Hello kind people! My e36 has some problem with its gear box, problem is when i put it into 'D' drive or reverse, it takes a while for the car to actually get into gear and move.. So theres a gap or idling when i put into any gear, when its in motion, when i step onto the gas.. After a while it likes to slip out of gear.. And then back at into gear.. This happens while driving!, and also the car likes to shutdown while driving sometimes ( this was actually the first problem i encounter before the gear problem) but it only happens sometimes.. And i think it has sumthin to do with the battery or sumthin.. I still havent check it out yet.. The MAIN thing is i need to know where is the best garage to send my e36 to, and the most affordable of course no swindling etc. coz im a freelance designer, always busy but no money. Hehe seriously, where can i send my e36 to? And i would be best if the workshop/garage is near kuala lumpur area. Thank you!
Need help! Asap! My e36 has problems!!

Bone, Sounds like Auto gear box issue. but before that
1) when was the last time you change the gearbox oil?
2) what is the model of your e36 and is it local made or imported model?
3) Do you know the model of your gearbox?
Normally from what you describe generally it sounds like an issue with the torque convertor.
But all these can only be confirm when the gearbox is out.
If your e36 is local, it should be running the GM gearbox. A ball park figure for the repair kit is around the range of 2k++
If you looking around KL area, there are a few mechanics which Otais go to
(in no particular order)
1) WP Auto (cheras) (albert)
2) BM World (Ah Wai) (Cheras)
Both of these are very reputable and if you see their workshop you will understand why.
Cheers

Normally under pop the hood of the car and somewhere in the engine bay will have markers and stickers. if you see Japanese words then its from Japan. If you see Malaysia or something related to Malaysia then its local unit. else normally its sg or uk model
