94 540i transmission flush problems
Went to get my fluid flushed today at the auto shop next to where I got my radiator changed. (I have heard nothing but good about them) They called 30 mins after and said that they cannot even flush the trans (because the trans is not set up to do so?) and that no one in town has the filter in stock. He said there's no dipstick either, just a drain plug. He also said that theres plenty of fluid in there, but that it is a really nasty black and needs definate changing. I asked if they used Dexron III and he said yes.
I have to go on a 4 hr trip tomorrow and I really want this trans problem at least diagnosed before I went so I went to another mechanic (Towery & Saunders) that claims they have the *best* flushing system availiable. I got another call shortly after saying that they cant do it either. Trans is a 5HP30.
Does this sound right to you guys?
The first place said they would change the fluid as soon as they get a filter kit in next week..
Thanks guys, as always.
...Once I get this transmission worked out, theres gonna be a nice black/black 540i for sale. G'dammit.
