Transmission jerking??

Pipes · #1 08-24-2006, 08:33 PM

Hi all, just got my first 2001 X5 a few week with some concerns: it shakes sometimes (usually in 3rd gear) just before switching into 4th. I also get the rpm's go up and down (about 200 rpm) while cruising. Anyone have similar issues or ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks

my tranny jerks into third gear sometimes. When you find out what to do for that let me know. My thought is to have the dealer upgrade the tranny software or maybe delete some old driving styles that might be in thhe computer memory

Cool I'll try the resetting method for driving styles, if not, then I'll try upgrading software and keep posted on what happens...

resetting didn't help... but I noticed it doesn't shake in third in manual mode, just in automatic. The rpm up an down it does it no matter if it's in auto or manual, I think this is a different problem though...

How do you reset the driving styles?

I beleive it's turn on ignition to accesory for 10 seconds, then off for 10 secs, then start. Can anyone confirm?

Hi did you guys find what the problem was. I am having the exact same problem on my 2003 4.4i e53. Thanks

In accessory for 10 sec, then off, then starting is to reset the throttle response

4.4i 2000 same story pretty intermittent,5 days of shuddering,per say,2 weeks without.
