Tranny problems
I have a 02 m3 6 speed and its not shifting smoothly between 1-2and 3 it feels like there are notches in between the gears. It doesn't grind so idk what it is but it shifts hard and shifts harder if its cold I changed the fluid and it didn't do anything

I heard a slight kick-back 1-2 and 2-3 is normal in these cars. So did mine.
I replaced the stock shifter with a shorter ZHP shifter, and lost maybe 1/2" in height (moment arm length, if you will). This reduced the kick-back by a lot. IMO the stock shifter was too long and it made me feel like I'm crushing into each gear. A short shifter kit may do the same thing. Also you should flush the trans fluid if you haven't done it yet. |
