I figure if the whole concept of "adaptation" is changing the car's response to the environment it's being driven in, an occasional reset is good thing and I don't mind doing it once a season. |

I recently got an '11 E88/N55 DCT w/about 40k mi. It is bone stock, and don't know what updates have been put on but all its required service was performed by a BMW dealer. From delivery it had the dreaded launch delay and the terrifying RPM drop/surge w/AC on in traffic. There was no way I could let my wife drive it that way. I put the MHC Stage 1 DCT tune (w/only OEM CAT DP option checked) and reset all the adaptations. No more launch lag, no more RPM drop/surge.

Can confirm the fix posted by OP in the bottom section of the first post resolved my DCT issues after the SIB had been performed without results. I think you need the SIB completed to get you on the newest firmware first then clear the trans, throttle, and air mass adaptations to clear out the car's old bad habits. I've had my car almost two years and been dying to sell it because of this issue. I'm finally happy.

Transmission Malfunction warning
Hi all,
I've had a scare the other day driving my 135is on the freeway (DCT). I was exiting the freeway when suddenly I got a transmission malfunction warning stating that I need to drive the car moderately. I was able to lurch my way home and noticed that it would skip gear 2 and 4 - so when I was in complete stop, it would engage 1st gear, and then 3rd after revving the engine (manual mode did not work). I turned off the car and had it towed to a local independent mechanic, who found that the error cleared itself, and suspected that it could be an issue with the mechatronic unit (he didn't see any leaks). I've driven it for the past few days without any issues (both in manual mode and in auto mode). I'm taking it to dealer for a second opinion, but wanted to check whether anyone has had similar experience? thanks! |

-Check for leaks-done -Reset ALL transmission adaptations -Have shop check fluid level and fill if necessary (special procedure required) -Replace filter and fluid (this I where we get to choose our adventure, do you replace only the bigger filter or do you also replace the side filter[IIRC replacing the side filter requires the transmission to be dropped so more $$], I honestly don't remember what each does right now) I might have missed something, but if all of this fails then might be time for new clutches. I'll note that I saw my old clutches after they were taken off the car and hey had a couple of tiny scorch marks, and really no clutch material missing, but I'm also not an expert on wear for these things. How many miles are on the car? |

Thanks for this! How do you reset transmission adaptations? Is this something I can do myself?
I have a little under 40,000 miles right now -- it's my DD and I love the car except for the DCT. 've been dealing with lag/ idle/ lurch since I bought the car, and the dealer always insisted that there are no SIB updates available -- I've learned to live with it, but this transmission malfunction issue brings it to a whole new level. Did you replace the clutch after warranty? Or was it covered? If after, what sort of bill were you looking at? I was told that the mechatronics (if it needs to be replaced) would be around $6k - $7k. |

My clutch replacement all in was about $4,500. I also had the oil pan gasket replaced at the same time (slight leak) as well as the motor mounts, for another couple hundred bucks on top of that. At 40k miles though I don't think that should be your issue, unless you've been doing launch controls every now and again, or a bit more frequently. I was at 90k miles when I started having these issues. |

Thanks all! I went to dealership on Friday and they confirmed that there is no leak but they found a bunch of error codes re: low voltage. Consequently they recommend replacing the battery, which they think might be the reason the dct acted up. They also charged me an hour of labor (ugh) for resetting the Transmission adaptation. I would have preferred to wait until I get back to my independent mechanic but I’m leaving town for a few weeks. Hopefully the bTtery change will help but not feeling too confident about it. Will keep you all posted if this happens again.

My car loves to jump forward after getting off the brake and will feel like it hesitates as it climbs RPM in first gear from 700-1000+. My DCT will also surge in power occasionally when coming to a stop and when idling at a light the RPM will out of nowhere occasionally surge up to 1500 RPM and the car will shake for a second. I haven't really had an AC issue but wondering if anyone has been having a similar issue and if they fixed it. I've reset transmission adaptations with ISTA and it will fix itself for a few days and then come back. I find the car drives rougher as the engine warms up and the more I drive in sport/manual mode as if the car starts to adjust to my driving. |

I would flash the updated DCT and DME software.
I used ZB# 8606072 (135iS) for the DCT, and PPK flash for the DME. The original software caused the car to roll back and forth ever so slightly when in P, and also had common RPM surge when coming to a full stop with the A/C on. Immediately after buying the car, I flashed the above versions of the DCT + DME software and re-calibrated the setpoints for the DCT in ISTA. I have absolutely no issues at all for a month now. It drives fantastically.

https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...0&postcount=65 This is the cheapest and the most versatile fix as you'll have options to do other things with the tool. If it doesn't work, confirm your battery is good and properly coded first, then try the reset tool again. After that, go with your mechanic. |

With that said, I highly doubt a leaky seal would only rear its head only when the A/C is turned on. It would happen all the time affecting idle whether the A/C is on or not. I personally would go have the adaptations reset and go from there. From what I remember, my dealer charged me around $160 or so to get it done which isn't that bad. Since then I have a pretty powerful scan tool which if my car starts acting up again, I will attempt to see if I can do the adaptations reset with it. |
