My 1990 760 Turbo has the AW71 trans. Only after warming up for 15 minutes or so will it shift from 1st to 2nd. Also if I baby it along in starting gear (D)Drive (I believe that is 1st)for a 1/2 a mile at 20MPH, it will begin to shift just fine and then drives beautifully as long as it isn't shut off for awile.
I have had the fluid changed about 2500 miles ago, which didn't look too bad, but that has not fixed the problem. Does the AW71 use a filter or a screen?. Anyone had this problem or know a fix??? I read in the forums that flushing can dislodge varnish. I have 178,000 miles. Is flushing a possible help?
thanks,
renny
