    I've got a 4L30E rebuild guide. How can I share it with you?

    There is no range selector on the trans itself, it's only what is in the shift selector. The 4L30E on the Land rover or Range rover has it on the trans. On the BMW it is fully electronic.

    What problems are you having?

    Yeah your right, i spent all afternoon under the car trying to find it, even called my local BMW dealer, and they said it was on the transmission, turns out its under the shift knob
