Hey guys, I absolutly loveeee my 2006 330i, no complaints at all except for one....... Does it lag between 1st and 2nd gear on an automatic for all? a good example is when you accelerate from a dead stop. or is it just mine? I tried accelerating from a dead stop out of 2nd and it was smooth, just like all the other gears. What do you guys with 330's experience?

I just traded in my '05 G35 a/t for an '08 G37s 6mt. Jan. 1st. Wow, what a great car. This is not my first stick, and I often drive my g/f Altima mt. My question is about starting off in 2nd gear. Does anyone else do this? Will this harm the transmission? Just seems like first gear is a waste on this car. Of course I don't do this all the time, especially when cars in front of me at stop ...

I have my old transmission laying in my garage now..Its got a broken 2nd gear. I didnt open it up and look in it. I guess it could be used for PPG set up or something. Make me an offer. Im willing to let this go cheap as its not worth anything to me I could send pics if you want, but it looks like any other transmission. PICKUP ONLY. Thanks...

Hi Guys, I have a 2003 Range Rover with about 60,000miles on it, over the past week after driving for 30 to 45mins and then going up a steep hill my transmission will get stuck in 2nd gear and wont shift unless I manually shift it or almost redline. I am not getting any codes but am getting a slight overheating smell after this happens ( can't smell it in the car). If I shut the car off, the ...

OK so last night driving home slowing down to make a turn down shifted from 3rd to 2nd under normal driving, then made a turn and popped out of gear and i hear the sound of metal getting thrown around comming from near the shifter. Car would drive in 3rd, i slow down to the stop sign by my house put it in second and the car just revs. So what did I do? Does it sound like i need a new ...

96 RAM VAN 2nd gear winding out.. HI, My 96 Dodge Ram van w 3.9 has been acting up lately. While accelerating the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd fine, then winds way up and wont shift until I let off the gas. Sometimes slightly slipping , sometimes shifting right into gear. Occasionally under very slow acceleration it will ...

Currently shifting through 1 - 4 is fine however when I try shifting down from 3rd to 2nd it never shifts down. Which means I either have to take corners fast in 3rd or slow right down to drop into first. What's the likely cause of such problems? I've also noted lately that my gear stick will drop into reverse if you don't specificly choose second. Before I used to be able to just rock ...

Hi folks, I read somewhere (in this forum) that if I shifted to tiptronic, I could put the car in 2nd gear for a better take off in the snow. Mine won't do that, it stays in first. Even if I come to a stop in second gear, it automatically shifts into first. Is there anyone that has experience with this? I used to be able to do this with both my Chevy and my Dodge. Is there a trick to this? I ...

Hey guys, new member, will post in that thread shortly but for now, need some help... Bought a used '96 Yukon 1/2 ton 4x4 170K miles, unsure of any work previously done. Truck runs great but have to rev high and let off gas to get it to shift and it goes straight to 4th (or 3rd, can't tell) and skips 2nd. Doesn't seem to go into OD, but does go in rev fine. Fluid looks good, no ...

I've done about everything you can do to a car, except touch an automatic trans, guess I've always found them a little intimidating. I'll check the servo cover and see if it will push in. (now my ignorance is going to show) If the band is broke or needs replacing, does the trans have to be torn down? Thanks for the help!

So i just finished installing my GT2860RS, car running strong. But every time in 2nd gear and building up boost to like 5000rpm, car will stutter. What exactly is going on? And i think especially when the car is cold.

I am using BKR6E that are pre-gapped to whatever, but I didn't gap them at all. But the funny thing is my idle is super smooth, even cold start at -1C. I don't have any problem with rough idle at all. Quote: Originally Posted by gmx mine were old stock #6097 and IIRC they were all gapped to roughly 0.035~ Just buy a cheapass ...
Has anyone experienced any slight difficulty going from 1st into second after high rpm'ing it...? Like all the other gears seem to work like butter? lol just wondering, i checked my clutch oil and it's disgusting brown instead of clear, hopefully that solves the problem...

Prior to tearing into that trans I'd be taking a look at the 2nd gear brake band servo seals. If they are as hard as a rock, cracked, brittle, or broken the piston in that servo piston will be inoperable, and cause a pressure loss on the 2nd gear band also-it's mess up the second gear shift without blinking an eye.

Did you flush the oil cooler or just do a drain and refill? If the fluid was so bad I would recommend that you do it again as there will be lots of undesirables in the transmission. Then in about 2 - 3000 miles do it again as the new fluid will be picking up all the grungey bits and you will be able to get more of them out. For the next three fluid changes you would help things if you did a ...
