Tranny Kick???

Hello, I have notice once in a while upon coming to a complete stop, I notice the tranny making some kind of a kick down before stopping. Its like its does this weird shake then it stops. It doesn't do all the time, maybe once ever so often. Is this normal or is something starting to go bad? Has anyone else experienced this oddness? Thanks...

Does it feel almost like someone ran into you?
If so, I had the same problem and a reflash of the transmission software fixed it for me.

Mine used to do this before I had v23 flashed to the tranny. As the X5 slows to a stop, it downshifts all at once at the last second to get into first gear. I think this was an effort to save fuel (holding a higher gear as long as possible). With the new programming, it doesn't do this (at least it's not noticable).

I think this affected many years of the X - my 2001 3.0i does it too. I really notice it if I put it in manual shift mode, shift up to 3rd gear under acceleration and then let off the gas once I hit 3rd. BAMMMMMM!!!

Now that I think about it, I have not noticed it as much when decelerating (as you have described) - maybe I have gotten used to it.

Yep. This is covered by warranty. Just take it in and they'll flash your tranny with the latest software. It is often described as a 2-1 kickdown problem when coming to a stop. Your service advisor will know exactly what you are referring to. It'll fix it. 4.4i included.

Umm...I don't think this is for the Pre-2003. I think us Pre-boy's are stuck. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.....

What I'm going to do is call Monday morning (SA) and see what he says, if they can't do anything because its a Pre 03-04-05- etc... Then I'm going to leave it as is. Like I said before. It does it once in a blue moon, car runs like a champ and tranny is smooth as silk. I'm just going to flush the tranny at 100k when ever that time comes... I'll find out Monday and I will then post my results....Thanks everyone for your input...
