I told them that's ridiculous and to put my transmission back together. They want $7,3000 to rebuild my transmission with the new valve body.
They took it apart and showed me that those clutches were burnt out, scratched, burnt fluid, and also told me that the valve body is bad. Unfortunately, he doesn't do transmission work, and I made the mistake of taking it to my local AAMCO. So, my mechanic discovered the problem in the diagnostic codes and warned me about this happening. My transmission goes into fail-safe mode in high gears (when trying to go fast on the highway, basically gunning it), otherwise it's been driveable if I don't overdo it. I have a 2008 BMW 535i w/ 100k miles, new twin turbo replaced at 80k through BMW/dealer warranty.
Hi I'm new here, and have a problem w/ my transmission.
