F31 320D manual gearbox grinding
Hello, I have a problem with my F31 which has to do with the manual gearbox.
Whenever I push the car hard and shift into 2nd gear the gears grind but only in 2nd gear. At all other times when I'm just casually driving it, it shifts just fine into all gears. It's only when I launch the car hard that it grinds into 2nd gear. Anybody else had this problem or know what is the cause?? It's a F31 320D sport 2013, driven around 150.000 km |

Yeah I just found a thread about this, literally right after I posted this.
BMW probably won't cover this since the car is 6 years old and driven 150.000km right??... |

Not to be mean but hell no, haha. Try a fluid flush, sometimes the friction modifiers in the new fluid can make them engage a little easier but it’s only a bandaid to the problem.

Did also change the brake fluid, pretty sure the clutch master shares a resevoir with the brakes right? Will just have to granny the second gear until I have to change the clutch and will change the gearbox at the same time when I can afford another gearbox. |

Go under the car and bleed the clutch line. The easiest way is to pump fluid up into the bleeder screw.
On mine the 1-2 shift is extremely slow .. you have to give the synchro time to sync up. Ensure you are not slamming it give it the time it needs. But in all likelihood you are probably effed. Once that starts it only gets worse. I lived with that on my Subaru for about a year and then it started popping out of 2nd hard. I would eventually start looking for a used trans and diy replace it. Do the rear main and clutch kit. |
