Hey well I joined this forum just to find this out
My 535i (88 Private Import Germany) transmision just **** it self, I done some searching and found a couple of possible causes but don't have the time patients or tools to deal with it myself, I was wondering if anyone could refer me to a good tranny man in Brisbane Australia. It didn't even go into the crap 3rd gear mode just nothing off the light much to the dissapointment of the 40 cars behind me at the lights, Let it cool down and drove only 3k's (my driveway) before I lost all drive again, works after turning it off but not for long.
