Jason, I'm thinking of a remap for a few more horses but wondered what the impact would be on my gearbox.
E53 30d auto. Also what sort of money would I be looking at to get it done.

Not heard of many if any gearbox troubles due to a re-map alone... especially as i'm sure Jason works within safe tolerances to maintain longevity of the drivetrain?

+1 there is no evidence to support that the remap will do any harm to the gearbox.This has been discused several times before and i can't think of anyone on here or elsewhere who has had a remap and then had the gearbox go on them!
If anything i'm guessing it would be better as there is a smoother delivery of power and a much better drive so you aren't 'flooring' it as much and putting extra strain on the transfer box etc.
just my thoughts and i am no gearbox specialist but since having my remap way back the car only seems better :driving: and also safer to drive :D

I have heard that pre-facelift E53's with the older auto gearbox (5sp instead 6sp?) are
susceptible , but that can even happen with standard power/torque , it was a weak 'box .

Jason also mentioned it to me when I asked him for advice on buying an X5 (before I'd
heard of this forum)

Having said that , I only know of one owner who has a replacement 'box , that was after
@ 75,000 kms

the problem with these early gear boxes was the 1st input shaft cage breaking as there was not enough metal to strengthen
where the main circlip

the remap will not harm the gear box

we run over 500bhp with 576 lb/ft through our gear box at the santapod

Is there much difference between the 6 speed auto gearbox of the E53 and E70?

does the e70's come with flappy paddles at all?

what's the power increase on facelift e53 3.0d?

What do you mean? Power increase of the E53 Facelift from the E53 Pre-Facelift or E70?

If I remember correctly , it's between 255-265 bhp depending on who's programme is used , but
I'm sure Jason will be along soon to give the exact answer .
