[QUOTE="romeo_v12, post: 4341, member: 319"] Hey people,A mate of mine had a gbox problem. His revs go down between gears and you get a jerk on and off on lower gears.He sent to workshop to check in Cheras Auto BMW and they found that his gearbox oil was milky, apparently water had been getting into his gbox throught the radiator. Apparently there is a gbox radiator that is next to the normal radiator and if the gasket leaks, then water gets in.He then took it to AB for check in Cyberjaya and they confirmed it. Told him to live with the problem and change gbox oil every 50,000 kms or change gbox to new unit for RM27,000.His is a 2001 e46 318i, silver will full AB history until last year and only 70,000 kms on the clock.How the hell did that happen? We need to know how to avoid things like this.All comments welcomeRomeo :( [/QUOTE]
