Slight jerk after Transmission fluid pan changed
Good Morning from NYC,
I changed my transmission oil with the filter pan on Saturday not a full flush. I’m noticing a slight jerk not too harsh. Usually it’s noticeable when the X5 down shifts. My transmission was not doing this before. Is this normal after a transmission fluid change or something went wrong? The shifting are not as smooth as before. A person that gets in my car for the first time will not notice it but I do. |

After I was done with the process, shifts were less pronounced and my MPGs improved a few. It certainly wasn't more jerky or harder shifts. I am worried that some of your gears are not getting properly lubricated and you may damage your transmission which should be bulletproof. |

I turned on the car after screwing the pan then while the car was lifted I started pumping fluid into the transmission until it filled and it started pouring out. Once I noticed that I screwed it and tighten the screw. I forgot to shift through all the gears but I remembered as I drove it a block and I stopped the car and did it all the way up but it wasn't letting me shift down one by one it would jump from the highest number straight to one but it would let me shift up one by one going up.

1) Start engine 2) Put foot on brake (and keep it there) 3) Shift transmission into "R" and "D" continuously 4) Shift transmission in manual mode from 1st to 3rd and hold gear for 3 seconds 5) Shift transmission in manual mode from 1st to 4th and hold gear for 10 seconds 6) Select all gears in manual mode from 1st to 8th and hold each gear for 10 seconds (flip selector in + direction until just before the gear you want to hold, then hold shifter in + direction for 10 seconds so it holds that gear) 7) Keep engine speed at 2000 RPM's for ~30 seconds to ensure torque converter fills with fluid 8) Check temperature and verify that fluid temp is between 30°C and 40°C. (need ISTA+). If you don't have ISTA+ and start with everything completely cold, I can tell you that you'll be up to 30-40C within just 2-3 miles of easy driving, and 5-6 miles will get you to 50C+ and you'll have to wait 1+ hours for it to cool to <40.

I'll say a couple of minutes, 3..4. Should I redo the transmission oil change again? And put new oil?

With my job and dad duties my car time has been relocated. Now the toys sit in the garage and I look at them from time to time while sipping my Coca Cola for energy. I bought an 7 year 100mile warranty that mirrors the OEM warranty bumper to bumper. So I'll take advantage of that for now. So if anything fails I'll just take it in and get the loaner. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love wrenching and doing my work on my rides but at least for the two daily drivers they go to the shops for now. |

Yeah I did but when I was doing it for some reason I couldn't find the thread and during the process I forgot a couple steps along the way... it wasn't until yesterday morning that I found a video on YouTube.
