5HP19 Pump 1996-2002, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 5HP19. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 1996-2002 BMW 5 Series, Audi A4 or A6, VW Passat or Porsche with the ZF 5HP19 five-speed is slow to pick up Drive or Reverse when hot, slips in every gear, or has a whine that rises with engine speed, the front pump is one of the first parts to suspect. This is a remanufactured 5HP19 pump assembly, ready to bolt in during a rebuild or a reseal so the transmission has full working pressure again.
The 5HP19 is ZF's Ravigneaux-geartrain five-speed, introduced in 1996 and rated for about 300 Nm of input torque. Its front pump sits directly behind the torque converter and is turned by the converter impeller hub, so it spins whenever the engine runs. Every clutch apply, every shift from the solenoid-controlled valve body, converter lockup and lubrication of the geartrain all start with the oil this pump moves. The hub rides in a bushing pressed into the pump housing, and that bushing is the wear point: as clearance opens up, the hub wobbles, the front seal starts to weep and the pump gears lose volumetric efficiency, which drops line pressure most noticeably at hot idle.
Not every hot slip on a 5HP19 is the pump. Hot reverse slip and a hot 2-3 flare are also traced to leaking accumulator piston cap o-rings in the valve body, and a sticking pressure regulator solenoid can mimic pump trouble. That is why testing comes first.
Check fluid level at the correct temperature, then put a gauge on the line pressure tap and compare readings cold and hot, in Drive and Reverse. A pump problem shows low pressure in every range that falls further as the fluid heats; a single low circuit points somewhere else. Our line pressure testing guide walks through the hookup, and converter hub and pump bushing wear explains what to look for once the unit is apart. If the readings are normal but you still slip, start with the slipping diagnosis guide.
This listing covers 5HP19 units from 1996 to 2002. In those years the family included the rear-drive 5HP19 in BMW E39 5 Series and E46 3 Series models, the 5HP19FL and 5HP19FLA (VW code 01V) in Audi A4, A6, A8 and VW Passat, and the 5HP19HL and HLA in the Porsche 911 (996) and Boxster. The pump is a common design across the family, but housings, seals and converter hub sizes are not guaranteed identical between the BMW, Audi/VW and Porsche cases. Match the pump casting and bolt pattern to your old part, or send us your year and VIN before ordering. Other 5HP19 parts are listed in our hard parts category, and a later-range version is the 5HP19 pump for 1996-2005.

The 5HP19 family shares its basic pump design, but BMW, Audi/VW (01V) and Porsche cases are not guaranteed to use an identical pump housing, seal or converter hub size. Compare the casting and bolt pattern with your old pump, or send us the year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
No. The pump sits behind the torque converter at the front of the case, so the transmission has to come out and the converter has to be pulled to reach it.
A new front seal and pump o-ring at minimum. Inspect the converter hub closely, since a scored hub will wear the new bushing quickly, and most shops replace the filter and fluid at the same time.
Not always. A pump fault lowers pressure in every range. Hot reverse slip on its own is often traced to accumulator piston cap o-rings in the valve body, so check line pressure in each range before replacing the pump.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptations with a scan tool and drive the vehicle through all gears so the module can relearn shift pressures for the restored pump output.
