Ok, here is my update on my transmission. My Indy mechanic verified the problem with my X5 and it being the mechatronic module. They made the claim with my 3rd party warranty who in turn wanted the car inspected. Yesterday I left the X with them and the inspector verified the symptoms and voila, the warranty co (Security National a.k.a Royal) approved the repair. It's almost $3,000 for the parts and $1000 to install. $100 deductible. YEAH! I paid $3,600 for the warranty and now it's at least paid for itself and I still have 3 1/2 years or 50K miles left on the warranty. But let me tell you what a process to get this approved. My Indy mechanic said they expected the warranty company to not approve the repair and were somewhat shocked when they did. All I can say is I'm quite thankful I bought the warranty because I would have just lived with the transmission problem than paid the $4k to fix it (economic times being what they are).
