Anyone familiar with the VVT having issues where it would cause the vehicle to miss fire and then cause the trans to slip and get stuck in one gear. BMW told the dealer to take off my valve covers and check the linkage on the valve train to verify the part number on the rocker assembly. If these part numbers don't fall into a specific sequence thay need to replace them. So according to BMW my trans Slip, Stick and Trans Fail Safe might be because of a miss fire related to the VVT
