Hey guys.
I have 2011 328i with 6L45. I think GM transmission is not a perfect match with german car- but it is what it is.
Recently mechanics did fluid and filter change for 60k mile. It was first trans service for this car.
But shortly after that, I was having weird 2-3 shift. 1-2, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 or all downshifts are smooth but always 2-3 upshift.
Sometimes it changes gear like DCT (too fast engage, causes jerk) or sometimes takes too long between shifting.
Fluid they used are Valvoline Dex VI. Filter from BMW Dealership.
I verified fluid level- it was correct. Drained & Refilled with another 7 qts of same Dex VI. Still same.
Cold shifts during mornings are usually pretty much soft. Problem comes back when its hot. Usually after long drive or highway drive.
Pressures are all stable.
So here's a question... Can I add lubegard red to see it smoothens 2-3 upshift out?
No active codes, oil life count reset, adaptation reset already performed.
Already drove 500 miles after reset, still same. trans temperature is around 188F when it start to do 2-3 jerk.
Never reached 192F or more while monitoring.
Thanks guys.
