OK, here's the vehicle....a 2001 325I w/ Steptronic auto transmission. Approx. 4,000 miles.
Here is the issue......Today on my way to work, stop and go traffic was moving from 20 - 50 mph. My transmission was not in "Sports" mode.
As traffic lossened, I began to seeed up from around 30 mph and noticed my vehicle was not shifting into 5th gear. As I accelerated, my speed would increase and so would the rev's, but it would not shift into 5th. What I ended up doing was engaging the "Sports" mode and shifting it back into the regular mode at around 55 mph which caused 5th gear to engage.
Does anyone have an idea as to how this could happen? I have had NO problems at all. Is it a "fluke"? |
