Hi, I have a 91 735 IL. The car will go in Reverse but not drive or any other gear, when in park the lights on the gearshift come on but when I shift to any other gear they cut off. I bought the car off a guy who's had it sitting for a while and who's health wouldn't allow him the energy to fix it. Im wondering if it could be that I need a new transmission or maybe just change the filter and tune it up, or could it be that the lights are cutting off because there is no link between the transmission and the computer in the car ( my mechanic friend told me all of this lol). Im a novice at this and we would love any ideas or knowledge that you may have on this particular situation. thank you
Ask on the E32 forum, we are discussing some similar cases there. First of all check the transmission fluid level , then change fluid and filter, check for larger material on the magnet in the trans pan, check if the fluid smells burnt.
