1995 BMW-325I Tranny Problem
OK, Here's the issue... maybe someone has some advise.
I have a 1995 325i with 143K. Engine runs great. Looks great. But the automatic Transmission is having some problems. First of all, if I drive in 3rd, you'd never know there was any problem. But, if I drive in "D" I get really hard shifts.... Almost feels like I'm being rear-ended or something. It's really bad. Anyway, some other symptoms include: (intermittent) * Failure to shift (it will go all the way to redline) * Failure to start out in 1st at stop lights * Shifts from 1st to 3rd bypassing 2nd. These things happen sometimes, then other times it runs perfectly. But the hard shifting is almost always there. I had the fluid checked and changed yesterday thinking that might help, but the problem still exists. Like I said though, if I drive it in 3rd, It runs perfectly. Any suggestions? The "trans guy" said I needed a new one, but in reading posts from this forum, that may not necessarily be the case. Thanks for your wisdom.

Re: 1995 BMW-325I Tranny Problem
almost everthing to do with shifting is electronic, your best bet is to take it to a good BMW dealer.
It may not have anything to do with the trans itself. |
