Thanks Smiles, Yep, I'm aware of the 1st and 2nd gear problem. My first 5 were post 98 but the last one was out of a earlier car. My problem now is the syncros grinding on 1st, not popping out. Besides, by now most of the cars with transmission problems have been replaced (I would think). S __________________ 98 supercharged 318ti Sport "It's better to be blown than stroked" |
