“'Tween:” How to Identify the ZF6HP Series Valve Body that Bridges the 1st & 2nd Generation Designs

毛里拉斯塔福德

Take a ride on the memory train back to middle school. For many, this arouses feelings of a socially awkward time due to things like orthodontic braces and physical changes driven by hormones and runaway metabolism. Left behind were the childish days of elementary school, yet the yellow bus ride in the morning and afternoon signified that you hadn’t yet reached those glorious teenage years, high school and wheels of your own. By today’s popular definition, you were a “tween.”

The ZF6HP series valve body with an 053 separator plate code could be labeled as a “tween” as well. It has similarities to the early Generation 1 ZF6HP19/26/32 valve bodies, but also some significant differences that could cause rebuild problems if not noticed. And while this 053 plate version also has features seen on the updated Generation 2 ZF6HP21/28/34传播units that are equipped with higher torque capacity, improved acceleration, quicker shift timing, etc., it did not skip a grade and make that leap, as it still has the basic functionality of a Gen. 1.

Since this awkward valve body is stuck in the middle, not fitting the mold of either an early or late OE design, extreme care should be taken when attempting any repairs. Existing fixes are readily available for it and easy to install, providing a significant cost savings over an OE remanufactured valve body. However, the location of particular valves and some of the valve designs themselves are different from Gen. 1 and Gen. 2, so verify proper location and interchangeability of any products before altering the core in any permanent way.

早期识别“补间”ZF6HP阀体对于成功重建至关重要。这种特殊的阀体最常见于美丽而昂贵的7系列BMW。通过参考分离板上标记的码和数量，阀体芯的识别最简单，这将是A053，B053和1068-327-189。

另一个快速识别方法是通过measuring the OE pressure regulator sleeve, as it is different from both the Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 designs. OE exploded views found in Sonnax Zip Kit instructions can further aid in distinguishing the differences between Gen. 1, Gen. 2 and the “tween” Gen. 1 valve bodies with 053 separator plate codes. These provide detailed views of valve design and location so that differences and similarities across valve body types can be seen. See theZF6识别指南for details on how to measure the valves and the Zip Kits available for all three valve bodies.

这是内部的内容

When my daughter was struggling with the awkwardness of her middle school years, I gave her a bracelet with a hidden message. This ZF6HP “tween” valve body can be an easy rebuild and money in the bank if you keep that same thing in mind and pay close attention to the details of what’s on the inside.
