5HP24A RS6 autobox useful information.

Post by srichards » Fri Nov 11, 2022 12:20 pm

Just collecting together useful bits of info that might help in repairing/improving these boxes.


Several YT videos with teardowns and common issues.

https://go4trans.com/transmission/5hp24 ... rformance/

Parts catalogue looks handy as it has lists of other cars that used the same box. I've attached that. Repair manual is a bit big.

Also lists a repair manual which I've just downloaded.

Are there any currently easily available upgrade kits that are easy to buy so most failures can be dealt with easily so they can least another 100k of use?

There's a fully remanufactured option from the US: https://europeantransmissions.com/zf-5h ... ssion.html

Great idea. I’ll see if I have any useful bits to add.

Damn you! The problem with repair guides is that I tend to use them rather than pay someone else to do the job. Damn you again. :bigblink:

Now the cats out the bag you’ll be going through everyone’s box once you’ve done your own. (That sounds absolutely sick but you know what I mean)
