BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) picked up a 94 540i m60 4L v8 car . has a problem with the auto( of corse) its locked up . can push the car forward but not backwards . no drive . last owner said it was going into limp mode now and then then finally locked up when pulling into his driveway. been sitting for over a year now . i have a spare trans here from a 95 e38 740i m60 4L . will this work in it . the only difference i can see is that the e38 runs cooler lines up to the front into a trans cooler . where as the e34 uses a heatexchanger system under the trans . so can the heat exchanger system be fitted to the e38 trans and will it all work with the electrics etc in the e34 . both cars have the same auto and sport mode button . any help would be appreciated Edited December 15, 2009 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
