shifter linkage? E36 325 auto trannies are shit, I hate mine, it wouldn't be as bad if it had a tranny in there, that worked better with the motor...

really.......damn that sucks...

well how come people's auto trannys seem to get to fairly decent miles? i mean i've never seen too many problems with the auto trannies?
but yeah that sucks tho I didnt know they got them from GM. .....tisk

hopefully they dont still do that now

Um, what about the guibo flex disc thingy?

I can't remember exactly what the symptoms of that going bad are, but it's in that general area, lol.

Someone else can hopefully chime in.

Ironically i just replaced that cause it was going bad. i mean it didnt do it all day today just when it's cold outside.

im still so sad that the auto tranny's are GM's. does anyone know if they have many problems, I know their not the greatest....but?

So many cars are autos. If those trannys were so bad, I think we'd know it

**94bmw325i** · 04-20-2007, 07:18 PM

not bad as in working, for me so far, just the way it shifts..

they cant handle much power....they tend to fail fairly quickly when adding significant amounts of power...ever with super chargers

i meant that most supercharged e36's do not create that much extra power...good hp but not much torque

oh oh I see
