Have your pressures and hoses looked at. Might be low oil or low pump pressure, or clutch packs.

Either way - donen't sound too good i'm afraid.... time to sell?? or fork out for tranny out job??

the forward clutch pack it a combination of about 6 or 7, 1mm steel disc's. depends on who you go to to get the job done should cost about 3-4

i have a M20 auto gearbox for you if you want to buy it.

i talk to a guy at BMWorkshop he told me it will be up $2000 to fix. but it might just be $1200 he needs to look at so im taking it to him on friday.

i will sell you the gearbox for 200, and put it in for you for a 40oz
