e36 Auto Shift 3rd gear or other issue?

[Guest BimmerzE36]

Have anyone here faced that issue where sometimes the bimmer keeps reeving and wont go outta 2nd or 3rd gear? but when you put it to neutral and back at gear (D) it works?

I have also faced that "engine check light" 3rd gear lock down problem a few times. Anyone have any tips or suggestions? greatly appreciated.

hey are the prices for manual gearbox or an auto? I hope its not the whole gearbox since it shifts perfectly, seems more like some electronic problem ...

could just be the valve body or tcu (transmition control unit)

have it scanned might give the code for either fault it could save you some pennies, if not then go for a replacement box

hope that helps
