<<I am having a problem shifting into 2nd gear, especially when the car is
cold.>>

CJ,
the  84' 318i's had a few trans. quirks. It would help to know which OEM you
have in your car. Check the bell housing for the manufacturer's stamp. You
should see either "ZF" or "Getrag". Let me know.

Regards,
Jeff

Subject: Need advice on '85 M5

 
I'm currently looking at an '85 M5.  It was grey market and supposedly
has the appropriate papers.  I'm looking for some information on the
'85 M5s.  Mainly I want to be sure it IS an M5.  Stupid me, I didn't think
to write down the VIN, and honestly don't remember if the engine said
M-power on it (I was too busy dreaming I guess).  The car has all of the
trimmings, tri colors etc.  I also have the number of the mechanic that
worked on the car so I'll call him on monday.

Two things bother me about the car:
   1) Not as powerful as I expected...I thought that in '85 it had 275hp
   2) Its an automatic...I thought the M5s were manuals

Otherwise its a beautiful black 5-series thats never seen snow.  Anyway
thiis will be my first BMW (drawing me from SAABs) and these little
things nag at me...

  Thanks-
  Greg

Subject: another '02 electrical question

Hi,
Looks like someone's auto-reply might give us another endless mail loop
over the weekend. I'll make this short:
I replaced my worn-out 32/36 DGAV with a fresh DGV, now the car runs great
but the instrument cluster/automatic choke fuse blows out every time I step
on the gas. I suspect it has something to do with the two wires that used
to be connected to the DGAV. One was connected to the electric choke; the
other went from the ignition coil to what looked like an electrically
regulated air jet (?) above the accelerator pump (it doesn't interchange
with its counterpart on the DGV). I got rid of the latter wire and left the
former dangling. Where did I go wrong?

Thanks in advance!      Q  '72 '02

Dear CJ:

My '84 318i started demonstrating the same 2nd gear grinding you 
described when it had about 138k miles on it.  When I start out 
of the driveway in the morning, I must be extremely careful 
shifting into 2nd to avoid grinding the gears.  The problem goes 
away once the car travels a few miles.  The car now has 155k on 
it and the problem has not gotten any worse, perhaps because I 
have been especially careful during shifting.

Although I know next to nothing about transmissions, other than 
how to change a clutch, I would guess that the 2nd gear synchro 
is worn or damaged.  I'm pretty sure that I caused the problem in 
my car by "getting rubber" during 1st to 2nd gear shifts. (Shame 
on me!  Ok, I guess I'm a redneck, I'm sure no one else on this 
list would abuse their BMW in such a manner.  HA!)  Since my 
diagnosis is a guess, I would like to hear what the BMW gurus on 
the list think. 

As long as my transmission doesn't get any worse, I don't plan on 
correcting the problem. 

Happy Holidays,

Jay
