Hi Ray, Do you have a jatco jr502e for an m50b25 engine? or could i just replace it with a zf5hp18 w/o replacing other stuff? thanks.. Tristan

Hi guyz, I have a question.. I have a 93 bmw 525i with an m50b25 engine and its, apparently, a jap imort so it comes with a JATCO 5-speed auto trans (JR502e) w/ a flare on 2-3 gear.. Im thinking about replacing it with another trans so here comes the question... If i am to replace it with a ZF 5hp18, would it be just a simple take-off-the-old-one-put-the-new-one-in thingy? or do i have to change some ECUs and other "computer stuff" that i dont know of.. So would you prefer to just replace it with a JATCO JR502e or a ZF 5hp18?...THANX Tristan PS I'm quite new to the bimmer scene so if im incorrect on codes, please correct me... =)

thanks guyz, that's what i thought.. ill purchase a spare trans as soon as i can and wait for the old trans to fail..lol =)naaah, might replace it sooner than that

Hi just bought a BMW 93 525i w/ m50b25.. of course, it also comes with the famous "jatco jerk" but i noticed there's a flare from 2-3 gear.. if u step on it, it flares for about 500 RPM max but u cant notice it when your driving smooth.. i know flares are always bad i was just thinking if it could just be because of lack of trans oil, could it be? coz i dont really know much about auto trans.. COULD THERE BE HOPE FOR MY TRANS?!? if not then im just gonna chuck another one in.. =)

is the autobox still available? =)

THREE THUMBS UP FOR THESE GUYZ!! REAL QUALITY PARTS FOR UR BIMMERS!! THANKS Gavin!!
