Hi all,

I've got a 2001 X5 with the 3.0 with about 166k. A while back as I was going to work the car suddenly felt like it was in neutral. I pulled over and put it in to reverse, it backed up a little bit but then felt like it was in neutral again. I put it back in drive and it didnt go anywhere.

I had it towed home and did a drain/fill of the trans. Smae thing, it will go forward and backwards but as soon as I try to give it gas it stops.

There was a slight wirring noise from under the vehicle just before this all happened so I figured it was the torque converter. I got a reman converter and replaced the old one but it is still the same.

Any ideas on what is causing this? I've seen some talk about valve bodies and solenoids but not sure how to determine of they are the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! All three of our vehicles are currently out of commission (it's been a bad week)!!
