Hello everyone, i have been searching around but have had a hard time finding concrete info. My 740 shifts fairly hard between gears, it sort of 'bangs' them if im giving any gas, but still shifts hard even with out a lot of throttle applied. i have changed all the fluid and cleaned the screen in the tranny, i believe the tranny is a A71?!?! it is the stock tranny and i think that is what should be in the car. The car has been great but i will be leaving to go to NH and i am debating if there is a good chance this tranny could 'let go' while im on the trip, in which case id just bite the bullet and fly up.

what do you guys think? the car probably has ~200k on it, but it was driven by and older man and his wife, so the miles have not been that hard, yet there has been quite a lot of them :) any info would be great! Thanks, bill
