I followed the fill procedure for the transmission fluid very closely.
Currently I have a whining noise that comes from the transmission when under a specific RPM and load during acceleration.
All of my research so far says that either the fuild level is low or the filter is of unacceptable quality.
I will check the fluid tomorrow morning when cold to see if I can squeeze another 300 ml or so in the pan.
The filter I recieved from http://www.bavauto.com was a generic comapny "Mann". The BMW forums state that the filter must be manufactured by Filtran. The Filtran filter has mode internal support to the filter. If the filter is not made by Filtran, then when the filter is under high pressure, it will colapse and fluid supply will drop. Does this sound plausible?
I wish I could find these things out before hand. :crybaby2:
