jjs 60 Report post Posted August 4, 2007 Im looking at a 328i 1995 import with a gearbox issue.... When changing from first to second it at times won't do so until high revs (about 5-6). If you let off the accelerator it will change fine. There are no other gearbox issues apart from this. Is this terminal? You experiences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) They do chage at higher rev in cold than in warm, but mine's (97 323i) change at 3000 usually but at around 3500-4000 at most even in sport mode. (why would you use sport mode with a cold engine anyway?) I don't know how bad of a jolt is yours but mine does a little bit when cold as well. The import does it because they always sits in traffic jam and use the 1st and 2nd all the time. Edit: typo Edited August 5, 2007 by my_e36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
