Well the used tranny is trashed now too. I still have the old one so I think I will rebuild it myself per Winfred's documentary on tranny rebuilds. It should be fun.
Anyone have a vendor that may sell the rebuild kits? BMA couldn't help me.

In the same manner. It is starting to slip in 1st gear like it is losing the clutch in a 5speed manual. I am going to rebuild the old one then switch it and rebuild the used one and sell it. Nothing like getting some money out of it. I just cant get a listing for a reputable shop to sell me a banner rebuild kit.

Has your son been driving it?

Yup, he is driving it daily. I would like to get it set for a month and sell it and give him a truck or a maxima. Very reliable and I would have my weekends back
My daughter drives a 97 maxima and the thing is bullet proof but I would assume that is related to her foot weight.
In hindsight, I made a mistake when I was bolting on the tranny and the splines werent right on the torque converter and I think it damaged the seals on the output shaft? Is this possible?
well the seals and the clutch pack is about $230 bones but the pain in the ass is dropping it i just did it on my 90535i ..as for your milage that is about when they start then trans progran pops up and only reverse ..its not all your kids fault but any way the steel seals fail and bmw made an update on it to use teflon seals instead it will take you an hour max to do the nesisary modifications the time consumer is the trans if you dont have a lift get some good jack stands and get the car up as high as you cani would not get a new trans (used) just go thru the one you have beacuse 1st and 2nd clutch packs are smoked and those seals and questions just message me i can guide you thru it
you can email me too Tilewithstyle@sbcglobal.net i can give you a guy here in green bay wi you pay he mails to you easy
Thanks for the tips, I have switched the trannies already once. I want to rebuild the original one but I am curious if I should get the full overhaul set with all the discs or just the front seals and the forward discs?
I also went with the company Winfred spoke of. They have a site it is www.Axiom.com
I set up a account and now can shop online.
