I appreciate a DIY guy doing this how most of us would do it, with car barely 2 feet off the ground. You went through three of those bottles to refill it though...which is good to know.

I have that 1st to 2nd gear issue and will definitely do this.

Same here. Got the first to second issue on my E90. It shifts ok, but not like it did in the beginning when I got the car.

What were the issues you were having with 1st to 2nd? I’m currently having a hard time getting it into 1 when In traffic. I will have to center the knob and retry or try the clutch again. I’ve ground 2nd a few times because it didn’t go in all the way. Forgot to mention it won’t want to leave 1st gear without a harder than usual pull on the lever.

I see this has been up for a year, so what’s your long-term opinion stick with the D6 ATF redline or D4 ATF redline or have you tried something new?

Would you use this on 545i N62 manual?!?

Would you know if this is the same transmission on an F30 320i? 6MT

What kind of wrench set is that on the right at the 1:34 mark? thanks Did you re-use the same drain plug?

It’s from a company called TEKTON. Check out their website they have good tools and amazing lifetime warranty I would recommend. And yes I reused the same drain plug

ATF OIl is for automatic transmissions. I would rather use the Bmw MTF-LT-3 which is the only one BMW allows to use. It is 75W90.

This is not true. It depends on what was specified for the tranny and which generation. For older BMW's (e.g. E36 M3's and M Coupes and M Roadster), the first years through 11/97 BMW specified ATF with a sticker and the trannies even had an "ATF" sticker on the side of the tranny. Later years specified "MTF" as BMW moved to a more universal lifetime fluid, but that was a huge mistake that destroyed the teflon linings of the shift pins inside the manual ZF transmissions. Look up the shift pin repairs for this ZF generation. In the end, I just typed the ZF transmission code on the ZF Website, the manufacturer, and it recommend ZF Lifeguard 5 ATF for the manual transmission. How about that. Booyah!

What are the best fluids to use for the 6mt? I have a 2011 328i, manual and rwd. I know you recommend the d6 atf but I’m looking for alternatives. If anyone has suggestions please let me know

BMW LT-3 is more for smooth cold shifts and fuel efficiency. Although it is synthetic, its relatively low hot viscosity may not be great for tracking or Texas heat. Many have tried Amsoil MTF and Royal Purple Synchromax but there are some instances where the notchiness or grinding returns after a few months. I would prefer the MT-LV over the D4/D6 since ATF additives tend to have more friction modifiers that could increase bearing wear. Also, consider Motul’s Motylgear 75W80 (not 75W90, unless mostly track use). It’s very high quality oil and potentially slightly better than Red Line and cheaper also. It’s currently $13/qt @ Summit Racing.

How many quarts?
