A series of unfortunate events was bestowed upon me 2 days ago.event 1it started out in the wee hrs of Wed morning. My engine stalled in the middle of the road and the gear light indicator flashed. then the car started jerking and eventually stalled whenever i approached a traffic light. Nevertheless i managed to drive home.event 2through my utter ignorance and stupidity, instead of calling for a towing service....i decided to drive to the w/shop which was not that far away. It jerked and stalled all the way to the first traffic light.....then come as i was nearing the second light.....it suddenly stalled and the dreaded sound was heard ...crash ...boom and bang. A black Honda accord had rammed into my baby's back side. event 3So..my baby had to be towed. through all the confusion....i actually forget to take the keys of the inginition...so the steering was free and as it was being towed...the car swerve onto the divider, narrowingly missing a tree stump. today...my head is aching....my body is aching. the car is at the hospital....and I guess the bumper and needs to changed....as for the gear light indicator....I truly fear the worst. How much does an automatic transmission gearbox cost for an E36 318i?
 
see if it can be overhauled. Should be in the RM3K-RM4K region, including a secondhand valvebody.

Hang in there bro.... just make sure that only the car is in the hospital and not the owner.
 
i'm sorry to hear that, but like affan said, ......... just make sure that only the car is in the hospital and not the owner.
 
Sounds like a series of good events to me....
Tell insurance company the guy running into your back cause the gearbox to break because pushed Diff into gearbox, then tell the insurance company, no Auto gearbox so need to put in Manual one :p
 
ya...since someone bang your car...is it possible to fix your auto gearbox behalf of their insurance instead of just the bumper?......i hope u did not say that much in your report....
btw...overhauled is 3k to 4k ++ ..... import a brand new one is 10k plus(good luck)
 
sometimes the gear light come on doesnt mean your gearbox having problem, it could be the engine gone into safety mode due to some other machanical problems.
