335 gearbox

bmw335escort · 03-13-2010, 03:32 AM

i just picked up my car used. with 20k on it. all the gears are smooth but second feels a little hard sometimes to get in. I mean it could be my " ocd" or my love for this car so it has to be perfect. what do you think guys? and its not like the gear pops out or anything either.

notchy 2nd gear is pretty normal.

on every MT car i've owned, 2nd gear is always a little notchier than the others. Completely normal.

3rd is your money maker! With enough mods you can accutally buck 2nd gear with AT
