Transmission Leak from Selector Rod
I have 91 525ia M50 engine with A4S 310R automatic transmission. I found a leak from the selector rod area. See the link below:

I suspect the shaft seal is bad (number #2 in the figure). Does anyone know how to replace it? Do I need to drain the fluid and remove the pan? Any easy way to fix it?
Thanks,
Jerry

That shaft goes deep into the transmission. Give these guys a call:
Bavarian Autosports
602-254-7380
Ask for Andrew or Ray. Andrew is the owner. They rebuilt my tranny a couple of years ago and they did a good job. I have the exact same car as you. They are the best, most honest and knowledgable and helpful shop around for BMW's. I've been screwed by most other BMW shops in Phoenix.
These guys know more about BMW's than any shop I've run across.
Good luck.
