325i Wont go in gear

Jan 10, 2007 7 Replies

I backed through my driveway and spun around to pull out. Changed from R to D (drive) and the car stoped moving altogether. No reverse or forward. It is a little cold here - Nj (40deg) but after warming up the car still will not go into drive. The transmission has been replaced and the fluid level is good.



Any thoughts?



TIA!!! Lance


Yes- I hope the replacement transmission is still under warranty.

Good grief, Lance, why did you move to NJ! From WA?

Total failure of drive can be the torque convertor - was that replaced at the same time as the transmission?

Of course it might be another part of the drive chain.

Folks!

Thanks for the feedback / suggestions.

So Lance,

What did the problem turn out to be?

Cheers, Bob

My bud is checking this out next week. He's the mechanic I bought the car from 2 yrs ago. He serviced the car for years for the original owner and he replaced the first transmission so that should help.

I'll post when the car is fixed.
