Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this:
My wife's 2007 X3 (only 69k miles) was acting up recently. She was driving at normal speed 30-50mph and all of a sudden shifting was jerky. Yellow transmission indicator came on. She pulled over, turned the car off, the back on. Put the car in D and tried to drive, the car did not move, only revved up. She attempted to turn the car off and on again, and then the car drove fine.
Took it into stealership yesterday and they found the "56BD – EGS: Clutch, gears 2 and 6: neutral test" code. Told me they want to replace the entire transmission for $8k.
Did some research and some articles say that this code may be due to a "broken selector shaft rod", which would not require an entire transmission rebuild or replacement. Anyone have the same experience? If we really have to go the route of a new transmission, may look into getting another car.
thanks in advance!
