Driving an E65 730i [2008]. Every time I go hard on the accelerator there is this loud screeching/ scratching sound that comes from the front of the car (usually while overtaking on the highway). If I continue stepping the acclerator this warning sign comes on " transmission fault, drive moderately" and it won't shift out of 3rd gear. I would have to pull to side and switch my engine off for 5 mins, only then it would go back to normal. Brought it down to a workshop, they told me my transmission was worn out and I will have to replace it (which costs a bomb here in Singapore). So now I basically have to accelerate really gradually; can't exceed 3000RPM and can barely reach 110kmh. Please advise. Any recommended worship and estimated cost?
