if you want to keep the car for a long time, rebuild it. if you don't then just get another from a junk yard.

Do not sell it to a junkyard fix it out sell it to someone who will setas are getting rarer by the day.

m50 swap with 5spd. great time to do it.

1988 325 automatic transmission
 

To bad I just took my auto out for a 5 speed swap

32e transmission working!
 

$65 plus 60 day warranty, transmission around $200 in expenses; mechanic, oil, $140 meals personal expenses, total aprox 400 and its working again thank you all for your support in not sending it to the junkyard...

what was specifically wrong with it? can you describe what was happening? and why it was dead?

Yes, do tell what was fixed.

yes, wanted to know what was fixed.

$65 and 60 day warranty, must be electrical. im gunna guess the pump went bad

transmission working
 

I went to a San Diego, Ca junkyard two hours away from Calexico, CA bought it replaced it and working fine after almost two months, I might decide to start looking for another one since it is the second transmission in around 4 years plus the original one to fix it I asked on both sides of the border USA and Mexico and wanted between 300 and 1200 way too much the 1000 I paid 6-7 years ago.

What was wrong?
 

It was working on reverse but any gear forward, so finding an used one at a bargain price $65 plus expenses for labor, oil, gas was an awesome deal.

hey i kinda have that same problem had to replace my flywheel trans worked for three days the while on the hwy lost all fwd power i have reverse just wont go fwd is it really dead or does it have belts like the e36
