Sluggish response, no drive, shuttering, and poor drivability from your E46, E39, or Z4 automatic? It may be time for a new torque converter. A torque converter is just like a regular clutch with friction surfaces and bearings that can wear out and leave you with a slipping driveline or without drive altogether. Low fluid, lack of maintenance, and skipping regular fluid changes can also cause failure or poor performance where the only remedy is a new torque converter.
This is a rebuilt/remanufactured torque converter from ZF. ZF uses original BMW cores as the basis for a complete rebuilt. The original is completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and de-greased, any worn or unusable parts are replaced, and then the unit is re-assembled using all new bearings, springs, clutches, cleaned and chased threaded holes, and new hardware. The new assembly is then tested and inspected before being signed off by their quality-assurance staff. The rebuilt part you receive is equal to a new original in all respects but at a much lower cost. A two year warranty is included, the same as with a new part. Rebuilding original hard parts by only replacing the "soft" components keeps the final purchase price low. If new housings or brackets had to be manufactured the final price would be much higher and be a waste of resources. Re-usable cores helps keep the market price for replacement parts low.
A core charge applies to this purchase. The supply of original parts for rebuilding keeps the final purchase price low. The core must match the part that was supplied in terms of fitment, type, application, accessories, and hardware. Damaged or modified cores will not receive a refund. A core charge can only be refunded once the core has been inspected and approved.
