318is 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 Have your pressures and hoses looked at. Might be low oil or low pump pressure, or clutch packs. Either way - donen't sound too good i'm afraid.... time to sell?? or fork out for tranny out job?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 the forward clutch pack it a combination of about 6 or 7, 1mm steel disc's. depends on who you go to to get the job done should cost about 3-4 i have a M20 auto gearbox for you if you want to buy it. im coming up to h town this weekend. from memory the gearbox has only done about 105,00kms. also i have access to a pit in hams i can put it in for you.
