95 E40d possible mlps issue
So I’m having the classic symptoms of a bad mlps.... slipping, hesitant upshifts, tc lockup at odd times, etc. This condition started overnight, after a drive home in some wintry conditions. Replaced the mlps, still nothing. The trans shifts through all gears, reverse, and will even cruise 70 mph with full tc lockup. Symptoms seem to come and go, and trans fluid is clean although higher than I remember after doing a service maybe 5k miles ago.
The problem seems electrical with it being as sporadic as it is. Where can I go from here?

Here is a possible solution to consider. You should run diagnostic codes to see if any of these apply to you. Sandy
