NEW Transmission Installed Today under Warranty (or is it)

I picked up my X today from the local dealer, after 4 visits with the infamous "CLUNK" they opened up a PUMA claim and changed my tranny.....

When i was reviewing the paperwork I noticed that it is a re-manufactured transmission, not a brand new one.

Does anyone have any comments about this. Maybe someone who has been in the same situation.

Does it make a difference, were they supposed to put in a brand new tranny from the factory?


Thanks in advance.

Robert

any transmissions replaced after the vehicle has left the factory, is a Re-Man. you will never recieve a new one, even if you buy it with your own money

All repairs are under warranty for at least a year.
Check out your paperwork. Should be in writting.

Ask the installer. They should have put in writing any
conditional driving instructions on your paperwork.
Everything should be in writing whenever a repair is
done.

They covered mine under warranty last May. Be sure to have the work inspected by an indy. My mechanic found 3 leaks with my new transmissions which BMW needed to repair

Congratulations on getting the reman tranny. It could have been worse - you could've been out of warranty.

You should be able to get under the X5 with a flashlight in a day or two and make certain there are no leaks (or just monitor your garage floor).

Yea, like me. No warranty and $3000 to rebuild the tranny.
