My 06 E55 has 97k on it and finally went into limp mode.
I always saw slight puddle under car, So I had purchased a rear main seal kit at first.
Then after driving around trying to make time to replace the rear main seal. My car went into limp mode and found out it was the transmission
connector which also shorted out the conductor.
So as we all know once we in there replace or upgrade.
I did order new overlap sleeves.
I was thinking of getting a deeper pan and also blue tops.
!. is it worth it to buy the deep pan?
2. is it worth to also buy the blue tops
Deeper pan doesn't do much and not sure they even have the filter extension to reach the bottom of the pan. I have seen this many times with other transmissions. Also yes they hold more fluid but it's still going to get up to temperature but may take a little longer. And last but not least the cooling effect isn't much with the factory belly pan undernieth blocking the air flow.
Blue Tops....most TCU tune's normally require the blues for better performance.
GM,
In the process of of this job and got the pan off. Soon Ill be taking off the valve body, Do I have to purge the remaining fluid out of the vavle body and torq convertor?
Or will I be fine just getting whateve fluid I can.
The large maginet is filled with sludge and this will be the second transmission job with new filter.
But wow there was a lot of fluid in the connector for sure.
thanks
here some pictures of my overlap sleeves they are scorned badly,
One bit of advice when installing new overlap sleeves make sure to soak them in trans fluid or they will be hard to insert them back in and one of the sleeves is smaller I.D
plus my 06 already has blue tops, I want to check part number to see if the one I purchased are updated version.
