My 1991 740 Wagon is running fine after 318K miles. Recently the AW70L transmission feels like it is slipping when starting out in first gear. I press the accelerator, the engine revs and 1/2 - 1 second later the car starts to move. Is this a symptom of something worn ? The transmission fluid level is OK. For the past 150K miles the fluid has been changed every 50K miles of mostly highway driving. Maybe I should have changed it every 20K... Once the car is moving, the transmission shifts smoothly in other gears. The problem is also not consistent - it is more noticeable in the first few minutes after the car is started.

Thanks,

Mike
