dextron 2 or 3 dont really matter in those steering systems, even type F is OK. Their all backwards compatible.
Also, her reverse gear engages (Automatic) but when she gives gas, it revs but does no accelerate... she has to reverse at idle. Torque converter? no idea... auto trans sucks.
Trans filter is partially clogged ill bet, change it out and then see if it's better. A lot cheaper to do than a BMW trans. Reverse usually slips first because it uses 2 passages to engage the forwards clutch where drive (1,2,3, overdrive) uses one passage.
