RRPhil, I have just found your excellent posts on gearboxes, both here and on range rovers.net.
Are you willing to help with random gearbox questions? I wasn't sure if you are happy to be PM'd by new members, and I guess you get lots of requests... but I have searched the forum but can't find quite my symptoms described anywhere. I have just bought a 2001 X5 diesel, so the GM auto box. 143K miles. Had a gearbox rebuild a few years ago, but no record of exactly what was done. It now has the following symptoms: 1. When cold, takes a couple of minutes (to build pressure?) before it will creep or drive either in D or R. 2. Once warm, drives fine all day with only a slight hesitation (1-2 seconds) when engaging D or R, and this only occasionally. 3. Absolutely no clonks, bangs, judders, or slipping while driving. No error codes on dash. Everything is smooth and normal once warm. 4. Went to local garage for transmission fluid top-up or flush/replacement but they stated the fluid was not low and was perfectly clean - so I assume it is either ok from the rebuild a few years ago or has been recently replaced to try and cure the issue before now. They said there is no sign of metal sludge, which I hope from reading your posts is a good thing... I love the car and am happy to fix this, bought it at a good price knowing there would be jobs to do! Can you offer any advice on my next steps? I am thinking a dodgy valve block giving low pressure, which would explain the slow start when cold. I want to sort this ASAP before things get worse, but to get to a proper diagnosis first. Maybe I might get away with just replacing the valve block... Thanks in advance if you are able to help at all. |

So, it looks like the Sonnax - Aftermarket replacement transmission, torque converter, and high performance automotive parts company makes the reman VB and fortifies them to make sure such a problem does not happen again. I was able to get a quote for 450 for VB (My own VB) and the pump cover which has 2 valves (125) to bore out and put sleeves in all valves and check all the solenoids and replace each if necessary. so overall its not a bad price about $700 for that plus the 500 (tranny rebuild kit) plus (100 in oil). so overall im looking at a pretty much new tranny at $1,300....and that is a great price.

@ sundayjumper , You leave that for Phil as he wants to rebuild one of those and share the knowledge .
And his knowledge is by far the greatest so far , as far as I know so you stay far away from it . |

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have spotted it, so you'd better get busy tracking down everyone else who's watching it, so you can threaten them too. |
