Re: Cuty's 735 is needing help / advise

Sorry, I did not reply sooner. Just got busy with life and etc.

I'm sad to say that I do not know the cause of this pulsating effect. I don't even have any suggestions as to what could possibly check. Best leave this one to shogun on your other thread you have going.

Re: Cuty's 735 is needing help / advise

WOW!

I have been so side tracked that I haven't been to see Cupcake for a few days,
I am gearing up for another round of trying to figure this puzzle out.

On this trip I intend to pull the top cooling line from the transmission to the radiator
to check that the pump is working. (Removing line, starting vehicle and then put into gear)

Question: I am wanting to test the four solenoids in the transmission –
Transmission Control Unit Connector – is on the transmission left side above the oil pan

I have pulled and twisted to remove this connector so that I can run ohms tests,
What is the correct way to remove this connector ?

I was in the early stage of collecting diagnostic information when the pan was removed
And the fluid was changed – Should I remove the pan again to check the speed sensor,
Solenoids or anything else ?

I am really confused about the two pages below ----

Could someone explain where the connector pictured on page two is located ?

Is the TranX2000 – 25 way pin behind the diagnostic socket ?

The speed sensor test refers to points 5 & 6, where would these points be located ?

On page two it says that the green wire is case connector pin K and relates to the shift
solenoid 2 vehicle function and then it references pin 8 on the TransX 2000.

What is the test procedure described here? Connectivity between Pins 12 and 8 ?

Page one – Solenoid test –
Solenoid 1 – Mentions Gear 1 setting ( TranX ) and 1 Output channel –
Is this reference to Tranx an electronic testing devise ?


I usually do not have a problem following this kind of information, I am not sure
Why I look at these pages – thinking, huh?


Is the information clear or am I experiencing the same stuck in neutral malfunction as my transmission ?

Thanks in advance

Re: Cuty's 735 is needing help / advise

1992 BMW 735 iL update

I went to do more diagnostics on " Cupcake " and ended up in one our biggest rains of the season - I just cannot seem to get into a flow with this transmission related project, however I was able to remove the cooling line to the radiator in an attempt to make sure the internal pump was working and OMG, I started the engine, stepped out of the car to look and fluid was everywhere - I had not put the car into gear as of yet -

Fortunately I had read where someone else had done the same and had created a large mess, so I had layered the are with plastic and was able to slide the mess out from under the car and apply fresh plastic and hose the engine down -


Sure appeared to me that the pump was working fine -

The cleanup was done in a down pour - Soaking wet - Stopped -


I am wanting to test the four solenoids in the transmission –
Transmission Control Unit Connector – is on the transmission left side above the oil pan

I have pulled and twisted - What is the correct way to disconnect ???
This appears to me to be the connector pictured on my page three below -


I am still confused of the location of the connector pictured on my page two -
I would imagine that to many of you this page is clear as day, I am experience
blonde-gities on this one - Any input that could clear this connector up for me ???

I very well may have to take Cupcake to a shop - I really hate being defeated -
I pride myself for being a do'er -

Re: Cuty's 735 is needing help / advise

Well, the bright side to take it to a shop is you won't have to worry about getting wet and working out in the rain... :P That and the time you spend trying to figure it out sometimes is money well spent to get it fixed sooner.

Keep with it. You'll figure it out soon.

LincolnMaster80,

I agree on all accounts

Once I decide that I am going to figure something out, I am slow to give it up -

Your help and insights have been very much appreciated.
