I hope to never have to do that again. You should start to call junkyards for this tranny from a wrecked car. I got mine $900 delivered. Make sure you change out the filter and oil too with ESSO or whatever they recommend now. Its probably the only course you have besides getting a brand new tranny or a rebuilt. Which BTW were running 2.5k-3k 3 yrs ago when I had this done on my 740i.
Thanks for your experience. Not sure if your 740i shared a similar trany as the 4.6is or your mileage at the time. I'm weighing several options at this point but having it monitored by the indy for the correct diagnosis and it seems we may replace the torque converter.
