Automatic Transmission: Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW X5, 2005 BMW X5, 2004 BMW X5, 2003 BMW X5, and 2002 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Oil cooler and lines must always be flushed before a replacement transmission is installed.
  1. To install, reverse removal procedure. If replacing transmission, fit shift lever, bracket for cable and retainers for oxygen sensor cable from old transmission to new transmission.
  2. Install transfer case to transmission. Pay attention to dowel sleeves (1). See Fig 1. Replace damaged dowel sleeves. Apply a thin coat of WEICON ANTISIZE grease or equivalent to splines.
  3. Note dowel sleeves. See Fig 2. Replace damaged dowel sleeves.
  4. Bore (1) in drive plate must be accessible from aperture in oil sump. See Fig 3.
  5. Screw Special Tool (24 2 300) into the threaded bore (1). See Fig 4.
  6. Turn torque converter until Special Tool (24 2 300) is aligned with bore in drive plate. See Fig 5. Flange automatic transmission to engine. Remove Special Tool (24 2 300) from lug of torque converter towards front.
  7. Tighten transmission-to-engine screws to specification. See Figure. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  8. Tighten torque converter-to-flywheel screws to specification. See Figure. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  9. If the pulse generators are fitted to a new transmission, they must be reset. Note whether one or more shims are installed between the transmission housing and the pulse sensor. If one or more shims are installed, the distance between the pulse sensor and the pulse teeth of the increment wheel must be measured:
    • Turn the engine on the front central bolt so that a full pulse tooth (1) can be seen through the opening of the removed pulse sensor. Make sure that the pulse tooth (1) is exactly centered in the hole. See Fig 6.
    • The depth to the pulse teeth of the flywheel must be determined with Special Tool (00 2 407). See Fig 7. Note depth.
    • Measure depth (A) of pulse sensor. See Fig 8. Deduct depth (A) of pulse sensor from depth of flywheel. This result is the gap dimension. Adjust a gap dimension of 0.53-0.57 mm with the shims. The dimension 0.55 mm should be achieved as exactly as possible in order to enable exact misfiring recognition and prevent pulse sensor from contacting pulse teeth.
  10. Center bearing must be aligned at right angles to propeller shaft. See Figure. Tighten nuts of center mount-to-body to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  11. Replace self-locking nuts of flexible disk-to-propeller shaft and transmission output flange. See Figure. Grip each screw and tighten down nut. This prevents flexible coupling from being subjected to torsion stress. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  12. Tighten crossmember screws to specification. See Figure. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  13. Replace O-rings on oil lines. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  14. Install nut for selector lever cable to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  15. Brace clamping section (1) and loosen nut (2). See Fig 9. Press shift lever (3) forwards (park setting). Press cable (4) in direction of arrow, then release again. Brace clamping section (1) and tighten nut (2) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  16. To install reinforcement plate, torque screws (2) to specification. See Fig 10. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  17. After completion of work, check transmission fluid level and top up if necessary.
