Just kidding about needing help with my love life. I will be a Fox lover until the day she takes my life. I own a 93 coupe which is being converted with every goody that makes a 03 Cobra what it is. I happen to own one that was rolled so my project begins. I'm sure I'll get a few low blows for asking this. But I believe that this site is really about friends helping friends no matter what their daily driver is. Well, I guess I'll come right out with it. I own a BMW Z3 roadster which is my daily driver. I basically bought the car because I haven't met one chick that doesnt dig the hell out of it. I still get a little upset in traffic when I catch some chicks checking me out knowing it's just because of my ride. Not like I'm ugly or anything, I'm just not stupid. I just have flashes of high school when I got not love. But I'll continue to see this as an advantage for the very short time I have with my lil import. I plan to sell it by 06 to help pave the way for modular madness. Holy Hell I'm sure this tread is getting way too long by everyones standards. So anyway this question pertains to my Z3's shifts. The problem started happening when I downshifted hard into 3rd from 4th taunting a G35. Once I needed to get back up to 4th it wasn't there so shopped around and found 5th. I stayed in 5th thinking about what broke then I tried looking for 4th and it was there from 5th. I parked and ran through all my gears while in nuetral and it was fine for 3 or 4 upshifts and downshifts. Then on a set of upshifts I was locked out of 4th, so I went to 5th then back down to 4th and found it like that. A couple of times I was even locked out of 3rd and 4th so this was fixed by getting into reverse first. Basically I cant find 4th while driving unless I hit 5th first. And when coming to a stop and running through the gears I used to slow the syncros down I have problems with getting 2nd and 1st. But just about every lil quirky thing that happens is solved by jamming it hard in 5th of rev with the clutch in. Now I know the engineering of a BMW is like apples and oranges when comapared to a Ford. So I'm not expecting you to tell me how to fix it just maybe some insight on where to start. I know that was hella long and I truly appreciate it if you made it this far. But if you know a friend that didnt tell him I wont hate. Much Luv Dez
