Yes. The pan is single use, contains integrated filter, and will still hold some ATF after the drain has been opened. The Turner link is correct but many order from thectsc.com |

Thanks Socom. It doesn't look like they ship to Canada.

By new bolts, are you referring to the 21 pan screws?

I'm currently only at 33,000 miles (53,000 kms) so might just do the fluid change for now and the pan/filter on my next one. |

Yes. They came in the kit so I used them.

So, the new screws might be related to retrofitting for T40s. Perhaps this doesn't apply to our 2009 and later ZF. I converted 10 N-m to 88.5 in-lb ( 7.38 lb-ft) and that is on an M6 =.236" screw. Good screws shouldn't break from that low level of torque. Something is going on if 7.4 lb-ft is causing screws to shear off at the head. |

Some guys has issues with corrosion on those old T27s and had difficulties removing them. Also, some guys tried T25s as not everyone had the odd T27 in their toolbox. Right tools is the key.

I changed the pan and fluid last month and it made a huge difference in the way the car drives now. For those that are approaching 80K plus miles on the D, change the fluid now.
TDI -- did you do the transmission adaptation reset after changing the fluid? Is it even required? |

I did. Not certain if it's required or not. Didn't seem like a bad idea to me so I used the manual method and followed it with the Bav Tech tool Transmission Adaptation Reset just for good measure. Then I drove nice and gently at various rpm's/speeds for ~30 miles before starting to use more and more skinny pedal.

Got an email with the fluid analysis results. Doesn't seem too bad. More particles in most of the sizes they looked at, except the 4um which was lower.
Guess the transmission is holding up pretty well. Which is a good thing.

Just got my tranny fluid and pan changed today @ 54k miles. SUCH a huge difference. Shifts are silky smooth again as the day i bought it.
The old fluid wasn't that dirty, looked pretty clean but smelly. |

A couple of local indy shops told my buddy they won't touch "automatic" BMW vehicles when it comes to changing the transmission fluid.
One of them said the only time he recommends changing it is if there is a problem. Also said that once flushed, the EGS module needs to be reprogrammed and all adaptions cleared otherwise the transmission will act up within a few weeks. Pretty much said you don't touch the fluid unless there's a problem otherwise you're asking for trouble. I just get the feeling they don't want any liability issues. |

By the way, I bought everything off amazon for super cheap and did it myself, cost little over 200 when done this way, pan, fluids, bolts, etc, I even bought a new sealing sleeve, this area is prone to leak, when you are changing it check it if its leaking, I HAVE AN EXTRA ONE IF NEEDED...mine was not leaking...
