what will happen next .... massive transmission problem
Hi guys, trouble ahead here.
it started this evening. Swiching to "D" the X doesn't move for some seconds. Also in "R" a delay. After driving some minutes "GETRIEBENOTPROGRAMM" in the display. This means something like "transmission emergency program". Since I need to drive tomorrow my question: What will happen next? Will the X simply stop moving? What is the transmission doing in that mode? A power off/on has resetted the whole problem - but for some minutes only :dunno:. Thanks in advance Helmuth |
any other lights, messages?
ABS module? |

Rent a car for tomorrow. You don't want to any more damage to the trans by driving it. Have a Tech find out what's the problem. You received a DTC so go from there.

This differs from case to case. I drove mine with "TRANS FAILSAFE PROGRAM" message for 400 km. The torque become reduced so it accelerates slowly. Other than that nothing noted. Later, I replaced my transmission with a used one. Now it's very fine.

You have to find out what the associated codes are. It could be a sensor, torque converter, lockup solenoid, valve body, or failed components inside. a good indy will be able to diagnose or send you to a specialist.

You got the roar at 70mph, switching to sport switches you torque converter setting. So you may have some damage there. I too would rent or borrow a car if possible. You will cause a lot more damage if the torque converter grenades.

Just to close that thread:
The roar since ~2 years at ~70 - 80 km/h - went away when switching to sport mode. Yesterday the TRANS FAILSAFE (first time ever) Today after 5 kilometers - over. The X doesn't move any more. Somehow a sad story but she will be back on the road soon. Have a great weekend all. Helmuth PS: had the transmission oil changed at ~130k and 140k (km). Now I am at 155k. |

New status: refurbished transmission from BMW is mounted. Costed nearly an arm and a leg from a financial standpoint
BUT: she is on the road again. Did my last business trip in a VW Passat while she was in the garage - what a pain :-) |
