My son is away driving the 05 e46. He is going up a grade and he here's a sudden grinding. He puts the car in park and the car rolls while it is in Park. He is remote so its hard to troubleshoot. First I thought Center Bearing on the driveshaft, but the car should still go in park, right? \...

I have the GM transmission, the fluid and filter were changed in the last 1000 miles and there hasn't been any slippage until this. My daughter was driving the car from school and shortly after leaving the transmission slipped and the car stopped moving. When I put the car into any gear it...

Hi there I have 2001 330ci ! And my car is stuck on "limp mode " and when you check on the computer through ECU it gives error in 5th gear but the car is stuck on 3rd or 4th gear .what should I do ?

When transmission is in D at speeds over about 55 it will bump back down into 4th gear (i can change to S4 and rpm's don't change). After another 5 minutes the trans will go into limp mode with dreaded red gear lit up on dash. Also the check engine and dcs light are on and stay on. Turning...

I recently posted a thread about the issue I Was having with my car. I decided to take it to the stealership for a full diagnosis and that's it. I got a towing company to take it there and they were pretty mad about it but **** it, they told me they found codes in gearbox 3 and 4 which meant...

Hello, I have 04 M3 SMG. Car has been running like a champ and driven lightly with 76K on it. I recently floored it in 1st gear up to red line and let go. After that it started to shudder when taking off in 1st and 2nd gear at low rpms. Shifts perfect though. I haven't been driving it much after...

Hey guys, Newbie here. I purchased a 2001 330xi about a month ago and absolutely loved it, until the other day. I have the 5 speed manual transmission and while shifting into 4th, I felt a subtle POP in the clutch pedal. Coming up to a light, I shifted back into neutral and inconveniently...

Well, the inevitable has finally happened. the dreaded no reverse has shown up on my bmw 323i with 176k miles :eek: . Given the age of my car and the mileage, I'm not looking to drop major coin on the car. Anybody know of a Minneapolis based transmission shop able to do a transmission rebuild...

Hi, everybody. I have been reluctant to post a new thread, as I don't want to repost something that's been posted myriad times before. Plus, I don't yet have fault codes, if there are any (see below). I've spent hours searching and reading, however, and I'm not satisfied that I've seen my exact...

:banghead: Got the dreaded 740 code on my 03 330i with the ZF steptronic. My car has 104k miles and won't shift into the OD in either sport or normal so the check engine light keeps reappearing. My trusted mechanic replaced the ATF and got no shavings and minimal gunk about 4k miles ago...

Hey everyone, If anyone could help me out or tell me what could be wrong with my stick shift I would appreciate it. I own a 2001 BMW 330ci. Whenever the car is warming up, when the stick is in neutral position, it sticks to the right as if a spring is not sending it back to the center. (It's...
