[QUOTE="gst, post: 458653, member: 8028"] Hello to all the Masters, i own a E39 year 2001. For a while now, my car feels a little jerky like engine mistimed when it climbs hill or when it tries accelerating back after negotiating a corner n slowing down. Foreman has donesome trial n error things which causes me quite a sum. 1) looking at the gearbox, servicing it, change oil and housing connectors. 2) changing long shaft. 3) changing rear lower n upper arm which he claims may be givng way due to old age. Lately, he diagnosed it as faulty TORQUE CONVERTOR. He changed a re-cond one which turns out to be even worse than its original one but the symptom is exactly the same. I could be wrong but of all he has done, i felt this significantly affects the car n hopes that this is the real problem. If it is, what can i do? 1. Can it be repaired? 2. Should a another re-cond one be sourced? 3. Should a new one be bought? Thanking the Masters out there in anticipation if anyone can offer some advice and the cost of ending this nightmare. thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
