Howdy,
I have a 1990 325i and managed to get the tranny stuck in second gear. Though the car is still in second gear, the shifter moves around as if it were in neutral but will not move into any gear. I looked underneath and the linkage is all connected...I also discovered an output shaft seal leaking :D. Anyway, this occurred when I was pulling away from a stop light and was shifting from 2nd to 3rd when I thought I missed a shift but found I couldn't shift at all. When I removed my foot from the clutch, it was still in second gear. I usually do pretty aggressive shifts into second resulting in my shifter nob sailing into the back seat. I dont know if it was a combination of an agressive shift and faulty parts or if I really screwed something up. No unusual sounds or smells from the tranny and it runs smoothly in second and only second at the moment. I am trying to avoid pulling the transmission so please, any imput would be wonderful. Thank you!
