Transmission problems
Hi guys,
our 4.4 has some transmission issues. It started a few months ago, when we had to stop on a light hill and got going again, there was a bang to hear when my wife started to drive again and you could "feel" the bang. After that no issues for a while and now since a few days, it shifts rough from the first to the second gear and again you can "feel" it. The X5 has now 175.000km and I am wondering if I please get some advice from you guys. Otherwise it works fine and no slipping. Would an oil change help (even if BMW state it's for life) ??? Thanks! |
TC gear is probable (worn out) check it and flip it if it is.

No oil lasts a life time! A local shop can do a scan and drive diagnostic. The service is usually free if the oil is changed or transmission repairs are done as needed. I would call a service shop. I had the oil, filter, and transfer case oil done for $110 locally.
Do you have scanner access to do a deep BMW scan? |
Lifetime trans oil is the biggest disservice BMW did to 3rd and 4th owners of every zf equipped Bimmer. Sad.
Specific to your problem though... Start with a trans service doing the 3 tube seals, bridge seal, fluid, and filter/pan. If that doesn't work you will need a valve body rebuild. If that doesn't work... Well, I don't think you'd want to fix it's cost will easily outstrip the value of the vehicle. |

Can you please give some more information on the parts you recommend to change?? (for tube seal and bridge seal, the other parts are known) I was thinking about getting a used transmission after I try an oil change. But I have than maybe the same problem........ Thank you! |

^ Transfer case actuator gear rarely causes (ever?) the 2-1 gear slam. But it is cheap and easy to do. Couldn't hurt. I just did our e70 and made a YouTube video on the subject. There are plenty though, most better than mine. BTW, we've been assuming you have a late model 4.4 OP with xdrive. What year is your x5?
