You do what the rest of us do when we have a car problem. you grab a nice beverage, and set aside a few hours to filter through website after website until you reach a logical conclusion as to what your problem is and perform the appropriate repair. That's how it's done in DIY land.

Or, you drop your car off and pay someone. That's the quick and easy way, but it costs money. Pick your poison.

That's the harsh reality of owning 13 year old BMW with a gearbox problem. good luck with your car.

KyleB you are tickling me. I don't want to DIY just tell me and after can you come and do it too because I don't know how to do it. LOL. But seriously...

OP- it's easier than you think finding things on the site. Either go to the DIY section or use the search engine to search transmission.
