Rebuilding the gearbox for the 2018 BMW X1

[MotoGravity]

Greetings, everybody.

I am seeking guidance. For the most part, my 2018 20d x1 has been experiencing gearbox problems. Strength training. Slamming every known problem with the 8-speed Aisin gearbox.


It has been serviced by a gearbox expert today and is covered by the dealer's warranty. Their assessment is that the gearbox requires disassembly and reconstruction.

Can we trust this repair? I was hoped this vehicle could make it to 80,000 miles. It has barely done 40,000 so far.

Anyone who can offer assistance or guidance would be much appreciated.

Any respectable auto box specialist worth their salt would have worked on Aisin gearboxes in the past, and they should also be familiar with the problems that the BMW variation has, so I don't see why this repair can't be relied upon.

You may rest assured that any gearbox supplied by a BMW dealer will be a refurbished one.

From my experience, the lowest mileage at which they have failed on an ex-MOT vehicle is 1500.

It's surprising; I feel foolish for ignoring the numerous problems with these, but I'm hopeful the repair will extend their useful lives.
