Thanks for the great write-up. It doesn't look as bad as I had heard. A couple of questions, the first of which is really dumb - what's the easiest way to find out what type of transmission you have, and exactly what type of fluid it needs (mine's an '03 4.4i)? And second, to drain the fluid out of the converter, is it just a matter of repeating the procedure a few times (minus the removal of the pan) to get most of it out? Thanks.

Also see if they can ship to Canada for oother poster. You can't drain the TC and the full capacity is about 9 quart so after dropping the pan, you still have old 3.5 quart of old fluid in TC. My logic is that old fluid is more cleaner since the metal shaving is trapped in filter or magnet down in the pan. I plan on doing it again in a year when mine is @75Kmiles (it is at 64kmiles right now). |

You need to drop the entire trans, alot of effort and beyond my capability IMHO.
I you insist on it, contatc swissFrank or other real technicians on this forum (Weasel, Killcrap etc). |

HI, Thanks for posting this. I have a 2001 3.0i sport and its done 102k now and i have this gut feeling that it's due a trans box oil change as i have noticed a slight dip in gear change, It's abit rough now but i am unsure wether it has life long oil in it or not..... What would you say ??

I have 2 other problems with my 2001 X5 and need some advice...
1st one being my handbrake has given up on me, The gears wheel in the handbrake has broken hence it wont engage in position, always down and dead, How can i fix this and what will i need to get this sorted. It's MOT is due soon and that is a failure. 2nd the famous door handle problem with my driver door and rear passenger door, The doors lock and unlock ok but the handles are coming off. Both handles have come apart from what seems like a clip or something so when i have to open the door, i need to use both hands, 1 to press the loose bit in and the other to pull the handle to open the door !!! What can be done to fix this problem as it's a matter of time before the handle(s) come off in my hand.. Any advice will be more than welcome. Cheers

Great post. I have a 2002 4.4 with 96k that is up on ramps right now. I'm replacing the valley pan gasket, water pump, assorted hoses and expansion tank. I may as well do the trans filter change. Thanks again for the post, needs to be an article.

Thanks, but I'm not clear on why you plan to wait a year before doing another partial drain/refill. Why not just repeat the drain and refill procedure onceor twice to get most of the old fluid out in one go-around?
