Mador 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2010 Hey, On friday it started, now the car wont even move, its in drive but no matter how much u put ur foot down it just revs now, reverse gear is fine, and when you put it in and out of gear it loads up and will auto roll, On friday it was no-where near as bad, would only "Slip" to redline if u put ur foot down past about half throttle, Please help as this is my only car and getting to work will be hard! I wanna get it fixed though because I have put enough money into a new head and full rebuild already Car: 1990 E34 525i with M20 and Auto Trans. Thanks very much for future responses, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Its either very low on fluid or needs rebuilding...making it slip will only do more damage if its just a low fluid problem... might be too late for that now. Second hand trans might be a good option. Edited June 27, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mador 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah its only just hit 200k kms which people say is rebuild time? Thanks for the help too, I just wanted to make sure it was F'd before doing Manual conversion over something easy to fix Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
