And of course then it progressed into a full driveline fluid change of the 'Lifetime' fluids. So, I decided to start old school and change the transmission fluid to see if that would help. I thought about resetting adaptations, called the stealer and they were most unhelpful, listing no software updates or TSB's for that issue. According to my Foxwell scanner, no DTC's were registered and all live data was normal, ie. Kind of like a shopping cart with a bad wheel. backing into garage and stop and go traffic, there was a weird miss or stumble that you could feel. Shifts overall were not very smooth and at very slow speeds, ie. To get in there without dropping any supports. Just FYI, you will need ether ISTA or a scan tool that can reset the adaptation (VTG) on the TC.Īlternatively other members have used stuff like this. Here is my experience doing it, and you can see a pic of the hex/socket and torque wrench. Total cost half then the 14mm FCP option below. It its in there perfect and i can use torque wrenches, no issues. I personally got a cheap long hex(Allen) 14mm Socket and a Cheap 14mm Socket, that i cut down to size. Plus I'm personally against removing any supports unnecessarily.Īs mentioned above, the access into the area is restricted, but once you are in there it does open up abit. You don't need to remove any supports or subframes, ect. (The bolt is being blocked by the area I marked with yellow) so… 5 needs to come out, then you can drop that support by removing the "I believe" 6 bolts.ĭepends on how you feel about spending on extra tooling, if you are ok with it, then no. I would not recommend tackling this job if you don't have a lift to use! So, support the gearbox, drop that stupid support, then you can remove that 1 bolt and have complete access to the rear of the trans oil pan. There is 1… 1 freaking bolt blocked by this monstrosity □ XDrive, you need something to support the gearbox as you need to drop the gearbox support. I will have easy access to all screws even with the xdrive and don't need to drop any sub frame for tranny oil. The most impatient part is making sure you are at the temperature threshold, then check to see if you're good to go or need to add more fluid. Remove all other bolts and very carefully pull down cover from the rear side, this way the remaining oil that is left in the pan will come backwards and you can catch it in your oil catcher.Īfter you have drained it through the check tube, there will still be a good amount of oil in the pan, as the oil check tube sits higher and not flush with the bottom of the trans oil pan.Īlso, the whole service is pretty easy. When undoing the bolts that hold the trans oil pan in place, do not fully remove the front bolts.
