I had to replace my engine in my 2011 BMW X5 35i XDrive. Everything went smooth the only issue I ran into was I had to shim the starter. After I got everything put together I started the motor and when I put it in reverse and touch the peddle it just rev’d and the gear shifted when back to park. I put it in Drive and same thing and it just went back to park. Then the transmission malfunction popped on the idrive. I ran the codes through ISTA and it gave me 4 codes. Ratio Monitoring Clutch B, Clutch A+B, Clutch B+C, and All Clutches. I did the service function oil level adjustment then I did the Gear Ratio service and right after it showed the conditions it just says replace transmission. My transmission didn’t have any issues before the motor swap and there wasn’t any loud noise or anything just nothing. Am I missing something I’m stuck?

Hello, who performed the replacement of the engine? What is the source of the replacement of the engine? "Shim the starter" - why? I can't understand why that would be needed.
Truth be told, there are variances here that I can't possibly imagine because I don't know the circumstances, who did the work and where the engine came from and what the engine came out of if it's used.
