Car Forum / BMW Cars / March 2005328i
hi, I have a328i touring from 95. Lately there is something wrong..... By idle when I have the clutch in.. i hear a noise, something rattling. And when driving... shifting gear is very difficult, must use heavy force Anywone idea? > hi, I have a328i touring from 95. > Lately there is something wrong.....

It sounds like it will probably fail very soon. Doesn't matter what the problem is exactly, you'll end up having to pull out the transmission to get it fixed. Might just be the throwout bearing, but by the time I had it this far apart I'd throw the whole clutch kit in (clutch disk, pressure plate, throwout and pilot bearings) -Fred W >> hi, I have a328i touring from 95. >> Lately there is something wrong.....

How many miles do you have on the old one? -Fred W >>>> hi, I have a328i touring from 95. >>>> Lately there is something wrong.....

That's probably the original then. That's about right (~90k miles), depending on how much stop and go traffic you drive in. Many folks get much more but they are driving a lot on the highway. Your 10 year old clutch is probably due for replacement. Have a good independant mechanic give it a look-see first and get a few quotes on the job. Parts should be ~$3-400 and the labor should not be too bad, maybe 3 hours? -Fred W >>> That's my guess.

BMW clutches can last a long time if not abused.

All BMWs do that when warm, especailly ones the miles mount up. > And when driving... shifting gear is very difficult, must use heavy force Change the tranny fluid. I'll bet it's worse when the fluid is cold? Redline synthetic oil will help.

Problem appears the same time with the clutch problem > Shifting is at all times different, hot and cold. > Problem appears the same time with the clutch problem They're unlikely to be related unless the clutch is dragging. That could be caused by a bad slave/master cylinder. But I don't think you have a major problem here.

Ok, JB. If you say so. I have always found these symptoms to be worthy of consideration... -Fred W PS - I am serious. I *love* your website. >> hi, I have a328i touring from 95. >> Lately there is something wrong..... By idle when I have the clutch [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Change the tranny fluid.

There wasn't a 328 in the US in 95 so it must be the equivelent of a '96. My clutch (with 110k miles on it) makes no noise whatsoever and I have no problems shifting in the cold or otherwise, plus the tranny takes ATF, not oil, unless that's what you meant, synthetic ATF. I guess they all don't do that... ;-) -Fred W |
