BMW 3-Series Automatic Transmission Bands & Clutches

Transmission clutches and bands connect and disconnect various components to get the transmission into overdrive. Each gearshift starts a series of events, making different clutches and bands engage and disengage. In order to operate smoothly, the transmission and all its components on your BMW 3-Series have to be properly maintained. Proper maintenance includes keeping all parts in tip-top shape and changing transmission fluid on a regular basis. Recommended intervals for fluid change are, as a rule, specified by the manufacturer. However, if you push your auto hard, these intervals should be shorter.

Transmission bands and clutches are connecting components. If faulty, they may cause a delay in engagement, which is one of the common automatic transmission problems and occurs when clutches and bands fail to operate instantly. Speaking about the BMW 3-Series, a rather common issue is a leaking transmission pan and connector sleeve. When your transmission fluid is leaking, do not forget that after you solve the original problem, it may be needed to change the fluid and filter. Still, if the issue lies in clutches or bands, our store carries a superior collection of BMW 3-Series automatic transmission bands & clutches to help you successfully make any kind of repair.
