SELF-RELIANCE is a beautiful thing. Well done bro... I too work on my own vehicles.

Just wanted to add, crack the fill plug before you drain it. If it's seized, you are in a jam if you've already drained it.

Check your Oil seperator hoses, I had the same problem if you have a M62 engine like me, leaking behind the motor. If not, it’ll be the valve cover gasket

I use to have a e53 x5 3.0 and I just bought a 4.4 x5 e53 today and I'm so worried somethings going to go wrong after all the forums I've read but I just love driving the car so damn much.. how much should this transmission servicing cost at a shop roughly? I live in Vancouver BC

Depends on the year. I have a 6speed 6HP26. I don't recommend getting the amazon solenoid kit. A quality company like FCP euro will be your best source for parts. Parts alone will come to $700ish. Labor varies depending what shop you take it to. My guess would be $1000 total. KZread and forums will be a great source of information on maintaining it yourself.

Which older Mercedes do you have? I have an 86 420SEL and a 95 E300 Diesel. Both great cars if you keep up with the care and feeding.

This is the kit I got. Older 4.4i have a different transmission and different filters. You can do a VIN decoder to see what transmission model you have. Or find out where its labeled on yours to make sure before you tear it apart. Good luck. www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-ga6hp26z-mechatronic-service-kit-24152333899kt3

It did fix it. But it took about 2 weeks before the shift solenoids started working right. Then everything was perfect

Link to parts?
