Where to get mechatronic sleeve?? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Mastermixlee · 02-01-2013, 01:47 PM

I have recently discovered an oil leak on the auto gearbox in my n54 335i. I am led to believe it is from the mechatronic sleeve. I will replace the bottom sump and gasket whilst performing this work. However, does anyone know somewhere in the uk these parts can be bought apart from bmw??

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I will hopefulky put up a diy for the mechatronic sleeve change when I get time to do it

Contact ZF in Nottingham (UK headquarters)
They can put you in touch with your local parts dealer. They do not sell to the public directly though

Did you get anywhere with this? I've got the same problem.

Also, what oil is recommended for the gearbox and how much is needed for a refill please? I've seen Shell M1375.4 specified but there must be other oils which meet the spec.

Havent got anywhere with it yet but plan on sorting it out soon. Its not my daily car so havent been in too much of a rush to get it done....plus when I get under the car to sort this out I would very much like to have some downpipes to fit and an intercooler all at the same time :-P. I will update the post with my findings and sny hints and tips that I come across along the way.

Well I found a kit which includes the sump, oil and mechatronic sleeve. I believe this is the correct part, but can anyone confirm? I believe the 335i has a ZF 6HP21 transmission.
