I did the Zip Kit in the 8HP, it does help. Its basically the last thing you can do to as after this your only choice is a complete teardown and rebuild unless you find some issues with the valve body. (Sonnax has a selection of kits for the 6HP that address specific issues with the valve body, you might want to give them a call, they have free tech advice)

Since you have covered that, you may very well have bad accumulators, valve body leaks, leaky end plugs, etc. The Zip will solve all of those. One thing I HIGHLY recommend is getting a borescope so while you have it apart, you can inspect the internals of the valve body for wear. If you have never done a valve body before, make sure to take pictures of everything as you pull it apart. The check balls and one-way valves can differ greatly from version to version so document everything and dont be temped to reuse the separator plate even if it looks like the gasket surface is ok. Its a pretty simply job as long as you are meticulous and only takes about an hour to install the in the valve body Last edited by Sophisticated Redneck; 10-14-2019 at 10:47 PM.. |

I tried searching for it but couldn’t find it. It was a while ago I was randomly searching for transmission jerk problem and happened to find that video. It was hard to watch.
As I mentioned before open your coolant tank and stick a paper towel in it. Any oil should should float up( if there’s any coolant in there) and soak on to the paper towel. |

According to realoem, there hasn’t been any updated version. So if it happens, its just one of those dark clouds hovering. Goodluck bro |

UPDATE: Zip kit did nothing. So EBay transmission is on the way along with more oil and another filter. I'll try to reuse as many sleeves as possible but I don't think I'm opening my mechatronic to recover the zip kit stuff. |

I ended up transferring the "brain" over to the "new" mechatronic to avoid coding. I also reused some of the zip kit. |

Update: OP Thank you for posting this thread. Helped a lot. Full trans service done and I used the metal trans gasket. Didnt feel comfortable using the paper one. The trans shifts so much better now and so much smoother especially 3rd gear where i felt a little roughness before. Current mileage 60,100km. My transmission took 7.5 quarts of trans fluid. I used the same fluid recommended by the OP.
