I made a desperate call to my mechanic who agreed to see the car the following day.In the morning, I started the car and the light went out with the transmission operating as normal.This has happened a few times now, becoming more frequent. As soon as the light comes on, I pull over, switch off and wait a few minutes then switch back on and the light goes out.The problem seems to occur when slowing down, possibly during an upshift from 3-2 or 2-1(if this shift happens). There is a loud clunk from the rear of the car, the cog lights up and the box goes into limp mode. Most of the time it will reset if I switch off.The car had an Inspection 2 in August last year and I advised the dealer of the problem. All they said was that they would change the oil in the box and monitor the problem.I've always looked to this forum for advice and opinion from the fine people that contribute and have solved a great many problems in the past.I've noticed that a few E34 owners have has similar problems with gearboxes relating to faults with speed sensors and solenoids.On the last service sheet from BMW it states that there is an internal fault in gearbox with speed monitoring.Can anyone shed any light on this before my local BMW dealer takes all my money ?? Thanks for your help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
