Hi Guys, i have a 2004/ 54 plate X5 with 21" snchizter wheels,when i brake over 50 mph i get a sever shaking on front end and through steering wheel. i am in the motor trade so know my way around brakes etc,so i put new discs and pads on front,but it still does it. i also have changed the front lower controll arms and bottom ball joints on bothThe power steering lines have those same clips as the front part of the transmission cooler lines. They attach to the front left side of the radiator and continue on to its own steering cooler. Yes a power steering fluid cooler. Why on an X5 I don't know.

A lot cheaper than a box, but still a bitter pill to swallow.

The specific model of the gearbox is A5S390R or 5L40-E. Does the e53 have some sort of temperature sensor in the tranny? (2006 4.4i x5).

The behavior below leads me to believe it has something to do with the Transmission initializing or coming up to temp, because it shift fine after the first few starts and stops. 1. Limp Mode?Customer says the transmission is stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear and will not shift. We are going to try to 2001 BMW X5 4.4l Transmission Will Not Shift?
