5HP18 (Unit EGD-0448)

The 5HP18 is a 5-speed automatic (torque converter, zf) transmission supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, used unit. ZF 5HP18/19 five-speed automatic, a robust unit widely fitted across German RWD/AWD platforms. Every gearbox we list has been drained, inspected and, where possible, function-tested before sale so buyers are not gambling on an unknown unit pulled straight from a wrecking yard.

Key Specifications: Gear Count - 5 forward gears. Transmission Type - Automatic (torque converter, ZF). Drive Type - RWD/4x4. Compatible Engine(s) - BMW 3/5 Series inline-6, Audi/VW V6 models. Condition - used, tested for shift quality and fluid condition prior to listing. Housing material and internal ratios follow the original factory specification for this application rather than an aftermarket reproduction.

Performance Characteristics: This torque-converter automatic favors smooth shifting and strong low-speed drivability, and its lifespan depends heavily on regular fluid changes, the correct fluid spec, and avoiding sustained high-load, low-speed running. Before installation, confirm fluid type, mounting pattern, and driveshaft/output flange configuration, since these details commonly changed within a single production run.

Common Applications: This transmission is matched to BMW vehicles fitted with the engine and drivetrain combination noted in the listing, most notably alongside BMW 3/5 Series inline-6, Audi/VW V6 models. Because gearboxes are frequently shared or adapted across several body styles and model years, please confirm the exact bellhousing pattern, input shaft spline count and electronic/hydraulic control variant against your vehicle before ordering, and reach out with your VIN if you would like our team to double-check fitment first.
