Consumer Description

2000 BMW 323I, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, REVERSE JUST STOPPED WORKING, I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON 2000 BMW WITH NO REVERSE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND OVER $5000 TO REPAIR IT. THE TRANSMISSION IS A 5L40E MANUFACTURED BY GM FOR BMW. THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE REVERSE CLUTCH HOUSING APPARENTLY IT IS MACHINED TO THIN FOR A SNAP RING GROOVE AND IT EVENTUALLY BREAKS. THE NEW CLUTCH HOUSING IS MODIFIED TO BE THICKER SO SOMEONE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT BMW REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ENGINEERING FAILURE. *TR
