Im not good with cars so i will try to explain as much as i understand <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The ATF has loss it viscosity, causing the gears to rub hard againts each other due to high friction, according to my grandfather who witness the dismantling, the gears wear damage which cause it to slipped.They replace the internals of the gearbox with new wheels and change a second hand valve body. The minor jerk during stop is caused by the 2nd hand valve body. If im not sastisfy, they can change it to a new one which will cost 7,500 compared to the 2nd hand unit at 3,500. Total cost of the repair was 8,600 with new gears and 2nd hand valve body.So the moral of the story is, despite what BMW claims, consistently change the ATF after 100,000 km (advice from the mechanic). Hope it helps.....</blockquote>
