Car Forum / BMW Cars / December 2006Can’t SHIFT to Reverse, my last hope. Please Help! :(
Hi all. It pains me to report that I’m having no luck with my car (1989 535i). It seems that when I try to shift into reverse or drive, etc. nothing happens. Nada. The car turns on fine and is otherwise, from what I know, okay. Any suggestions? I know it can be a number of things. But some kind of feedback would be great. It’s difficult for me to get a mechanic to check it out. I’m very hands on, so if it’s anything I can do myself - I shall. But I only know that of which I’ve learned. And since I never had this problem before, naturally, I don’t know what to do. Thanks in advance! I will be hawking for replies.

Does it shift into the desired gear, but nothing happens? This would indicate an internal problem with the transmission. Does the shifter move, but nothing happens? This would indicate an external problem with the transmission. > Hi all. It pains me to report that I'm having no luck with my car > (1989 535i).

If you have just acquired the car it may be shiftlock - forward or reverse drive can only be selected when the footbrake is depressed. |
