That code is the tell tale sign of solenoid failure inside of the Mechatronic. You could also have worn clutches inside of the drum, but it's more likely a valve body problem.

82 degrees C is fine.

Hey I have a question! I took my car in for the dreaded jolt from 2-1 the stealership told me slipping clutch, guibo, valve block seal, trans pan seal, and the sleeve. What do you think i should do?? For the trans, guibo = 960 labor and 4660 for parts
The two seals and the sleeve 550 labor and 785 parts
I really need help!!!!

What's a "guibo?"

txag_530i

The Sonnax Zip kit doesn't include the solenoids. If you want to change out the solenoids then you're going to have to pony-up about $700 for the parts and fluid.

driveshaft flex disc, aka 'guibo'.

how can i guess wich solenoid has problem and wich one is in good condition??

ranger530i

Lol thats what I said too! The only problem is can it be fixed by me replacing the solenoids or do I have to actually do a overhaul??

KyleB

The guibo is not internal to the transmission. It is a rubber flex disc that mounts between the driveshaft and the output flange of the transmission. It is easily serviceable without 'overhauling' anything. If you have the car on a lift, this is a 30 minute job at the most, no solenoid replacement or transmission overhaul required

If one has failed, you can bet good money on the rest of them failing pretty soon too. I would never advocate replacing just one. It takes too much work to get to them to not replace them as an entire set. Why risk having to do the work twice, or worse having a solenoid fail and wipe out your transmission?
