First; before posting this question I searched a lot, but without luck, earlier discussed transmission problems seems that have different symptoms.
Hi All,
I joined BF quite a while, but never really post that much. I'm from Amsterdam (The Netherlands), and bought myself an ’99 740i (M62) two months ago. Really like the car, expect for some issues I have with the transmission.
Basically I have two problems, most likely related:
-An rattle/ticking noise coming from the underside/middle of the car. (more precise; I think from the transmission/torque converter)
-And even more annoying, When I switch between Reverse and Drive, I need to wait a few seconds before it selects a gear. When I hit the throttle too early, it will abrupt “falls into the gear” which gives quite an shock.
Sometimes this also happens when I am driving in the city, and it stays in drive. (Not that often, sometimes). Especially when I am slowing down for a traffic light and reaccelerate before the car is standing still.
I have changed my oil and oil filter (5000 km ago), didn’t really help. (although I have the idea it is slightly better, but I am not sure. I did the oil change when I owned the car less than an week).
Does anybody have an idea or suggestions. All comments are very much appreciated!
