Transmission Problems
Come on!! A lot of views and not many responses??!! I am trying to ascertain how many of us on here have had transmission issues. From all of the posts I have seen regarding the matter it sure seems like a big issue...... Last edited by 2002Silver4.6is; 08-15-2007 at 05:04 PM.

The majority of transmission issues on the 4.6is are caused by a slipping torque converter, at least the torque converter can be replaced (2000USD) and doesn't require an entire transmission to be replaced, however there's a lot of labor involved.
You may just see the problem sooner on a 4.6is if it's driven hard. I've seen torque converters being replaced at 14k miles .... The Dinan software will not cause the problem(s) to be accelerated , I've been through this with Dinan and BMW NA in the past. If you have Dinan transmission (or engine) sw installed BMW NA will give you a hard time and usually tell you to take the issue up with Dinan (from this point onwards you better have a good relationship with your BMW/Dinan dealer as you're at their mercy) . - Jan

did you change your transmission fluid?
do you drive in sports mode a lot? Not that any of the above should lead to a transmission failure I am just curious. Mine is about to go out soon too at 102k. I feel it coming  Also the poll might not be so reliable. Many of us bought the car used and have no idea if it had previous transmission failure. Ive seen threads on here where the transmission has gone out with less than 40k miles!!

I had a 2000 Expedition. I had a supercharger on it for about two years. That vehicle I drove hard. I went through 3 sets of brakes in 60,000 miles. No broblems with the front CV joints, driveline or transmission. It was putting out over 500hp. There is no reason the X5 transmissions should be failing at under 100,000 miles!!
