Hi,
I have a bmw 325 auto, drove it this morning no issues, parked it came back this afternoon and the car will not go into forward gear? it goes reverse but not forward?? the gera stick feels loose?
what do you mean? the gear stick seems fine but it feels like nothing is connected to it when i move the gears trying to get the car on gear.what do you mean? the gear stick seems fine but it feels like nothing is connected to it when i move the gears trying to get the car on gear.

if there is fluid under the vehicle, then likely you have punctured the transmission pan cover. without fluid present, the transmission will just slip out of gear.
if no fluid has dripped out of the pan, then you may have significantly altered the alignment of the drive-train to the point that parts are not lining-up anymore.
General advice: Radio interference. Ceck alternator recharge rate. Very low on details,u mean if in a parking lot it will iddle fine?If breaking hard won't stall?If easy break engage won't cut? Fuel/Fuel line/fuel pump related issues. Air mass (MAF) sensor related. U must track the problem,more details. Cheers,share if figured out.
it need a full charge just running it about for an hour or two doesent charge it properly also the stalling does this happen when its completley flat if so i have a mercedes and when my battery used to go completley dead i spent a few quid more and bought a desent make as the cheaper ones are rubbish also it can take between 50 to 100 miles for the ecu to reprogram its self after the battery is flat then it should be ok but get the battery charged over a 24 hour perioud first before you check any thing else out hope this helps ivan

Hi there, you are experiencing a water pump failure. this may be in conjunction with a faulty thermostat as well. i wouldn't drive this car until you replace the water pump and thermostat. it will only cause more internal damage. hope that helps and, thx for using fix ya:)
If you have the capability to lift your tires using you cars jack try to rotate all tires at a time. make sure you have not engage to any gear anghand barke off and make sureto put a safety block on the opposite tire you are lifting. if you have hard time to rotating your tire wich is lifted and on nuetral positon your brakes are stuck. Have a good mechanic check it for you
If the vehcile is V6,then the trans model is the A540E,and if it is the 4 cylinder engine,the trans model is an A140E.Both are 4 speed overdrive transmissions,and sorry to report that on just abot every automatic trans on the road,reverse gear failure is almost always a mechanical problem inside the transmission because there are no shift solenoids involved with reverse as with forward gears.And you did say the forward gears were fine.Good luck.
what do you mean? the gear stick seems fine but it feels like nothing is connected to it when i move the gears trying to get the car on gear.
