If you've never replaced the timing belt or chain,That would be my first thing I'd check is the Timing belt or chai, just aline the timing marks on crankshaft and then look at the position on the distributor to see if it's pointed in the #1 firing position .

The wiper relay is a common cause of this failure. It is not very expensive and easy to replace. Search Google to find a replacement and instructions. Use these terms: e39 wiper relay

test the switch appears to be working doesnt mean its working and or properly aligned

a lot of new cars have a pressure solenoid switch in them that will make car shift hard when they become defective plus also the engine computer controls when your car shifts gears as well. have it hooked up to scanner to check for any default codes .if it is the seloniod it will have a code stored for it a well but also check you transmission fluid to make sure it is not in need of fluid a well. hope this helps thanks 10 zacks
