Thanks! Sounds like a great project!

Thank you for the video, now I know why it is little hard to shift into reverse

Hi Mark, as always a nice and interesting video. Thanks for that, even though I have an automatic transmission. I'm always waiting for your new clips here. Greetings from Germany, where we're waiting for the spring weather.

Having watched this video, I have just changed the gearbox oil on my 2000 Z3 2.8 using the Redline D4 ATF oil that you recommended. Much smoother changes now. Thanks for the advice.

Nice job mate. Great advice about the replacement fluids too. There are plenty of options that meet or exceed BMW's original fluid specification 👍🏾

I literally was about to do this tomorrow on my 97 2.8

A bit of liquid pipe sealant (not tape) on the drain plug threads is good insurance against a leak. After changing the fluid, mine had a very slight leak of maybe a dime-sized spot after a drive that I was able to fix with the sealant. It has never leaked a drop since.

Thought about that. If mine leaks thats the plan.

Hello, tanks for this new video. Do you feel any improvement after the oil change ? Regards, Jérome.

Yes shifting smoother especially N to 1st and 4th to 5th.

How is the car shifting now? Have you noticed any slipping?

Mark, did you find you needed to top up the oil after the initial fill? In my automatic transmission fill, I turned on the engine and cycled through the gears and was able to add more fluid.

Have to admit haven't had it back up to check.

Your undercarriage looks so clean, do you wash it?

Hi. How long did that take you? I am not the type who does my own fixing. So I asked my friendly neighborhood BMW independent mechanic to check and replace my transmission oil. He said it is a “time consuming process.” So I want to cross check with you. Thanks. Awesome video as always.

Scared the crap out of me the first time it went off. Done to warn you icy conditions are possible. Not a malfunction or problem.

Now that a year has gone by, how would you describe the results of your choice of fluid for this Transmission fluid change? I am not on my journey of deciding which. I have nothing to really go on except to try and match others and go on their results. I have a 98 2.8 Z3

Happy still and no current problems. Shifts well, no noises.

How did you manage to get the car on those four jackstands? At what places under the car did you jack up the car?

Back under the differential. Dead center don't stress the cover. Front under the crossmember, but not the x brace!! See coolcat Terri's channel for a full video.

My transmission is leaking fluid from the drain plug. Do you think replacing the drain plug would fix it? Any experience with that?

Fortunately i havent had that issue. Did you change the fluid recently? If so is it all the way tightened? Even if you didnt is it all the way tightened? Are the threads clean both sides?

Good video. Nicely done. Just want to add I use the Red Line MTF. When I also used the Red Line ATF, did not like it. Switched to the MTF. Much nicer shifting. Currently at 361,000 on my 2000 2.3. Still going strong.
