SMG Gearbox

Hi,

was searching for something and
stumbled across this.

Given all the CSL's were SMG originally
thought it might be helpful.

Even a sticky ?

Hi,

SMG Box- Side Spring Replacement.

This was also on the same Forum and is good
to know.

Even the main dealers missed this simple fix.

I browsed these discussions myself, I have saved the links in my favourites a while back, interesting as a few on here have had the delay into 4th problem, and sometimes missing 4th straight into 5th, always a new gearbox fitted as well.

Was it not shimster?

Who knows whether it was just a £1.50 spring.

i had a replacement gearbox as it kept going from 3rd to 4th but missing 4th, crunching into neutral

got a vid of it somewhere

Sounds very similar symptoms shimmy, a replacement spring, £1.50

Good for future reference if ever with no warranty:clown:

Def worth making this a sticky for SMG gearbox problems as some of the links to the spring and pump issues are superb. (Rob/Mark/Daz - can you do this?)

HEre si my 2007 gear slip at Donny (excuse maxx in the pasenger seat as the noise it was making was getting him worried). Tis video proved to my dealer i had an issue as it was not reoccuring very often.

Do you reckon this was the pring thing!?!

Yes I reckon it was Shimmy, good to know in future, as BMW dealers just like to replace whole units.

Ive got a slight rattle on my engine- "needs a new engine sir"
