E39 Transmission Issue

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have an E39 530i 2001 with I believe a ZF transmission. Gave the car a wash this morning with pressure washer. Went to go to the warehouse and it shifts very badly. Clunked into reverse and then started slipping in 3rd gear. Gave it a scan with generic scanner and got code P0733 which is Incorrect gear ratio for 3rd. Any ideas? It was shifting perfectly before the wash as I had drove it this morning. Seems odd that it would do this right after washing it.

You may have damaged or interfered with one of the wheel speed sensors with the water blaster. A generic scanner will not help you with this. You need to monitor live data to determine where the fault is.
