ZF 6HP19 & 6HP19A Fitted to BMW, VW & Audi


Problem:
Flare into fourth, no upshift into fourth, if throttle is released the transmission
engages fourth OK and once in fourth will drive without problem on all throttle
settings.

Possible cause:
It not uncommon for the E clutch drum assembly to crack around the inner
circumference of E clutch piston bore, this can be seen more readily from the
annulus side of the drum as shown in the illustration below. We believe this is due
to the constant flexing at this point caused by the planetary sun gears driving the
annulus back and fourth during drive and overrun conditions, this gradually over time
creates a stress fracture. The reason that once fourth has engaged all seems well is
that when the throttle is released the annulus is drawn forward on overrun, closing
the crack and allowing pressure to build up behind the piston, this pressure then
further reinforces the closure of the crack keeping the clutch fully engaged, giving the
impression that all is now well within the clutch.

In this illustration the crack has been opened up to emphasise the area to examine, it is
quite often very difficult to see, so very careful examination is necessary
