[QUOTE="dicsitar, post: 717955, member: 22007"] My car is E39 525i, auto, year 2002, Japan specs. At times when I engage my reverse gear, there is a loud thud and it seems to be coming from the rear. And when this happens, the thud continues when I move the gear to drive and whenever the gear changes. The thud subsides after driving for sometime. I noticed this problem about 2 years back but it happens infrequently. About 6 months ago, the problem became really bad and the thud occured more frequently whenever I engage the reverse gear. I got it to a workshop and the mechanic checked my transmission oil and found that it was low. So we had the oil topped up and the problem was resolved until recently when the problem resurfaced. This time I had the transmission oil and filter changed but the problem is still there but like before, it is infrequent. Anyone out there who might be able to help with this problem? [/QUOTE]
