5HP24 Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the 5HP24. Ships fast from the USA.
If your BMW 540i, 740i or X5 4.4, a Jaguar XK8 or XJ8, a 2003-2005 Range Rover or an Audi A6 or A8 4.2 quattro has started to slip, flare between gears or smell burnt, the ZF 5HP24 inside it is a likely suspect, and worn friction plates are the most common wear item behind those complaints. This listing is a friction module for the 5HP24 and the all-wheel-drive 5HP24A: the lined clutch plates that go into the unit's clutch and brake packs, supplied loose. It does not include steel plates, seals or gaskets.
The 5HP24 makes five forward gears and reverse from three planetary gearsets and six multi-plate shift elements. ZF calls three of them brakes (A, B and C, which hold a gearset member to the case) and three of them clutches (D, E and F, which connect a member to the input). Every gear uses two of them at once: clutch D is applied in first through fourth, clutch E in fourth and fifth, brake C in first and reverse, and clutch F only in reverse. Each pack is a stack of these lined frictions between steel plates, squeezed by a hydraulic piston. When the lining glazes or burns, the pack takes longer to lock and the shift either flares or the gear slips under load. Because each element is shared by several gears, the pattern of which gears slip tells you which pack is worn.
Check the fluid level and condition first, at operating temperature and by the procedure for your vehicle, because a low 5HP24 slips exactly like a worn one. Pull the codes with a scan tool that can read the transmission module, then note which gears slip and whether the problem is a flare (a short rpm jump during the shift) or a true slip that holds. Our shift flare vs slip guide walks through telling them apart, and the transmission slipping diagnosis guide covers pressure and solenoid checks to rule out before you open the case. If the pan holds metal as well as lining, plan on more than frictions.
The listing names the 5HP24 and the 5HP24A. Per the ZF application lists, the 5HP24 is the rear-drive unit in V8 BMW models such as the 1997-2003 540i, 1997-2001 740i and 1998-2003 X5 4.4i, the 1997-2002 Jaguar XK8 and 1998-2002 XJ8, and the 2003-2005 Range Rover with the BMW 4.4. The 5HP24A is the quattro version in the 1999-2004 Audi A6 and S6 4.2 and the A8 and S8 4.2. The BMW 525i and the Audi A6 2.7T use the smaller 5HP19, so this module is not for them. Frictions can differ in count and tooth pattern between the 5HP24 and 5HP24A, so lay each new plate beside the one you remove and match it before assembly, or send us your year, model and VIN and we will check it.

The listing names both. Plate count and tooth pattern can differ, so compare each new friction with the one you remove, or send us your year, model and VIN to check before ordering.
No. It is the friction plates only, supplied loose. Reuse steels only if they are flat and free of heat marks, and get the seals and gaskets from an overhaul or master kit.
No. Those use the ZF 5HP19. This module is for the larger 5HP24 found behind V8 engines and the 5HP24A in Audi 4.2 quattro models.
ZF lists LifeguardFluid 5 for its 5HP transmissions. Use that or the fluid your vehicle's maker specifies, and set the level hot by the vehicle procedure.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptations with a scan tool and drive through every gear so the module relearns the new clutch fill times.
