e38 problem just crop up
Just after Jln Duta toll heard warning bell sound ...saw msg `TRANS FAIL SAFE PROG` appeared on the OBC.
More or less I can agak2 msg is something to do with transmission problem but don`t really feel any adverse
performance at that time ....pretend not serious just continue journey at average 160kmj . At Juru toll slowing down to 20 kmj
and passed through toll hse still not notice any differences. At tfc light approaching my hse, slowing down speed to stop.
When pressing pedal hard to floor ...car seems very heavy/lazy to move but slowly increase its speed and back to normal performance once
speed touching 100kmj. Stop engine and restart , msg still appear after short travelling and heavy again.

Which part need to change and its est. cost ?.
Note: Almost every screws and nuts have been touched except speedgear.
