Are you 100% sure its the gearbox? Unusual for these boxes to rattle before failing, and a reservoir under the bonnet? NEVER seen one on a BMW Automatic. Do you mean the reservoir with ATF fluid only on the screw cap, if so that's the PAS reservoir.…

If it was the torque converter it would affect the drive. Sourcing a used tranny from the likes of F.A.B. would probably be cheaper than a rebuild. Damn shame as I have one for a smaller E38... Have you had it in drive under a ramp so you can rule o…

Not sure what the noise could be but as far as lifetime oil is concerned, I am not a believer. I am changing my box and diff oils next week. Could be worth a transmission service.

Easyish to replace as long as you have the tool to press them in and out, or you can make one, however it needs to different sizes as it is pushed out one way and pushed in the opposite way. I did mine, however I did buy the tool from ebay to do it,…

Hi, Yep sounds right. Nope cheap parts are just that cheap copies, not worth the trouble they will cause you. Your car is nearly 2 ton in weight, you dont want to put cheap parts on your suspension! They will wear out a lot faster than genuine or p…

Fan motor anyone? 7 Replies

I don't suppose anyone has an auxiliary fan motor for a 2000 E38 do they. Needs to be the last type with the three pin connector and no resistor packs.
