so where in the car is the clunk?
Front (underhood)
Middle (transmission?)
Rear (rear differential)
I fear for your transmission. I saw the brown fluid out of my 2007 with 107,000 .... it really needed changing, What I think really needed changing was the filter and that is part of the plastic pan. Not hard to do, but a job to clearfully do with the right (expensive) fluid.
With the X5 level, I could only drain like 4liters of 10 in the trans so I replaced 40% of the fluid. My plan now is to replace that 40% every year (as I like drive about 6000 miles on that car a year) ... til I see it run cleaner and replace the pan-filter somewhere between 25,000 and 50,000 miles.
FYI my biggest prayer
for the x5 is that it's transmission does not fail on me.
