^ Transfer case actuator gear rarely causes (ever?) the 2-1 gear slam. But it is cheap and easy to do. Couldn't hurt. I just did our e70 and made a YouTube video on the subject. There are plenty though, most better than mine. BTW, we've been assuming you have a late model 4.4 OP with xdrive. What year is your x5?

Can you please give some more information on the parts you recommend to change?? (for tube seal and bridge seal, the other parts are known)

I was thinking about getting a used transmission after I try an oil change. But I have than maybe the same problem........

Thank you!
I'll get some part numbers for you when I get home. I'm about to do the service on my 4.8 and a buds 4.4 next weekend. We're both going it cures our 2-1 slam. We've been driving around it for some time.
