Transmission Help!

kwhalen507 · 04-09-2019, 06:27 PM

Hello!

Within the last year I had my entire manual transmission replaced by Herrin-Gear BMW in Jackson, MS. This has turned into a complete nightmare. My transmission currently jumps out of first gear intermittently (most often on steep hills). I have been back and forth to the dealership several times, with them citing there is nothing they can do without the problem being replicated in their presence..... I have since caught the issue on go-pro twice and forwarded accordingly to both them and BMW North American. Can anyone explain what the heck is going on in these videos and what is actually wrong with this transmission? I would like to sound more technically competent, while arguing my case........ Please see my youtube links.

Thank you!

The transmission can jump out of gear if it is not totally engaged. This can be a lever adjustment issu or it can be the synchro. One is easy the other is $$$.
