Transmission problems solved? (archive)

I had a problem with my 99 740iL where the transmission would suddenly start slamming into gears and then eventually not shift out of 2nd gear. No warning or check lights would come on.

The dealer has diagnosed this and reports that it is caused by a bad wiring harness and a software update. Is this really a possible solution? It sure sounded like a mechanical problem to me where the transmission was going
into limp home mode.

Thoughts?
