Brad-325i 2 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Hey guys seems today my bmr has decided to loose all oompf in 3rd gear, not to mention it wont get out of 3rd if i sit with my foot on the pedal it will rev up and redline and then the automatic transmission light comes on.... im not much of a pro with auto's as this is my 1st. any help would be awesome.. Im guessing its the clutch plate but with my luck am prob wrong :s Oh and if any1 has any idea of how much a new clutch plate will set me back that would be pretty choice too... Cheers, Brad Edited October 8, 2009 by Brad21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1264 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 sounds like its toast . very expensive to rebuild , better to just swap it out for a good working second hand unit or swap it out for a manual conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanG 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 I know of a ZF auto box out of a 325i e36 that might be going cheap.. Not sure if it would work with the current electrics in your car tho, you would have to check that out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Get a price off Ray @ HELLBM for a manual conversion. Probably cost you less than fixing the auto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjay 8 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 Agree with everything said. Rebuild cost me $2300. Manual conversion was less than that when I blew the trans for the 2nd time. Manual it, drive in drive out at HellBM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Is a manual conversion an option for an e34 540? ... oh to have a manual v8.Yes... for about the value of the car if you import the parts and pay for someone to do it for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
