Before all the "Auto-tragic" jokes start, I am looking for real advice.
My Wifes 86 325e is a near perfect car with th exepion of the trans, when I bought it 3 years ago I bought a trans from a member and had it thrown in, I had all the seals and filters etc changed and my wife fell in love with her first e30.
If you get on it hard it will downshift and bang on the limiter until you lift off the gas. It's done this for 3 years, my wife does not redline the car so that is a minor issue, the bigger issue is that it's slow to up shift lately, you have to let off the gas to get it to shift, I have adjusted the Bowsun cable with no improvement.
My wife is considering a new car if I can't find a resolution soon, losing a near perfect e30 is a crime.
Does anyone have any thoughts ? Again let's keep the auto jokes to a minimum, or another e30 is off to pasture. Lol
