Jatco jerk... Help needed

Recommended Posts

I know this has been covered heaps in the past, but am after a little bit of advice.

My 96 328i has developed quite a snap between first and second when cold. It has only developed over the last couple of weeks and during this time I have only been doing city driving and very little of it (the furthest I've been from the CBD is Sylvia Park...), could this type of driving be a cause?

When operating temp reaches the standard level, the snap seems to go away. I have no other shifting issues and overall the gearbox seems to work well.

I've had a similar problem on a 94 MB E320 and a South African 95 325i. I was led to believe with those that it is a standard quirk with the ZF / Getrag transmissions.

Is it OK to keep driving it as is, or is there some preventative maintenance I should undertake? And, is it likely to be terminal?

Cheers and merry christmas!
