My tranny just started showing similar symptoms. Reverse is fine on flat ground, but slips if I try going up a slight incline.

What does a valve body job fix, what does it entail, and what does it generally cost?

EG
'94 540


If you have NO reverse it may be too late to just do the v/b. You will know by dropping the pan and looking for big chunks of aluminuim from the reverse imput drum. Good luck finding a "certified" ZF trans builder/shop they have no certifications avaliable from ZF. If you want any more questions answered go ahead and give me a call today (Monday) (616)748-5735 direct to me.Good luck!

My apologies and thanks in advance - there were several posts earlier this year that dealt with 5HP30 tranny issues but I was unable to find them in the archives. Can someone point me to a certified ZF repair/rebuild facility in the Dallas/Fort-Worth area? The forward gears are fine. Can this be fixed with the valve body update kit or am I too late for that?
