They dismounted, turned, and remounted all tires — still vibration. I am convinced it's something in the driveline and not the tires/wheels. It only happens when passing through 3000 RPM at mid to heavy throttle, only really noticeable in first and second gear. Just such a blemish for an otherwise beautifully smooth engine and transmission. BMW xDrive is a full-time all-wheel drive system with the transfer case being the core component. The transfer case works by directing power from the transmission to both the front and rear differentials. xDrive can make a trip on snowy roads an easier time on you and your car. BMW xDrive is found on the BMW X1, X3, X5, and X6 crossover sport 2001 X5 E53 4.4ltr - Sudden loss of reverse. I've been browsing this forum via google for days now watching/trying solutions to my problem. I left my house (reversed) without an issue, long drive to my brothers house. On leave, reversed of his driveway with little/no reverse, very weak. So far, I've drained the transmission the best I could and I havent had any issues with emissions systems, but its only a matter of time. The delete hardware + a decent tune will run you around 2-3 grand from what ive seen. As compared to 6k+ repair bills for SCR, DPF, EGR nonesense. Ive heard good things from DUDMD, TuneMyEuro, and Malone, for tunes. Here is my personal observation of the problem. I have ~4000 miles on my 2019 X5 x40i. All my observations are coming from information collected from a 4K DVR and a relatively fast GPS receiver for speed measurements, and a fast and sensitive accelerometer/motion processing unit in my vehicle (a cell phone accelerometer is too slow to register this kind of problem). When going from park to drive it takes 1 or 2 seconds and makes a click/clunk noise sometimes. The guys here at Bimmerfest say that its the Guibo/Flex Disc. But the other issue is the harsh shifting/downshifting and sporadic rpm spike by about 100-150rpm. The diagnosis came up with a bad Torque Converter. I asked for details and he explained to E53 3.0d gearbox oil change. by Roryb1985 » Thu Mar 18, 2021 5:17 am. Morning all, I am wanting to do gearbox oil change on my x5 with 180k on it but I went to check the clutch’s on diagnostic and e clutch is showing 750 which is at it max. The car has no running issues so do you thing it will be safe to change or just leave it. This neutral safety switch was used in the E38 7 Series 740i, 740iL (1997-2001), E39 540i and 540i Wagon (1997-2003), E53 X5 4.4i and X5 4.6is (2000-2003) and the Z8 Alpina Roadster (2003). The purpose of this part is to tell the computer and body electrics system if the transmission is in "P" park or "N" neutral to make sure it is safe to wqU9.
