Hi all!

I have a 2K1 GLE, no mods, 76k mi. I bought it w/ 10k mi and I have always noticed:

When driving in traffic, accellerating from a stop and then getting off the gas before the shift to 2nd, causes a really rough shift. It is apparent when you let mostly off the gas, but worse when all the way off the gas.

I did a tranny flush @ 60k, there was no change in the above described.

I went w/ my little bro the other week to test drive one for him (also 2k1, 30k mi). I dried to replicate the shift in the test, but was unable.

Any idea why my tranny does this? should I ditch the MAX fast? I really want that new v-10 M5...

you might have somesort of tranny probelm, get it checked out

 

mine does that..I have a 01 Auto ...damn dealer says its normal and that the tranny is supposed to shift at a particular RPM..anything less would cause it to "cause a jerk"
morons...

 

there is a tsb bullentin regarding 00-01 tranny slipping.....u need to replace the solenoid valve assembly and/or transmission control module....they both cover under 5/60k powertrain warranty....now since u over 60k but if u have extended warranty then u can get it fix...

 

You might try Lube Guard in the Tranny. It is great stuff and I hardly feel the shifts in my 2k SE.

 

most likely your tranny slipping.. and possbily your tranny will go out in the future.
but if you're under warranty you can get that replaced for free
take it to dealer and tell them tranny is slipping
they should fix the problem under warranty

 

that is a problem when shifting under WOT. the problem he is talking about is normal. our trannies search for gears alot if you are in stop and go traffic. at certain speeds, as you let off the gas it upshifts then downshifts. its right at the line where a little faster it goes to 3rd. its trying to figure out what gear is best.
if im driving in those conditions and i know im not going to be going over 50 then i drive in 2nd. if not it will go back and forth between 2nd and 3rd.
and i do know the diffirence between this and the TSB issue. i bought a new TCM a few weeks ago to fix that.

 

again..its not slipping..its searching for the best gear..there is a big diffirence between the two

 

did you get it from a dealer? or anywhere online?

 

i got it from dave burnette. (512)444-4962
