kochxr6 Member 56 Member For: 14y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 24/01/13 09:51 AM Share Posted 24/01/13 09:51 AM hi guys ive recently had my zf service for the first time. cars a 06 BF2 done 77000km. reason for servicing it is it was slowly incresing in slip and gear changes when cold (runs fine when hot). after the service it hasnt improved at all. infact the other day on my way to work the trans was flippin out while I was just babying it while still cold. didnt know what gear it should be in and the trans ended up going into limp mode and stuck in 3rd gear. had to pull over and restart the car to clear it.ive had a tune done on the car (345rwkw) as well as the zf tune about 3 years ago and has been running fine but slowly the problem has been getting worse. out of curiosity I flashed my tune up that is the same with no trans tune (as standard) and seems to have improved it cold changes.has anyone else experience this? would it be an indication of box needing a rebuild? I would have thought I'd get more than 77K out of it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine oils used. Changed to the steel pan and filter. Was doing it before the service too. No milkshake. Would you recommend just running it on the standard tune then?

Drove really weird and flared ect, something to do with different clutch pack wear maybe? just saying it may get worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
