2000 X5 Transmission acting up
 

My truck has 112,000 miles on it. 4.4 V8 . She might be old but is in great condition. Today while driving coming to a stop sign setting with foot on brake felt like the t/c disconnected. When light turned green i stepped on throttle and engine reved and truck hesitated.. Then converter engauged and off it went.. Then again at next light except kind did the engauge disengauge 3 time very fast before it hooked up. Drove it around and no other issues, no trans error or fault lights on. Got on it hard few times and NO slipping, shifted it manually and all worked perfrectly. seemed like once oil was hot and up to temp th problem was gone. Almost feels like its slightly low on oil? Course ya cant check it no dip stick... any thoughts ??:wtf:

You actually can check if it is low on oil. You just need a temp gun and open the fill hole. I will wait for others to confirm temp range, but I believe it is between 30C and 50C.

Procedure would be.
1. Car fully cold.
2. Start car.
3. Get under car right away, and open the fill hole.
4. No oil coming out, at this point, is a good thing.
5. Measure temp with temp gun, or INPA, or DIS. I have a computer.
6. When temp reaches the range, 30c to 50c, it should drip a bit. If it does not drip, you are low on oil.

I suggest, you getting a bottle of oil and a pump to get it in there right away. So start the car, open fill hole, and pump in oil till it leaks out. Wait till it gets to 40c, wait till it drips, and not leaks, close fill cap.

Be careful, shit gets hot quick under the car.

@112k on the clock... if you haven't changed out the trans filter, you might want to consider doing it while your down there ;)
