I have a 1998 740i series and I was doing some in town driving. Suddenly the transmission seemed to jolt and then I received a "transmission failsafe prog" message on my dash panel. I've never had this problem before. Can some one tell me how much of a problem this is? The owners manual says it's the "transmission control module", as it might have a fault. Is this a costly problem? Or is it a larger transmission problem. Appreciate any help in understanding this issue.
