BMW F30 Transmission Upgrade 8HP70 & Alpina Flash

F30MGM · 07-15-2019, 09:36 AM

Hi guys I am needing to get my transmission fixed, dealer wont cover it so next route would be for me to try and get it upgraded myself since its going to be out anyways. Im looking at a few 8HP70s for under 1000$ online. My plan is to swap the trans, change the fluid out with ista and than flash alpina D3 to it.

Steps

I proceeded as follows:

Typschlüssel changed to XA71
Zeitkriterium changed to 1211

Added SALAPA element 920, 9XA

Saved as FA_Alpina

TAL-Calculating, the modified VO (FA_Alpina) loaded and activated.
ECU read and saved as SVT_IST

What do you guys think?

This would be a nice little upgrade as i noticed the with JB4 DP & E85 the transmission shifts rough from 1-2 as if it was slipping.

What happened to your transmission that the dealer won't cover it? Also before you replace it, take it to another dealer.

what mods do you have, and do you think they contributed to the failure?
