On a 1998 318ti Sport, I have changed the tranny fluid with Valvoline MTF 85w-90, and for some reason it doesnt seem to feel as solid as it used to. 2nd gear pops out alot more often, and it just isnt as smooth as before.

What kind of fluids are you using in your 318ti? Please state the year as well, because different years seem to have different specs; I didnt have an owners manual to work with so I tried what worked before in my SE-R...

I cant say Im pleased with it, so looking for some suggestions

Thanks!
