I took some time to really try to narrow down what is happing with the transmission. It already slips in 2nd or 3rd. Unfortunately the dealer cant "replicate" this(but now I can do it when I want to). Now what is happing is that in 5 gear only. Just cruising along, maybe 35mph, it seems to almost shift into forth(with a split second slowing down of the vehicle) but then goes back to 5th. Like giving the feeling that the front brakes are being very quickly applied and let go. Only in 5th gear. Turning off the DSC has no effect. Just trying to wrap my head around the problems so that I can explain them to the service manager. Just dont want to be brushed off by them again without logically nailing this down.

Disconnect the large motor on the transfer case and see if it still does it.

Transmission CLICK

I have a 2005 X5 4.4is
I live in San Francisco and have noticed loud clicks in the transmission when driving up steep hills. As I approach an intersection i slow down to look both ways before accelerating again. as soon as I accelerate the gears seem to slip or produce a loud cracking(click) sound. This doesn't always happen. Not sure if this is normal or if there is something wrong with transmission?

Same for me.

I have a 2006 4.4 and experience the same conditions. I have learned to make a complete stop before accelerating when on a hill. But, sometimes it is just not possible. I have read on similar posts, that this is somewhat normal for the ZF 6-speed automative transmission.

Is it just a sound, or do you feel it as well?
