I think the valve bodies are known to clog up.

I would guess a rebuild is in store. Happend to my buddies 94' 740, had to have the valve body rebuilt. It wouldnt go into gear until you revved it a little.

I think after it has initiall engaged(after you put it in drive or revrse) you are fine until you take it ut of gear and put it back in.
