I also used to experience a delay when shifting into reverse. I think that is also fairly common when experiencing the "kick in the rear" problem. I believe solenoids fixed the issue for a couple of people on the forums. I'll try solenoids first before buying a whole transmission if the 4.8is ever experiences an issue.  |
I replaced the transmission valve body and did not have any issues with this for the rest of the time I owned the vehicle. I think the cost of the part was $2,300 from BMW however my indy picked it up directly from the distributor for $550. This was on my 2000 4.4.
