In messages here, someone said, "oh hope you didnt get the automaitic..."
Now as to whether they meant in relation to the D24 Diesel engine in combination, or that the BW55 Auto Trans had difficulties, I really dont know.


Some 740 turbodiesels came with a ZF automatic that tended to burn out clutches under certain circumstances (revving while stationary, IIRC). I was told to avoid those, but I don't think they were ever used in 240 diesels. They have a shift pattern of PRND321 (and no overdrive button) instead of PRND21 - they are thus easily identifiable.
