2001 BMW X5 E53 4.4i auto transmission just revs when in drive.
What is your question?
My 2001 BMW X5 E53 4.4i had a trouble code p0720 which is a bad transmission output speed sensor. I replaced the output and input speed sensors and also changed the filter and fluid in the auto transmission. When I pulled the pan on the tranny I noticed there were about 5 little pieces of medal about the size of a pencil lead at the bottom. I cleaned out the pan and put a new filter , sensors and fluid . I put it back together and started it up. I do not get the p0720 code anymore but the transmission when put in drive just revs like it is in neutral. Does anyone know what would cause this problem? I am hoping its not the transmission. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
