Hi no probs did u have same issue?

@bassilmohammad4085 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the video and the useful content. I have an e92/2010 where I started to get a transmission fault on the dash after I have changed the gear cooler and the gear oil. The car did not generate any codes earlier, but after I have done the above maintenance, I started to get the ugly transmission fault. The fault only comes after I drive the car (after 20 or 30 mins) not sure what could be the relation but it seems that when the car is warm enough this fault comes in. After the fault is on the dash, the car starts to have poor transmission, error in selection (be in N while the selector is in D, etc.) I got it inspected by a mechanic (who did the oil change) but he was not able to fix it (he suggested to change the whole gear box, which I am not convinced to do!) It is notable that when the car is parked, cold, it starts with out any issue and without the transmission fault. The fault comes after driving the car for 30+ mins. I am puzzled and not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi most dont know how to top up the oil correctly. You need to make sure around 7 litres go in. Most top it up as per normal until the oil starts to come out. It could also be that the clutch packs are worn out and in that case you would need to have it refurbed so the mechanic could be right.

@@houseofcars6998 in the latter case, would the whole gear box be changed or it is a type of fix the packs can have? Thanks for the swift response - appreciated

@@bassilmohammad4085 you can have just the packs done but it can be over £2K. Replacement gbox should be cheaper but no guarantee it’ll work long. I would suggest draining the oil first and then measuring 7 litres (from the gbox being totally empty) and make sure it takes all of that. You might have to tilt the car forwards to give it enough space to go in.

Hi, Have same issues with ‘06 325xi. As I understood you did tension up a cable underneath a car and it helped, is it correct?

@houseofcars6998 Жыл бұрын

Hi yes I straightened the holder where the cable sits

Hi, would u perhaps know why my car is electronically in ‘D3’ while parked without the engine running. After a short ride couldnt get it running again and found out the transmission tells the computer its in Drive 3rd gear. On the dash or transmission poke it works fine and displays the right situation. Also while in N it’s possible to push the car. I’ve almost tried everything and read every forum, called almost every specialist in my country but nobody seems to know the problem… thanks in advance!

Hi thats very odd. Normally the it would show a fault if the gears on the display are different to what is selected. I think for this you need a real gearbox specialist. Search a guy on KZfaq called Gary Ferraro. Or there are some transmission specialists in the UK i can share there numbers for you

Have you checked this cable? Disconnect the selector here from the gearbox and change gears yourself. See if it goes correctly into gear without the gearstick

@@toastydan0511 thats great you got half of it sorted. Here i was thinking will this video be worth posting 😜 Yeah so if u take off the gear surround theres a wire that gets stretched when you go to sport mode and that breaks over time. Just use a block connector to wire it back up.

Im having an issue with my 2008 BMW 328i. The shifter moves into Reverse, Neutral, and Drive, but the car will not move. The car is not going into gear. Any suggestions on what is wrong??

@houseofcars6998 28 күн бұрын

@@Alvo901 Confirm the cable from the gearstick down to gearbox is moving as should. I’m guessing its the selector switch. Shouldnt be anything big if its as simple as you’d described

@houseofcars6998 Жыл бұрын

Maybe an issue with the wiring at the gearstick if its just happened randomly. If it’s over time then more likely to be towards the gearbox internals. Can you give more details?
