545i 3rd gear grind.
I've noticed that when I am cruising in third gear and keep my hand resting on the shifter I can feel the shifter vibrating noticeably versus any other gear. Also when I am shifting from 2nd to 3rd at high RPM's it makes a grinding noise before engaging. This happens even after the car is warmed up it also happens if I'm down shifting at high RPM's. and when i mean high RPM's its roughly about above 4k. It never grinds when i shift lower than 3k RPM's.
Anyone else have this problem? Could it be the synchros? |
Sorry this is wild guess with BMW but I had same situation In my truck and my synchros had gone in the trans.

Agree it could be the synchros. But I remember reading somehwhere it is not a good idea to leave your hand resting on the shifter. Can't remember why though.:think:
|
are synchros hard to change on a 04 545i? anyway i can test them out or something other than taking it to the dealership?

Do you slam it into gear alot, or race into gear? Slamming gears while hauling ass?
