Dear colleaguesI am basically new to this side and please help coz I have doubts and queries regarding with my automatic transmission gearbox. I am driving E46 318i 2.0 (new facelift) for the past 4 years. For your info, last 2 months I've changed my N42 engine to a recond N42 engine.
After changing it, I saw (!) sign at my gearbox and it confirmed its my gearbox faulty. According to the mechanic, I need to change my gearbox as well and it cost me around 6K. I asked 2nd opinion with another mechanic and he said I need to come out with 8K to overhaul the gearbox. Some says that if (!) appears, that means my automatic transmission has converted to 'safe mode' (only up to 3rd gear is available) but I still can drive it till the 5th gear! (although its not so smooth - it jerk sometimes when the gear is changed).
Some says if that the case, maybe the wiring caused it. (it may happened when the 1st mechanic changed the engine) Seriously, I do not know what really caused it and do not know what to do!!! I am afraid I will take a wrong move and will cause me lots of money. If somebody out there knows how to handle this...PLS HELP by replying this mail or leave your contact number in order for me to call you directly. Its better for me to call and discuss.
Thanx
