ZF 5HP24A rebuilders manual on PDF
#11
Home Tranny rebuild completed
I finished the rebuild on the A6, had the unit "dyno-tested" at Autosports in Zeeland, Michigan. Pretty cheap insurance, cost 2-hrs labor to test it (140.00) ,well worth the cost and piece of mind that came with it. If something had been wrong, they could have addressed it on the spot and the dyno would have pointed them right to the problem.
Using a PDF creator I added a great deal of additional information to the original ZF manual I converted. I added hints, "special tool" alternatives, photos, traps to avoid, extra pages of parts list and national suppliers. I think it will be real handy to someone considering a rebuild on their own. The manual increased from the original 202 pages to over 270.
It was a long and difficult rebuild, there was a couple seals I simply could not replace, without a press. I think I can make the PDF available without getting into trouble with ZF. Let me know if you want a copy. It's still pretty rough and needs editing, but still usefull.

Yes, you have found the larger torix head bolts that go around the pump,...but there are also 2 smaller bolts that you will also need to remove (8-total bolts,..I think). These smaller bolts are also located on the front of the pump housing. If you have removed all the bolts, the only thing holding in the pump housing,...is the O-ring that seals the pump housing to the transmission housing. It is pretty tight.
There's also two bolts behind those two black plastic plugs.
