[QUOTE="smike, post: 612689, member: 8115"] Trans light comes on. Well not to worry guys. I had this problem and end up spending on the gear box. Well the truth is, under the gear knob there is an electronic unit which failed due to wear and tear. First thing is get that check out first. Now you can do this at Blue Green Motor Werks on the side of federal highway, ask for Nathan. Or any BMW specialist shop dealing in old cars. Don't listen to them if they tell, that you need to overhaul the gearbox. After changing that unit, everything is back to normal. The unit cost including workmanship is about RM180.00 only, that was done 3 years ago. Now maybe little more. If after changing that unit, and the problem persists, than the gearbox needs to be overhaul. Hopefully that is not the problem. :cheers: [/QUOTE]
