jom 98 Report post Posted April 12, 2010 Has anyone else come across this problem? At Manfield yesterday, my 328 E36 was accelerating fine out of left handers, (e.g the hairpin) but on high g right handers, especially Higgins, it's short shifting from 2nd to 3rd at about 4,800 rpm. Normally it will run to 6,600rpm before a change, when it's in sport mode. I can stop it doing it, but I have to take a really slow line... Any ideas?

Cheers Jo low oil level maybe? , as glenn said , probably stuffed now , most old auto trans dont like track days . just convert it to a manual or put another second hand auto box in , i have both types in stock if needed cheers brent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wom 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Mine is starting to jerk when it's dead cold and only from 1st to 2nd Had it fixed under warranty last year I'm not going to bother to get it fixed again (will try resetting the computer and getting it serviced though to see if that helps) Will just go for the manual conversion once I've saved up for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jom 98 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Thanks guys The oil has been replaced regularly (last time about 6 months ago), and the computer reset, so it's probably on it's way out. I don't have any other problems, no jerks etc, it's a real sweetie otherwise... As it's OK on left handers (pulls like a train) and the oil level shouldn't be low (no leaks) I'm assuming that it's a valving problem that can't take the g level - in one direction only. Higgins is a banked corner, so it can load up the suspension a bit. Cheers Jo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
