031/032/039/040
I was told by a ZF repair shop that the new gasket will fit instead of an old gasket, but installing a old version gasket in a valve body where before the new gasket was installed, will cause problems.
a 5HP30 VBK usually consists of : https://www.thectsc.com/products/val...p30-80-39.html
same is on 5HP18
1056 327 100 5HP18 old version gasket
1056 327 110 5HP18 new version gasket

I actually had an issue when I did the rebuild with a spring.
The new spring was considerably stiffer than the old one. No other versions for that part.
After installing it the car was making a terrible clanking with Trans program and no forward engagement.
I tore down the VB again and reinstalled the old spring. All was well after that.
I believe it was for 2nd gear clutch or something. I can look it up I wrote it in the records somewhere if you need.
It can be this. I would be grateful if you would check. Write if you can, which spring number you reinstall.

This is good news because I only compared the length of the springs, not stiffnes. Tomorrow I'll have messy job again
paperplane94, You save my life Same spring, same situation. Thank you
But why zf give this spring in kit?

forgot how to imbed pics.
Super glad it worked! I hope it stays that way.
I couldn't find any documentation on this issue when I did mine. Glad this is on the forums now.
I wonder if this is a problem with the transmission being different or the valve body kit has the wrong part.
I checked in the green tag valve body and there is also stiffer spring. My valve body is 95 and from green plate 99
Such a kit is only sold on the US market, not in Europe. Actually you basically only need the balls and the paper gasket and no springs, cups or whatsoever.
I usually only replace these parts and keep the original springs.
Usually on the 5HP30 even the old plate gasket can be re-used, as it does not stick solid between the plates like on 4HP22/24.
Also did not hear of a change of part number for that spring, maybe whiskychaser knows

Part number D159165 appears to be made by Transmaxx, even though it has the ZF logo on the box. Is that kit actually manufactured by ZF?
