Valve Block 5-speed SMG

Set of clutch parts contains:

• Pressure plate
• Friction plate
• Release bearing

We sell only Sachs or LUK components, both are original supplier for BMW.

This sensor is located on top of the gearbox and responsible to monitor the shift process. Our sensors are brand-new OE aftermarket replacement parts.

The pump motor drives the gear pump, which generates the pressure for the SMG transmission. Both parts together form the hydraulic pump. Without hydraulic pressure, the transmission cannot perform any action – neither change gears, nor operate the clutch. Therefore, the hydraulic pump is the most important component in the system.

In most cases, it is sufficient to replace only the electric motor, as this is a wearing part. The gear pump fails only very rarely. Another advantage is that when only the pump motor is changed, the hydraulic system does not need to be bled afterwards, unless it has been opened.

We sell an original, brand new Magneti Marelli spare part – the same part you would get from BMW.

The shift solenoid valves (marked ‘PPV’) are responsible for engaging the gears in the SMG gearbox. There are two of these pressure-proportional valves mounted on the hydraulic unit. Working in conjunction with the selection valve, they operate the shift actuator. If either valve is faulty, the car may be unable to engage one or more gears.
