[QUOTE="gimli, post: 603210, member: 942"] bro the lack of ATF will basically destroy your gearbox. you need to get it fixed ASAP. Imagine metal rubbing each other without any lubricant. It will cause friction which in turn will cause the metal cog wheel to wear off prematurely. Basically you should drain out all the ATF & replace it. Drive for a couple of Km's & if the problem persist, then you have to overhaul your gearbox. At least you can still use back the ATF (provided there is no metal shavings). BTW if you are short on cash, a used gearbox might also be an option. check out places like mudah, i remember seeing a used 318i gearbox for sale. [/QUOTE]
