I think thats BS to be honest. I had so many down hard shift issues and rough driving feeling with my 01 X5 4.4i, with 120k. I had a friends X with the same, after he had his tranny completely rebuilt his car runs like new, so far its been about 4 months and he drives back and forth to work everyday.

Thats why i cannot stand how people keep telling others not to rebuilt there tranny if they are having issues with it. I feel like people just had bad rebuild jobs done to there tranny and it just messed up on them...
