Apparently you have not heard of the fragile ZF trannies made around that time. Google "BMW no reverse". The ZF's broke much more catastrophically and much earlier. I'm lucky to have the GM in my car. I really don't consider a solenoid going bad after 140,000 such a terrible thing. I'd prefer it didn't, of course, but things on cars do break, from time to time. |
