My question is--when a particular BMW transmission fails what are the likely causes in descending order of likelihood.

I think changing fluid is better, especially if a common failure works because of the lubrication or fails because of too much friction. I agree, changing the fluid may not prevent common failures but it should not hurt.

I don't think I am making myself clear. As an example--
If we were to take the first post of this thread that lists transmission symptoms and causes, and, we applied that list to the 5hp24 transmission, how would that list be revised to list problems in descending order, with one being the most common failure?

I should have mentioned I have towed a 6000lb trailer for over 10k miles on the Castrol fluid (seen 120deg F on OBC outside temp in stop and go construction traffic, AC on max, over a dozen times in TX). Even towed a +7500lb sport boat/trailer combo twice between PA and NJ shore, picked up dropped off in the PA mountains.

Actually ZF policy is TO SERVICE the tranny every 100,000 Km or 60,000 miles. Just take a look at this post here, where a different forum member brought the BMW for a tranny service in Germany. I wish we had here in N America the same level of service for those trannies. I would go there 100% sure. The service includes more than changing the ATF. Just read on.
