AFAIK... the gear problem will always throw the trifecta of traction control related lights. It did on mine.

You need to find another Indy. The code that says the transfer case oil is "bad" doesn't say that at all. It is an indicator that it is time to change your TC oil. Then the code is reset and will not come again until it's time to change the oil again. The gear change is relatively easy to repair. Your Indy is trying to line his pockets.

Even if you do have to change the tc, you can buy a used one on copart for like $600.

Our TCs are light. You can probably get a low mileage one on ebay for less than a grand, I would bet. Definitely not worth 3000 to put a new xfer case into nearly an E53 at this point.

So today I opened the TC actuator motor to see what the gear looked like before ordering parts and I found that its in relatively good condition. What are your guys' thoughts? I know I didn't take pictures along the gear itself because I didn't want to bombard you all with a ton of photos, but there wasn't any damage or much wear on the teeth like in the youtube videos from other DIYs.
Attached below are the pics of the black gear and the white gear as well. Looks like the white gear is starting to develop a crack so I was planning to purchase the whole Genuine BMW kit from ECS and replace the whole thing. Anybody know a reason why the three lights appeared and then went away?
