I would also suspect a slow synchro. Since the car is still under warranty, take advantage of it.<br><br>Mike Morris<br>Schneller BMW Performance<br>26 Middle Rd <br>Newbury, MA 01951<br>978.465.2002Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:08:28 GMTschnellerhttp://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic391-7-1.aspxThanks for the reply...another fellow Armenian? lol Armenians and their BMWs haha.Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:53:34 GMTArustikhttp://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic391-7-1.aspxDavid,<br><br>I'm not a pro mechanic, but it sounds like you have a weak syncro in 2nd gear. Since your car is new, I'd have the dealer look at it. Most likely they'll put in a new transmission. You might have to leave it overnight so they can see how it grinds when it's cold.Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:01:36 GMTdanarussian http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic391-7-1.aspxAnybody?? Anything? I tend to realize that it doesn't seem as bad when the engine is warmed up and I shift at around 4K.Tue, 01 Apr 2008 02:48:01 GMTArustikhttp://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic391-7-1.aspxHello,<br><br>I have an awful shift into second gear when the car is cold. Sometimes I feel grinding other times the shift is better. I do know how to shift as well as advanced shifting techniques. I was wondering what was wrong. Every other gear is perfect. I have heard of the CDV but do not know if it actually is that because usually when the engine warms up the shift into second feels smoother.<br><br>PLEASE HELP IT REALLY DOES BUG ME...45K $ car and shift sucks...<br><br>Thank you,<br>David ArustamianSun, 30 Mar 2008 15:04:11 GMTArustik
