Hi, any body knows how many check balls does the 5HP30 transmission have?? is it 2 or 3 check balls??

it is 540i 1994.recently I got a problem with my transmission & now I am trying to resolve the problem. I started off by disassembling the valvebody.

Hiiiiiii Ramon, wassup buddy, I think you remember the problem with the tranny I told you about, I disassembeled the valve body & found out 2 check balls one in the place it supposed to be, the other moved into housing 2.

Thanks alot, I really appreciate it, I found one check ball worn & moved through the plate & stuck into wrong place in housing 2. I hope this would solve the problem.

Typical problem... that should solve the problem. Do the complete kit.

yea it is typical, unfortunately here in Baghdad they only sell the stuff as a seperate parts which are very expensive as hell.

Oh... I see the issue now. Can't send someone off to a vacation... say Germany... to pick up the parts while on a mini vacation? Not everyone can do this... yes.

I don't know how much Kirt would charge you to send the kit to you... I think the entire kit is like $130... and shippng to Baghdad might be $50... Is that still cheaper than you buying at your local source? I think Jaggi will do that too.
