Hi everyone, sorry my first post is one where i'm searching for help but i'm fairly new to the X5 world and i was really enjoying it up until yesterday.
My car is a 2002 3.0D Sport model with 70,000 miles on the clock.
Yesterday without any warning at all the dreaded 'trans failsafe prog' message appeared on the dash yet the car was still driving fine. Switching the car off then restarting cleared the message and the car drove fine again until travelling at low speeds which seemed to confuse the car with it going into lower gears and not changing until 3700 rpm.
I drove the car to my local indy garage where the codes were cleared, codes PO732 & PO734 were stored, i took the car out last night and it was driving normally for 5 miles then the warning on dash again.
Today i took the car out again, covered 3 miles then without any warning it lost all drive, no 'trans failsafe prog' message on dash this time but car will not drive in any gear, tiptronic will only allow selection of gears 1, 2 & 3 but car doesn't drive anyways
I'm expecting the worst and the need for a new auto box but can anyone shed any light on what is likely to have happened? There was no noises through transmission prior to or during the loss of drive that would have indicated component failure within the gearbox.
My car has the A5S390R GM box in it, a box i see many other BMW models also use, could an equivilent box from a rear drive Bmw be used in the X5? Is the transfer box bolted to the box and interchangable?
Sorry for all the questions
Regards, Keith.
