Going to be replacing my air springs Wednesday or Thursday. Used to take my vehicles in, now I'm trying to learn myself to save money because I'm also a new dad( well almost 4 months now lol). Now being a new dad I just pay people lot's of money to putz with it. Their insured at least when shit goes bad. So, used x5 buyers, would you prefer a vehicle with untouched tranny, or the one 'serviced' like the above? Is number 8 to see if I need more fluid? Or to put it again the fluid after the first fill up? If you don't have ISTA+ and start with everything completely cold, I can tell you that you'll be up to 30-40C within just 2-3 miles of easy driving, and 5-6 miles will get you to 50C+ and you'll have to wait 1+ hours for it to cool to <40. Also, one thing that helped me is to be diligent about the angle of the car/pan - ensure it's at level-ride angles (essentially level at the tranny/pan connection).ģ) Shift transmission into "R" and "D" continuouslyĤ) Shift transmission in manual mode from 1st to 3rd and hold gear for 3 secondsĥ) Shift transmission in manual mode from 1st to 4th and hold gear for 10 secondsĦ) Select all gears in manual mode from 1st to 8th and hold each gear for 10 seconds (flip selector in + direction until just before the gear you want to hold, then hold shifter in + direction for 10 seconds so it holds that gear)ħ) Keep engine speed at 2000 RPM's for ~30 seconds to ensure torque converter fills with fluidĨ) Check temperature and verify that fluid temp is between 30☌ and 40☌. This is the process to ensure proper fill. No I didn't fill it till it spilled, seal the screw, shift through all the gears and fill again. ![]() I am worried that some of your gears are not getting properly lubricated and you may damage your transmission which should be bulletproof. It certainly wasn't more jerky or harder shifts. When adding the fluid back in to the pan, did you fill until it flowed out then start the car, run through the gears as explained in a few posts on here and then refill the pan again? It should take 4-5 liters from what I recall.Īfter I was done with the process, shifts were less pronounced and my MPGs improved a few. I did this about a month ago and did not have the same response after. A person that gets in my car for the first time will not notice it but I do. Is this normal after a transmission fluid change or something went wrong? The shifting are not as smooth as before. My transmission was not doing this before. ![]() Usually it’s noticeable when the X5 down shifts. I’m noticing a slight jerk not too harsh. I changed my transmission oil with the filter pan on Saturday not a full flush.
