Ballistic

Hi all,

My 2005 E60 manual has only 60k on the clock and looks like new, even under the hood.
However, i am having a lot trouble shifting it smoothly.

When i'm driving, at any speed, and let go of the gas, the car gives "clunk" and when i step on the gas, again there is a "clunk" so there seems to be play in the driveline somewhere.
Did anyone else have this issue? Engine mounts look good so it might be in the gearbox or differential?

pcy

transmission mount.
flex disc (aka guibo) at the end of drive shaft.

hi think i have same problem on my auto 540 but the noise is a metallic clank sound is yours similar noise when you engage drive or clutch does it make same noise?

No it's not really metallic. It is there.. but its more Bump then a Clunk so i think something is still dampning it a bit.

My guess is the flex disc so i am going to check that first.

Got the car on the bridge today.

All parts of the driveline where shiny like new. No play anywhere. Also no play in the mounting rubbers.

Next up; Checking/replacing the Dual Mass Flywheel and going to remove the CDV while i am at it. Because BMW... Im sorry but these cars shift like shit
