, is that clutch slur? or is that less subtle than that?

Exactly the same problem for me (the 4th gear)...after lot of work...-new gearbox- and lot of euros; bmw says that the car was so old : 70% in warranty on the gearbox.
My car was 44000km... bad problem for this kilometer....
I am not alone i think it's a gearbox default....

Murketts checked the GBox and found traces of metal in the oil which is hte synchro destroying inself so got aBMw good will new gearbox

That would make sense. Listening to that vid, the car seems to attempt the change, doesn't get it, tries again (or the gear is attempted again) and eventually it grabs. I expect the gearbox expects the synchro to work in a predetermined time and wouldn't do like a human does and slow a gear change if it's being notchy etc....

I wonder if the change speed was changed to a slower speed if it occurred less?

Well, if you were on standard brake fluid you can't expect it to last long to be fair!

If only you had some CSLRegister.com cards to hand out........

Steve's video sounds similar to what mine is doing (except I dont rev so hard

/

). Not had a chance to get it checked out again yet.

Any suggestions of what I should fire at them? *apart from a spud gun
