Hi,
I am pretty sure the oil you used is wrong....
These zf boxes are very sensitive about the fluid used...
So oem correct grade ZF oil or a equivalent like ravenol or any other with the right specs
I use this:

Did you have this problem before changing the oil? - ATF is the wrong oil, you need a full flush with the correct oil asap.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

motul website says the fluid used is the right one but does offer an alternative.

TBH.... if you have a problem, only use the original ZF oil...
although alternatives can be ok, like mine, i recommend in case of issues, only the original ZF stuff, then you know for sure... if it is/was the oil...
the proper oil code is in your manual... i presume.. i have to look it up, someone will mention it shortly here, i am sure..
i can be the Torque Converter (TC) also, but since that one is rather expensive... ruling it out can be a good thing...
i paid around € 400 for a refurbished one, who does its job perefectly for 10.000 km's in one year now...Best regards

Hi
Can u get hold of Mannol AG 55 as that’s another atf oil that u can use
Zf lifeguard 8 is for the later D4 8 x speed boxes
Many of us buy the AG55 in 10 x litre quantiles from Germany for around £50.00
Hope that helps

Hi in my area have no this manool, and have no genuine life guard6 only 8
Given motul think this is the right oil, I'd recheck levels to begin with..
