Re: ATF change

Any bro who changed ATF and face dread problem pls share your experience and prevent us from jumping in this cave ok ?! Calling calling !!!

I think the chances of gearbox failure will be 30/70 to change or not to change. Is very difficult to believe that the oil will last you forever. Yes, it will last till your gearbox down and replace/repair the gearbox.

We need more input from:
1. those who have not change ATF oil since day 1 and their gearbox still going strong.
2. Did not change ATF oil since day 1, when(Mileage) did their gearbox face problem.
3. change ATF oil(Which mileage) and face problem after change.

I had changed ATF oil on 30Oct2012 at 80,000km mileage, so far so good. Fingers crossed.

Why so scared. Just ATF oil change. Please change the oil pan as well. Guarantee you will feel nicer shifting. Update software if you have to.

Re: ATF change

Affirmative. My ATF fluid was never changed over many many years. Now, at least the gears are smooth and all is good after the replacement. Funny thing is that BMW says the ATF is lifetime stuff. But on the side of the transmission oil pan down below, there is a label indicating fluid spec. If its lifetime, then why indicate the spec?
