hi all,
need to seek advices for a possible gearbox prob I've just encountered..
my e90 mileage is 125k.. for a couple of months, the car had been jerky during low gear shift, usually (can be quite a significant jerk) at 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd gear change at low rpm.. during slow speed low gear driving, the gear can down shift for no reason.. on very few occasion the orange gear symbol appear.. once in awhile, during stop, when it's D gear, the car will also jerk, it feels as if someone hit the car from behind, in a frequency of once every 30sec to a minute, I can counter this prob by shifting to N..
above problems is kind of of irritating but I still consider it non emergency as the car still bring me from point A to B.. but today, during a short distance drive.. when accelerating after stopping at traffic light, the gear doesn't engage, rpm goes up but car doesn't move.. I have to put the gear to N or P, pause for a second, back to D to have it moving again.. it happens 3-4 times during a less then 10km drive, and during one time while parking the car, orange gear symbol appear, I shift to reverse but the gear doesn't engage, then I stop the engine and re-ignite the car to make it work again..
I've an early flight tomoro and won't be driving for the next few days, this car will be heading to workshop once I return.. just before the workshop conclude the fault.. may I ask, is this a known common prob for e90, or could it not be gearbox prob and maybe the clutch or any particular sensor or solenoid?
thanks
