bmw e28 transmission issue

Post by aivisb »

Hello,i own bmw e28, 520i, 4 speed automatic, 1988, 158k..I have a problem when I put it in drive or reverse, I feel a big kick..This happens 70% of the time, Mostly happens in reverse..Sometime that happens not only when you want it start move,but when changes gears.And if i driving on the highway for example 50-60 miles an hour or more, and sharp press and releasing the gas pedal, I felt a kick,but this time this come from back side..Feeling like differential loose,and move..No vibration at any speed...What that could be...

Driveshaft u-joints are a possibility.
