What can I do? Thanks Bob [Reply]   [Send Email]

It is hard to get into first third and forth gears so I don't use them. Thanks, Bob   [Reply]   [No Email]

Do not know if shifter is removable without removing trans cover.If so knob on lower end could be built up for tighter fit.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I think all the "top" gears, 1st, 3rd, and 4th never did go in easy as there was so little travel of the shift lever compared to the "lower" gears. I have the same problem on my M5. It can be a bear to get it in gear somedays. You may be able to get the shift lever out without removing the transmission cover. That is where alot of the wear is sometimes. After I placed washers, shift lever spring and a new pin in mine (for a quick fix) it worked much better.   [Reply]   [No Email]
