Tranny blown??

Chrisred · 07-23-2011, 01:44 AM

I was ripping it from 1st to 2nd gear and I think the tranny blew!!! I got code the awd dsc abs and emergency ebv malfunction on my screen. It rattles and smells like something burning. Any ideas??

Sorry to hear man

I realised that the power sort of cut off when you ripped it but I really doubt its the tranny, especially since your manual the 6mts have been running on upgraded turbos without any problems its only the automatics that seem to break at a certain power level.

Im really sorry to hear that man, I hope all goes well.

Thanks bro. Maybe it's differential. I'll plug it in tmrw and check codes. Back to dealership .....again

OEM but don't think it's that. Car drives fine except makes noise and code of course

Oh ok, well just another problem with these damn cars, Im going in next week. It seems like we spend more time in the dealer than driving the damn cars!
I hope you get it fixed best of luck.

Isn't it normal with 60% over stock power levels ?

Get new oil into the T case to see if you can save it. I had grinding and bucking at 60k and changed my tcase oil and it literally transformed the car. I am doing the diff fluids with motul 300 and transmission with lifeguard6 as more preventative maintenance.

I am just concerned with blowing the tranny with the meth and 18+psi maps

Since your an auto, you probably want to upgrade to pentosin ATF1. Lifeguard6 is piss.

Might be an axle? RWD's have been breaking them on high power, maybe something happened on the front axle of your AWD?

Is this supposed to be better in hi performance applications than the factory shell trans fluid?

I had changed to this fluid about a year ago:

FAR better. Like HUGE.

This is exactly what happened to my 335xi. They ended up replacing the entire transfer case. I was lucky and my service contract covered it all (replaced with 11k mile unit). For me, when I would start the car, you would hear the transfer case kinda grind as it tried to engage, it was an awful sound really. The car was completely RWD while it was broken....which I enjoyed haha. It could possibly be your servo motor (it engages the transfer case), but by the way you describe it, it reminds me of how mine was. Sorry to hear it man and Good luck!!
