Problem for BMW 1998 Z3 Roadster

Faulty torque lock up in 4th gear

By jcwalkup on Mar 12, 2009

" "

My 1997 automatic BMW z3 will not stay locked up in 4th gear going down the highway. The only time the transmission is locked up is under slight acceleration. After extended highway miles the check eng light illuminates indicating a torque lock up problem. Any ideas? Thanks Jim

- Where would you start? The transmission control module? $$$

I would say either transmission control module or the torque converter.
