    Posted: 24-January-2006 at 17:38

Hi Folks,

KBannon just informed me from the UK site that this one existed. I have been looking and psoting on the UK site for a few months as I have moved over to BMW ownership.

Anyway can anyone recomend a tranny shop in Dublin to service my Auto.

Many thanks

Mick.

Out of curiosity, whats wrong with your gearbox?

Killian,

Not much wrong with the box, But I just think it could be smoother. Some people say get it serviced (Hydolic oil and filters) just in case.

Thanks

Mick

Me! I told him to get his autobox serviced!

If you fancy a trip over the water to Glasgow, I can point you in the direction of a good tranny shop!

Hi Mick

I'd recommend Fergus Conway of Conway Transmissions in Walkinstown. He's been there for years and has a great reputation in the trade, particularly BMW, Merc, Jag Auto boxes.

Good luck.

Mick - ring Al in accarsales.com, or pm him on here AC AL is his handle, he'll sort you out. Alan has a gearbox specialist who'll do it, no problem. I'm getting mine done soon for the same reason as you.

As MattE will testify from his own experiences, it could cost up to £4,000 for a new autobox!

Best of luck with it.

Hmm very nice! 

I saw this listed under the most recent posts and there was me thinking there was some more automatic transmission questions to be answered before I start my work.

Nice way to start the day.
