[QUOTE="joegoi, post: 316356, member: 15083"] Hi, i have faced this horrible problem myself and results in changing a gearbox with the torque converter. The fluid must be changed regularly about 100-150k. The problem is we do not know what is the temperature inside the fluid but a GT1 will be able to. So after a long trip the fluid will be too hot and the density went to low (slips will occur) after long driving this will wears out everything. I myself have found a solution, which is to installed a old model (E36 auto trans cooler) into the E46 or even E90. For your info the E46 and also E90 does not have this cooler. (is only a very small one and connects to the water radiator for cooling) My thoughts. Joe [/QUOTE]
