Transmission issues summary

[808russian808]

I have codes 49,52 and 59. I hate these transmissions! Is there an easy fix for this? Obviously it is an electrical problem or there would not be any codes so what should I look at first?
49- Symptom gear check
52-gear check 2
59 stalling speed...

That is an incorrect assumption. The code doesn't say what is wrong, it simply reports that something is out of range. That could be a hydraulic or mechanical problem, causing a sensor to report a problem.

The problem (for me) was that BMW seems to see the transmission as one piece which they do not repair. They only replace it.

Are you having only that codes or some special probs with your transmission like rattling sound, hard shifts, .........?

Good luck,

slipping then a hard shift then the light. I did an oil drain and fill and changed the filter.
