I have a 1998 Bmw 740il and all of the sudden im getting a transmission problem. This vehicle will shift and run thru all gears as it should. But when you take of it stubbles like its confused on which gear. and sends it to a failsafe mode. anyone ever had this problem ...

    have you checked your TPS on the throttle body if it is out of adjustment or failing it will send the transmission computer the wrong signals. This doesnt sound like a transmission problem . it sounds more of an electrical issue

SOURCE: 1998 bmw 740il will not start even with new a battery

If you checked all the fuses try putting the car in neutral sometimes the shifter gets misadjusted and wont start till the car is completely in park.If not check for a lose wire to the starter.If the car has an after market alarm you will have to turn it off before starting there should be a little buuton under the drivers dash or kick panel.GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: I have 1998 bmw 528i, the problem is when the ASC

Check to see if your brake pads and rotors are in good condition. Or if you have replaced the pads yourself and have not reset the wheel sensors this would cause the ABS Antilock Brake System light and the ASC Automatic Stability Control light to stay on as the ASC uses the ABS brakes with computer assistance to control the traction of the car if not fixed it can affect your rev limiter and slow performance

check battery cables.make sure they are not loose are or corroded.if battery cables okay.problem could be faulty starter - electronic immobilizer control - ignition switch + check its fuse first.if you disconnect battery cables besure to turn off radio so you wont lose code.

H3 mod 2007 this vehicle suddenly not shifting reverse gear what problem sir

If your 2007 H3 Hummer suddenly stopped shifting into reverse gear, there could be several potential causes. Some common causes of a sudden loss of reverse gear include a failed reverse gear band, a damaged valve body, or a failed reverse gear solenoid. Additionally, low transmission fluid levels, a clogged transmission filter, or a damaged transmission pan gasket could also prevent the vehicle from shifting into reverse. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue to determine the exact cause and provide the necessary repairs. They may need to perform diagnostic tests or inspect the transmission to pinpoint the issue.

BMW E46 ZF 5HP19 trouble code P1732 P0733 P0734. My car only has 110K miles, transmission fluid has just replaced. It was dark, dirty, not burned, has some sludge but no metal shavings. After driving for...

Yes, this could be the shift solenoid. Was the transmission filter changed at the same time as the fluid? Dirt in the system can affect some of the transmission sensors tripping Trouble codes. I cannot be sure what the P1732 code is as some codes can be very vehicle specific but it appears to refer to the transmission or on of it's sensors.

P0733 - Gear 3 Incorrect Ratio.
P0734 - Gear 4 Incorrect Ratio.

My 1995 bmw 740il wont shift into manual drive. im not sure what gear cars in but the trans isnt shifting. both of the cables to the throttle is broken i discovered could that be the problem and what

Service the transmission for the shifting issue. However going from auto to manual is an electrical switch. Car wont shift till car is at high enough rpm level.

Transmission solenoid

neither
the torque converter clutch solenoid / servo will not give any drive action if faulty
the transmission if operating fine in all gears with no noises will not need replacing
save money by going to an accredited transmission specialist shop and have the fault codes read first then replace the problem sensor , servo or solenoid

http://www.e38.org/1997Manual-7Series.pdf

Page 63. It seems as though you have your transmission in Manual Program. Normal driving should use Adaptive program.

Or, your transmission is slipping.

Where do u put transmission fluid in a bmw 740il 2001

Here is the procedure:

The transmission temperature must be between 86° to 130° F (30° to 55° C) before checking With engine running, switch on AC While holding vehicle with brakes, place transmission into each gear briefly With engine running and transmission in park, remove Fill/Check plug. If a small amount of oil runs out, fluid level is correct. If no oil runs out fluid level is low, add fluid as required through Fill/Check plug hole. When level is correct, reinstall Fill/Check plug and tighten to correct torque.
