I would have to say, you are do for a rebuild for the transmission. Could be the valve body also. You may need both.

You may just want to replace the cluster. The back of the cluster is actually a circuit board, so replacing it, even with a salvage yard cluster, will more than likely fix your issue. Not too hard to replace, either, as long as you are patient!!

Hi Callie, as I don't know your vehicle as such, by rule of thumb there is a number of large fuses that are approx. 15mm square right next to the battery, they are in the same location as the relays, some push in but most in this block bolt in because they are such hi capacity, between 40 amp to 160 amp these supply power to the relays, actually everything in the car go through these fuses

The injectors have constant voltage to them with key on. It is a fused circuit. The computer internally grounds the injector ground wire to cause injector circuit on- to pulse the injector, and fuel is then sprayed out. It is a separate circuit from the pump circuit.

Check the oil level in the transmission. Check that it is cherry red and not dark brown indicating internal failure. Have a pressure test done on the transmission . have a clutch and brake band adjustment done. change filter in the transmission.

My car starts fine. Goes into reverse drive but starts off in 3rd so if anyone knows whats going on here let me no my e-mail is [email protected] also my dash displays break light circuit.

I would try hooking up another speaker, not from the car to check the audio output of the Sony.

The warning for the transmission program indicates an issue with the transmission. Usually it is due to mechanical problems, but sometimes it can be due to an electrical issue. I recommend having the vehicle scanned and diagnosed.

Michael Moore? Woot, I get to talk to a celebrity!Sorry, couldn't help myself, falling over.You add fluid through the dipstick tube. Use a small funnel. Don't overfill. Check level with engine at normal operating temperature, idling, in park, and on level surface.Good luck.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. First I disconnected the hateful and that reset it for a few months but ended up rebuilding my grant

false

it is on the drivers side of the engine right where the engine and transmission meet.

Yes you do have to remove the intake, there is a video of this on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I_pUqKvKQc

Hi, what you feel is your anti-lock brake actuator pumping the brakes. This is probably due to dirty/dusty or improperly adjusted brake shoes causing the rear brakes to lock. It is also possible that you have a leak in one or both rear brake cylinders. Have your rear brakes checked, cleaned, and adjusted. If you would like to do it yourself, I can provide instructions--just let me know.

I had that happen with an Acura. The dealer can give you that info...but...some of them charge a fee for the info.

You will have to take that serial number to a BMW dealer. They may ask for proof of ownership.
If they want to charge you for looking this up, try another dealer, but the service writer should be able to look it up in about one minute given your serial number.

If there is a dipstick, add the proper fluid to the dipstick fillter tube. If there is no dipstick, there are drain plugs on the side that will have to be removed to check the level, at normal operating temperature.

Maybe check autozone.com for further information. There are two brands of transmission used in the BMWs of that era. ZF and GM transmissions. There are also a number of types of transmission used in the BMW 525i vehicles.

Check online for a service bulletin regarding the automatic transmission used in your vehicle, or check with the dealer.

I found a service bulletin that's in black and white, but it was not pastable to the fixya.com website.
Sorry, about that.

Good luck on finding a solution to adding transmission fluid to your 1992 BMW 525i vehicle.
