    Is my transmission going bad? Anyone ever experienced this?

    1985 318i
    M10 and 5 Speed

    Changed all oils
    MTL in transmission
    Royal Purple Differential.

    Have put 300 miles so far no issues until today.
    When turning the wheel all the way the car doesn't go as fast as I expect as soon as wheel straightens she jerks and picks up speed. All gears are ok until last gear 5 if I keep gas down it feels like she's slipping on a sheet of ice every 2 second. Rpms don't shoot up at all I just feel like she's skipping in the diff every couple seconds.

    Do I need to take out the Royal purple what's the insight on this? You all know more than me. I paid $45 for 2 quarts so I feel like I got ripped off and if need to be I will drain and replace with redline . Please let me know your insights if possible, I'm stumped and don't want to ruin her. Thank you!

    I don't think thats related to your transmission. Check for vacuum leaks and possibly even a bad oil cap.
