carl1647545492 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just rebuilt the ZF5HP-19 auto transmission and tq converter on my 01 325 after a complete failure,on pulling the transmission the there was zero oil in it ! Tranny is rebuilt now and after installing it the sucker leaks fluid like crazy,front pump bushing seal and front pump seal were replaced. Sitting in the car on a ramp it goes through the gears fine but there is a tapping noise. I,m guessing it could be the Flywheel ? that may have cracked or warped causing a leak? Does this sound right? or could there be something else? would like to know before I pull the trigger on a $700 flywheel.thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansonivan Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Do you have a part number for that flex plate? I should have a used one at the shop for that transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl1647545492 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Who did your transmission work? An friend of a acquaintance...a guy named Jeff from grove city,I have his cell number not that he returns my calls. There is a garage involved doing the install but trans guy is a third party,the owner of the garage installing it is guessing as to why the tranny leaks and there is our problem,we are guessing. ansonivan we just located a Flywheel and flex plate thank you. We are going to install again thursday or friday with replacement flywheel and upgraded bushing,heres hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
