[QUOTE="willy5, post: 352791, member: 2319"] Trans Prog Failure happened to my e34. Everytime I tekan and trash this comes on and g/box goes into limp mode. Switch off engine for a few minutes start again and was OK. The g/box is slipping but only in reverse gear, forward gears OK. The problem went away after I changed the battery, apparently the old battery could not hold the charge well, it showed up when it was load tested. I had no problems starting the car either. The other possible fault is also alternator. You may wanna check this out, it's alot cheaper than a g/box overhaul. [/QUOTE]
