Hello Everybody

My E39 528IA Steptronic gearbox has recently developed a fault.
In automatic mode it does not shift upwads from 3rd. to 4th. gear.
If i switch to manual mode it shifts flawless.
Shifting backwards not a problem even in automatic mode.
Anybody has any idea what it could be?
Waiting for your kind support,
Tikka7

Usually running in 3rd gear is a default "limp mode". But it stays in 3 all the time and does not shift through 1, 2. It sounds like a controller fault, I'd try to get it scanned and see what the computer tells you

Any idea?
