How no reverse situation can become good news!!
Possible No-reverse solution for GM tranny owners. Important information! Read - E46Fanatics Followed the advice, pushing the car outside of my property, went for a 5 minutes drive and I got the reverse again like by magic! Of course, I have to replace the solenoid, of course I have to change the 119000 miles fluid but at least I don't have to replace the tranny! Please be aware that this concerns only GM transmissions, I'd like to know how many 6 cylindre engines have had their tranny changed instead of just looking at this solenoid!

I'm sitting on a bad solenoid in my X5 4.4i - the dealership won't go that far into the tranny to fix it - so their plan is $10,229.00 +tax for a new tranny.
I'm thinking I am going to get a good tranny shop to replace the suspect solenoid (I do have the BMW diagnostic report) and see where that takes me. |

It's not the reverse solenoid - which I guess is a good thing.
It's an intermittent solenoid issue - I would have to check the diagnostic to see which one - I get the Trans Failsafe Prog on start up and the car has one forward gear (4th, so it's still ok for the highway). After a warmup (clearing the filter?), I can restart the SAV and the issue is cleared. I'll be investigating local tranny shops and seeing if they have the necessary skills to swap out the solenoids. |

I too have a 2001 3.0. Anyway to tell if I have the GM or ZF transmission without getting under the car?

All 3.0i engines have the GM transmission.

All 3.0 gasoline models have the GM transmission. The ZF is only used on the V8 models (not considering the 3.0 diesel models).

This is great info. I am wondering how much longer I can go until my tranny takes a crap. So far it's flawless.
Thank you
