Transmission problem
1994 BMW 740 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I need help on finding the transmission sensor. Think I found it, but I need a diagram, but cant find one. If u could help me, I would appreciate it a lot. Also, I need to know if there is still a recall on this model also.

I have trans error code 42 on my '94 740iL. Not sure if that means the wiring harness is bad or not. Just bought this car used and it doesn't shift gears. It wouldn't start when we bought it but that was both a security issue AND a crank position sensor issue. Trying to figure out if maybe dry rot is the culprit or something else. The wires all look good though.
