BimmerDude is on a distinguished road
Look, its not the zf tranny that's the problem. I believe its got to do with the driver of the car. How does he/she drive? Is there a constant abuse? Understand that if someone where to beat on any tranny, that tranny over time will begin to brake down. Now the only complaint that I have with all these new tranny's is the famous "Life time fluid". I just don't get it, and I think I never will. But so far Lexus, Infiniti, MB, Bmw and now Cadillac (which is using ZF tranny also) are many of auto manufacturers that are life time fluid. So far, if you do some research, you will find that a really small amount of people are having problems with there tranny. So, I'm just going to drive the X till it dies. If the tranny goes, well I've got my indy ready to jump on it. It will cost me 3k total to r and r. I've thought about getting rid of the X, but when I wash it up, every other SUV looks like crap compared to the X.
