Hello all,

A sad day has set on my household... The transmission in 03' X5 4.6is is almost dead (slipped 7 times yesterday, then banged into gear). I love this X5 and I'm going to keep it for many years to come. I'm looking for advice on the best way to approach fixing the problem.

I need input on repairing the exsisting transmission (I can't seem to find anyone in CA willing or knowledgeable enough to take on this project) or opting for a remanufactured unit (I have not heard great things about going this route).

So anyone who has gone either route I could really use your input!

Thanks in advance,

TB
