It is not the forum that is causing me trouble.
So I will try the recap and see if I got the cycle of events right:
Your driving down the highway in the "new" 740 that you have owned for XX miles and XX months. Suddenly the car stopped moving and when I got out I saw transmission fluid all over the place. This car has had no prior indications of transmission problems (?).
I had the car towed to my residence (?) where I then added two quarts of fluid and the car still does not seem to engage any of the gears as it will not move forward or back of it own power. The motor and tranny mounts are in place and not damaged, the engine revs fine in neutral and appears to have no issues. The gear selector has no slop and verified that the linkage is not damaged (?).
The fluid is coming from the bell housing area. I dropped the pan and the filter is clogged with what appears to be clutch material (?).
Did I hit most of the points?
If you can answer the XX's and give me hint if I got the question marks right, I will be happy to help further. Based off the answers, I will tell you with 90% assurance if your tranny is toast and why it is toast if you are so unlucky. Oh, one last question, is the radiator by chance new before you purchased the car?
