I have read about so many problems with the MT. Who out there with the MT has had a trouble free gear box and has some high miles? Dont be afraid to explain driving habbits too. (EX. drive hard)

 

i have about 20k on mine. still the same ol crappy clutch with the shuttering noise, pretty much the only thing that bothers me. ive learned to drive it without grinding, but the shuttering noise is my biggest pet peeve.

 

MT = POS . PEROD maybe if u dropped like a G or Z type trans. in we would be set, i feel like im driving a go-kart everyyday yayy!

 

most miles? definitely not me.....

"jar of marbles" still happens....nothing else

 

i'm pushing 35k miles and i guess i'm one of the lucky ones. no problems besides the occasional shudder when taking off in first. i've heard a really bad manual before and mine sounds nothing like that.

 

i'm pushing 32k on mine, it's an '08, installed the short shifter on it and it's a bit of a joy to drive

 

20k on mine and just the shuttering... oh yea and a grind when going into 4th past 6k RPM's LOL

(that will be fixed soon)

 

sorry no help here im just hitting 3,000 on my 08. But im wondering the same thing how long will the MT trans hold up as many problems as it seems to have?

 

im coming up on 10,000 miles now and im really looking into the short shifter and the clutch from f-sport...it's too choppy.

 

58k and nooooo problems...

 

im pushing 65k.

lol, mostly highway driving.. f-sport quick shifter installed at around 60k.

transmission still feels the same as the first day i got it

 

Thats good to hear. I bought my car used with 25k and it needed a new clutch. The dealer covered it. Im just wondering if its worth keeping the car or should I get rid of it while I have the chance. I Bought this car for the long hall, but after hearing all these problems I have no trust in this tranny. I am good for 100k miles at least on a clutch. I dont know if the previous owner couldnt drive or the design just sucks on these gear boxes....... What to do???? My other option is trade for a 330i

 

Mine is 100% perfect. No noise, fluttering or grinding. Plan to get the fsport quick shifter in the future.

 

at what point does the dealer cover the clutch up to exactly?

im around 25k KMs, same **** from the first day of the car just, dont got any grinds tho. But I dont mind burning out my clutch n get it covered before the warrenty ends.. and see if they can work in a f sport clutch instead =D

they should just compensate all MT owners wtih a f sport clutch

 

I can live with the jar of marble sound. And for me the shifts are not the best but acceptable. I just worry in 30k miles the dealer will tell me I need a new tranny clutch fly wheel etc. with a 6k bill attached. lol I really want to trust this car.I know the motor is solid but the tranny seems to be an issue
