just had the atf changed for my e36 and it is really worht it.
now my tranmission runs so much better , less jerk and more responsive, smooth take up gear changes.
this is my second change - say round about after 60000km
did it at an normal garage - needed to show the mechanic how it is done
where the screws are.
its very easy once u know it
cost - $330 for the filter, gaskets and 7 litre of atf from bavarian auto pj
workmanship of $70
the old oil dranined out was not that dirty - however my transmission wasnt working that
smoothlynow when i punch the accelerator - it runs smoothly and gear changes are less noticeable.
very worht it.
recommended to all forummners using auto transmission.
do note - take it to a xpert if u dont know how it is done
or if u know the process - just google online. keep a watchful eye
u don wanna end up getting more trouble if the mechanic screws up ;p
