Pleeease listen and try to give some feedback.
94 318i auto 92,000
For background, at about 87,000 miles I had my trans rebuilt and running fine. On Friday I went surfing and was heading home on the freeway when I felt a slip and saw the check engine and transmission lights on. I imediatley noticed a lost of power and could not get beyond 3500rpm. I belive the transmission was locked in 3rd gear. So I pulled over and tried resting the car and resetting the battery with no success.
Tuesday the shop that rebuilt my transmission ran some computer test and found a faulty TPS sensor. After changing it and resetting the computer the car ran through all its gears. Of course it took a while for the computer to re-learn parameters. Now: my car hesitates when shifting from reverse to drive (3 mississippi seconds), slips or jolts when around bends shifting from 2-3, and delays in nuetral to 1st gear when making abrubt complete stops.
The shop says sounds like low ATF fluid but it was running perfectly fine before this incident. Something doesn't seem right. Any ideas or suggestions.
HEEEEEEEELP!!!!!
