[QUOTE="jarance, post: 354311, member: 21"] My GB was back to normal after the repair. My problem was due to the failure of the aux pump seal. I heard that this is common problem with E46. On eht seal fail, all the atf oil would spilled out from the fail seal. The lack of transmission oil would cause the gear to not engage properly. During the dismantling of the GB, the torque converter sleeve was also found to be worn out. I have change that just to be on the safe side. BTW, when the sump of the GB was open, there was hardly any ATF left. When engage in "D" mode, the car could hardly moved until I accelerate to about 3000 rpm. Mind you, my mileage clock was about 100K km. What ever remain of the oil was quite black. Also found that the GB mounting was damaged. This may or may not have contributed to the failure. Now the GB is working well. [/QUOTE]
