When braking, from 2nd to 1st 'clunk' and a short push.
When accelerating from 1st to 2nd 'clunk' and a short push. Rest shifting up goes smoothly, effortlessly, not a problem.

I am scared my tranny is due for some costly repairs or is this normal for a 1997 E34 530i V8 with 85000 Kilometres on the clock?

Bought SLICK 50 ANNUAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TREATMENT. Any good?

Thanks you all!

Bart.

Oh, another thing--the radio BECKER how to reset, it doesn't play asking me for the code which i don't have because i bought off a dealer secondhand. Also what is the default BECKER factory code?? tks
