Transmission problems and power loss on BMW x5 Diesel

Hello everyone, I own a 2002 BMW X5 with a diesel engine and 348,460 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing several problems with my car: the gearbox slips or changes gears irregularly, there's a loss of engine power, and the automatic gearbox shifting behavior is unreliable. Furthermore, the automatic gearbox doesn't shift gears as usual. My main problem is that to shift from first to second or the next gear, the RPMs go up to 4000 rpm, and sometimes beyond, accompanied by a noise as if the car is lacking air. Has anyone ever encountered this type of problem or have any advice on how to solve it? Thanks in advance for your help!

A 2002 BMW X5 with a diesel engine is experiencing transmission problems, including slipping gears, irregular shifting, and power loss. The RPMs rise excessively when shifting from first to second gear, accompanied by a noise suggesting air intake issues. A suggested solution is to check the transmission fluid level and condition, as low or dirty fluid can cause these symptoms.

Start by checking the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause slipping and irregular shifting. Make sure the fluid is at the correct level and has a clear, reddish color. If it's low or dirty, consider having it changed. Let us know if this helps or if you have any further questions!
