I am thinking of putting mine up on jack stands again and rechecking the fluid level.... I filled mine and checked at 86 degrees, so I thought I'd be good. Ticked at first, then seemed to go away...been driving a few hundred miles, and at idle I can now hear a faint ticking or clicking every second or two still if I get under the car. Definitely sounds like metal on metal. Thinking maybe its that arm with the roller bearing on it under the manual selector lever, or something of a similar composition. Not sure if perhaps these cars make a faint tick in that area. May try to take a look at other 328xi's to see if perhaps they all sound like this, again can't hear it unless you get under the car...Hmm. Here is a vid of the sound, its the single metallic tap every second and a half or so : Anyone have any thoughts? Frank Last edited by franktrottajr; 08-29-2018 at 03:47 PM.. |

A couple people in the thread said they had a tick for a little while afterwards. But all I saw had said it went away with time. YMMV. IF you topped off the ATF properly, there really isn't much more you can do. You could drain and replace again, and possibly put in the TCC additive. Because the next step is a bit invasive....

Ordered the lubeguard products, but I really hope to resolve this without resorting to mechanic in a bottle "fixes". Wish I had the patience to drop the valve body and clean all the passages, if that is in fact what's going on....hopefully the fluid level somehow read correctly when it was not in fact correct. Thanks for the advice. Frank |

Not to revive a thread from the dead, but for consistency. Changed my Trans fluid at 123k miles (didn't have the car until 116k). I've done it twice now, first time I sent it off to BS for an analysis (attached). Not the greatest of news there.
I changed it because of the 40-50 MPH shudder that's common. After, I was so pissed I nearly sold it as is with the new problems. I didn't feel right about the whole thing. I ordered the kit from FCP of course. 7 quarts of LiquiMoly 1800 (Informed them either 1100/1200 wasn't Dexron VI compatible therefore incompatible and now they don't offer it!). 1st time (10/20/18, 123450 miles). Got about 3.5 quarts out, same put in even running the car. Car had a funny noise I wasn't sure about and surged really bad in 1st and 2nd gear, drove fine on highway. 2nd time (11/17/18, 125421 miles) Only got about 1.5 quarts out. Put in over 4 (I ordered 1 extra quart from Amazon)! I did the same procedure, but this time I was a one man crew so it may have taken longer overall. I think the sound I heard last time was the trans pump sucking air, because now there is no sound and so far I haven't had any odd noises or tranny surges in 1st and 2nd.

There is absolutely nonthing wrong with Dex vi, and to mix fluids with Tes-295 or any other fluid other than Dex vi is inviting disaster and completely unnecessary. |

I don't need to convince myself of anything, I have tens of thousands of miles on vehicles using dex vi, they all shifted smoothly and were long lasting. I have no idea what experience has led you to your bizarre conclusions.

That's the whole point of my post, this guy is telling the op to add 8 quarts to the plug on the side rather than what the op did, using the plug that is designed to act as the transmission fluid level indicator and putting back in what he took out. This is terrible advice and could very well destroy a transmission overfilling it by almost 4 quarts.

Uh.... that would be my conversations with Tom Johnson who sat on the GM Automatic Transmission Fluid Committee during the Dex VI introduction and it was he who established the TES-295 requirement after transmissions in GM trucks who were running Dex VI began to fail.

I wouldn't be shocked if fuel economy considerations outweighed transmission health. However, I'd be wary of changing from the BMW recommendation as I think this is a complicated issue.
Interesting discussion on transmission fluids featuring I think Tom Johnson mentioned above. https://community.fmca.com/topic/317...gineer/?page=2 My conclusion after reading this is I don't have the nerve to go against the recommended fluid.

I don't know what's going on with GM trucks, I don't drive one. Every GM vehicle I've owned including my 328i works perfectly fine with dex vi. |

Do you regularly put words in peoples mouths,. then criticize them for it.... what a jerkoff move. I never once said Dex Vi lasts 30 k miles. What I did say in a TES-295 fluid is designed to go 100k miles without servicing, something Dex Vi is not. Also, I have experience driving a few BMW's that have switched over to a TES-295 fluid, and you have not. Explain to me how this gives you any ability to make any kind of comment regarding shift quality? The ol' inna-net is chocked full of guys like you, who have never done anything, yet seem to know it all. |
