Bmw auto gearbox problems?

do the e39 autobox fail?

Answers:
rarely.. its bulletproof. whats it not doing? (pulling like a steam engine) check each and every hose and pipe, fromt he engine to the ECU.

i bought a 5, and although itd just been rebuilt it ran ok, but wouldnt pull accellerate or do much over 40mph..so i bought it, and spent six days searching, rerouting and repairing loose hoses and tubes..

if all the sensors arent plugged in, teh computer goes a bit daft.

only other thing is torque converter fluid level.it must be checked with the engine running, and in drive, after youve cone pnrd123..back up the box and into drive. it fills all the pathways in the torque converter and give you an acurate reading.

hope this helps
maybe but they where sometimes sticky
