: My wife's 525ia is rather lethargic in the morning. You drop it in 'R', and it just barely moves. Once out of the drive it works fine. Even after I changed the filter it acts this way.
: Is this normal, or is the trans headed south?

My 525 does the same thing. When you first start it up it will rev but barely move in reverse. Wait a few seconds and its fine. I had assumed it was normal but I'm not sure.
