[stevotheevo]

yes, same happened to me.

required a new box and torque converter

its possible you have only destroyed one or the other, but IMO its worth changing both.

[Security2U]

How much did it cost you for parts and labour.

[stevotheevo]

i got a second hand one from a company on the net, was about £200.

fitted it with help from a friend, took 5 hours.

problem solved though mate.

Congratulations, you've buggered your autobox. You might consider treating your next car with more respect....

[tha_lick]

speak to AndyP. . . i done the same thing in a 320i my dad had. he gave me a new box for less than a round at the pub and i got it fitted for £100 and needed oil that came to about £25.

these cars are old so its expected, dont get too cut up about it feller, your car will be in health in no time. just sort your spelling and punctuality out though.

You mean the almighty torque of a 1.8 killed a slushbox?

No, the stored energy in a spinning torque convertor did!

just put a manual box in it and be done with it!!
