Tranny vibrating in reverse
Hey guys, another 1990 BMW 535i problem.
The problems never stop with this hunk of junk.
When I put the automatic tranny into reverse, the car will vibrate abnormally, kind of like a vibrating pulse. Does anybody have any ideas?
Hopefully its a quick fix, because once the tranny has problems, its time to sell the hunk of junk or part the parts.
How much do you guys think I can get for this Black 1990 535i with 200K miles?
Thanks.

How big/expensive is the clutch pack to replace? Or time to trash the car.

Looks pretty complicated, since it involves dropping the tranny. I guess its time to trash this hunk of trash.

Everything that can go wrong with the car listed on bmwe34.net HAS broken and been replaced. Which I don't mind, but when the tranny starts having problems, its a sign to abandon ship, cause trannys = $$$.
Anyways, the sound/vibration in reverse just stopped, go figure. If it acts up again, this hunk of junk is up for sale, maybe $2k. $2K is a descent down payment on a more reliable car, like a Hyundai or Diahatsu or Kia.
