Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of having my transmission on my LR3 (141,000 miles) serviced after taking almost a year to find a local mechanic. The mechanic working on the vehicle works for BMW and is familiar with the ZF6. He has asked me to source solenoids and the "seals" that mate the transmission to valve body. I have the mechatronic sleeve but I am unsure of where to find the 4 "tubes" that go along with it. The mechanic said there are 3 short tubes and 1 long tube. Does anyone know where to source them, what they are called or if they are just common to all BMW/Land Rover Zf6 transmissions?

Thanks in advance for any help

 

Pretty sure just called tube seals, you'll also want the bridge seal as well. Can get them on amazon or any good ZF dealer/service shop.

You should also source the foam gasket that fits under the solenoid retaining bracket if your solenoid kit did not come with one. I think I got that from Phoenix too. You may have to call them to get a part number.

 

I thought the double square seal was needed too (is this the bridge seal?), as seen below. Ignore the sleeve in this pic, its missing its o-rings.

 

It is and why i mentioned it, pointless doing the tube seals and not replacing the bridge seal.

 

I have all of these parts plus the foam seal, not shown - but do not have an extra mechatronic sleave. All genuine ZF. Also have a good, working valve body. I sourced them awhile ago for my LR3 but ended up not needing them. I've been meaning to list them on Ebay but am happy to pass them on to one of you guys if someone needs them. Message me if you do. Don't know what they go for - would have to check online, but I'd let them go on the low end of whatever the range is.

 

Just looked at my parts stash and I have an extra mechatronic sleave too.
