Hey da_jemster - That is a bummer. I can't image the oil on the lines coming from the pan. My pan was pretty coated, but the rest of the transmission was dry. Since you ordered the o rings and pan, you might as well replace the pressure filter while you are at it. Try running the car in park and see if you can isolate the leak. It may only be the pressure lines??
Let me know if I can help. I just had hernia surgery, so I'm not crawling under cars for a little while, but I can direct pretty well and have some tools that I purchased for my DCT service that I could loan you. Good luck. Last edited by SimiM3; 10-13-2014 at 10:43 PM.. |

Good news is that I think I found the source. Remember on my previous post that I had unbolted the oil line assembly (where screw #10 in diagram goes into). I didn't see that there are 2 port holes to the side of that assembly. I must've not tightened that bolt properly as the leaks was coming from those holes. We'll see in a few hundred miles if I'm right. As for now, off to Autozone to replace that snap ring pliers. |

Whew...I was worried that I had been running it with the fluid level too low. Now comparing Mike's (SimiM3) and my report, how come our "Universal Averages" differ? Shouldn't Blackstone keep them consistent?
BTW, the clanking sound that started this all was two very, very small rocks/pebbles stuck between the rotor and dust shield. Last edited by da jemster; 10-29-2014 at 06:52 PM.. |

After reading this thread, it looks like blackstone reports suggest that used oil was ok in most cases and changing it wasnt really necessary.
Some members had problems during this procedure, changing filters looks very tricky, also filling the system and checking the oil level correctly seems to be difficult. I dont know, maybe i am wrong, but i will probably stay away from opening the factory sealed system till at least 70K miles. |

Hoping to revive an old thread and get a few more details regarding the procedure for changing the two DCT filters. What size torx screws hold the transmission pan in place, and what are the torque values? For the canister filter, what tool to use after you remove the snap ring to unscrew the round black plastic cap? Any known torque value for this?

There are several aftermarket fluids that meet DCTF-1, by the way, meaning they have at least the same performance as the OEM fluid if not better.

DCT Fluid from 2011 135i
I did the trans pan+ 2 filters on my 135i DCT and just received my Blackstone Report from my Fluid Sample. I have 114,500 mostly freeway miles + 2 autocross events on the DCT and have never changed the fluid. I was very curious about how it held up, and you can see for yourself below.
A few things I noticed in the difference between other DCT's mentioned in this thread vs. the DCT from my 135i. There was no need to move the hoses/tubes to get to the side filter. This made the job a bit easier, although I as well broke a set of snap ring pliers removing the filter. My pan wasn't leaking too bad but I thought it would be best to swap it out. Here are a few pics from the job below as well. |

That is damn impressive man!
I just did mine today and I only put back in 2 1/2 quarts. I feel paranoid about not having enough but the car drove just fine. |

That's odd. Did you go through the gears with the engine on and get it up to temperature? Did you do filters too, or just fluid?

Hmm, that seems rather low. From what I read on here, most people get around 4 quarts back in there, give or take. The car would probably drive fine with low fluid level, but as soon as anything sloshes around you might starve the pickup. Remember that the sump always holds excess fluid for diluting contaminants, reducing risk of starvation, bleeding off heat, etc.

Info I found, post #3 identifies the 135i tranny to be GS7D36SG. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=487959

Isn't GS7 what all of the guys refer to when flashing the GTS software?
I have also seen the above 7DCI600 referenced. That's the standard Getrag naming scheme -- Ferrari uses the 650 in the 458 Italia, I believe. Maybe the GS7 is BMW's internal name?
