1. pause of exactly 2 seconds before engaging into reverse in drive, park or neutral-I heard something about a release of pressure but why from neutral? or just in general
2. slow to shift when cold from 1-2 and 2-3. It overrevs and then catches
3. when I am coming to a stop to roughly 5mph and then push the gas, the car jerks into gear
4. rough downshift from 2-1 when decelerating before coming to a stop.


Should I re-program the tranny with new software? Any other ideas? I would really appreciate any insight into this

I am experiencing the exact same symptoms on my X5 with the exception of #1. I have a 2006 4.4 with 58K miles. My CPO ends on December 30, so I will have to visit my dealer soon. A couple of years ago, I informed my dealer of some unusual shifting when coming to a stop. At the time they told me it was normal. Since, it would occur infrequently I did not think much of it.
