328ic 1997 Automatic S L O W into Reverse
Recently bought a '97 328i convertible w/automatic trans. About 86,000 miles on clock.
Going into reverse is S L O W takes about 3 seconds to engage.
All shifts going down the road are nice and firm, no slippage.
Should I worry, or is it a quirk that I can forget about.

I'd like to change the fluid, and thinking about doing it via
the transmission cooler lines, and avoiding opening the trans
other than to check on whether it's full or not.

Anything posted on this, anything special about the cooler lines I should know??

TIA

Change the trans fluid AND filter. To do this you need to drop the 2 pans. Mine was sluggish when I first bought it also. It had 84000 on the clock. After the fluid change, it is new again.

Pelicanparts.com has a good DIY for the fluid and filter change.
