I just updated my car last weekend; I have the latest version of ISTA with a dedicated tablet and I have all the REAL hardware including ICOM. My transmission was not on the list for update when I ran all the updates. If I remember correctly, the last time I updated my transmission was a couple of years ago. I'd have to check the version on my transmission now to let you know what I'm running; but I'm out of town until this weekend, so it'll be a few days... |

No worries there I see, so if your tranny was not on the list, how did you update it? Also, how much did you have to pay for all the hardware you have? cuz I wonder if its cheaper to go to the dealership to do this update? I would like to update mine since I never done it... |

I would love to make a San Diego field trip, but I am really busy right now and just won't have the time in the very near future. If you plan to be in the Phoenix area any time in the near future, send me a message and I can hook you up (a lot less than the dealer will charge)

I'm actually considering doing a half-assed fluid/filter change as an interim, hoping it helps. Damn automatics!! I swapped the clutch on my e36 on jackstands without blinking an eye but auto transmissions freak me out.

if you have transmission smoothness problems: Jumps into D harsh shifting/engagements CHANGE YOUR TRANSMISSION FLUID. do a FULL FLUSH, and change your FILTER. |

btw I'm going to try -TRY- and do at least a fluid/filter swap before the upgrade happens. Having just bought this thing a few weeks back, I really have no idea what's in there.

Hey Mr Zigsman is coming to San Diego this week. Do you still have issues with your tranny? He has all the software and hardware to do it. I believe the meet is this Thursday

2007 e92 Auto Trans.
Quote:
Zigsman, Thanks for all the input! So i have the same issue with 2-1 jerky shift and it sucks. Does not happen in DS and i also had it go into limp mode 2 diff times in the last 1.5 mths. Really frustrating. My friend is a BMW master tech that worked at the dealer and now has a shop. He got a fault code for the trans and has not gotten back to me in over a week. It seems like hes kinda prone to saying " trans needs to be replaced " when we spoke about it before he got the code. Im dying during the wait for the info he has gathered. Seems like the dealer or anyone that was trained at the dealer will always just say to replace the whole thing. Fuck that, im not trying to hear it. I've spent a lot on the car already and really dont want to buy a new transmission. Do you think that 2-1 downshift issue that you said is prob the solenoids would kick a code out? Does it sound like i have 2 separate issues? The car drives perfect. when it went into limp mode, it was driving so good! Makes no sense. I was in a higher gear prob like 4th or 5th when it happened. It has 115k on it and i understand that its 10 years old now, but a lot has happened with it and i dont want to keep losing, but also feel like ive invested and should just deal with the issue rather than sell the car. Anyway, i could talk for hours about this car and my experience with it but for now transmission talk will do. Please let me know if you have any view on the matter as i wait for the possible bad news from my tech. Thank you! |
