I just did the gear replacement and since there is so much information spread out around the internet and in forums on this topic I created a post to try to consolidate it (see below). So far so good, it fixed the problem no more warning lights and no more clicking when I turn off the car. I chose to replace the gear with a new one rather than risk it failing or slipping back into the worn out portion of the gear, my reasoning being if I was going to spend a Sunday working on this I didn't want to ever have to repeat it
I included my photos and the 3 best videos I found on the problem/replacement: BMW Transfer Case Actuator Problem And Fix

Thanks for catching that, updated. I was basing that off of a part spec that I saw but that must've been in error ...

Just as an FYI. Over 2 years since I have flipped my gear. I have all 4 seasons here, and drive it like I stole it from time to time.
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ixed-sort.html It is important to mark the position of the gear on the outside, before you take the motor out.

Hi SlickGt1,
Do you replaced just the "gear" with an updated part or you elected to replace the actuator (pn# 27107566296)? Quote:

I just flipped the gear 180 degrees. Took me all of 15 min to do, oh and free.

Edit: Given 2 years since you did the alternative "free" solution
How many miles after that? At least you can tell the story whether "flipping the gear 180 degrees" was short term fix or can even last longer ( wild a** guess equal or greater than 30,000miles)
