[QUOTE="infinityKL, post: 284861, member: 5054"] hi, Im having the exact same problem wt my ride(1997, E36-328i). The only difference will be my gearbox hangs ONLY when in "S" mode. Runs perfectly normal when in "E" mode. :stupid: Tried many shops for opinion's, only got 1 answer....OVERHAUL!! I was still sceptical about it, if the gearbox is working fine on "E" mode wt smooth changes no matter how hard i push the car???Did the diagnostic's a couple of times and all different results(similar) on the computer, here are few, 1. ERROR: Speed Control Sensor 2. ERROR: Gear Monitoring Faulty So, after checks and all that, replaced wt new Speed Control Sensor for RM400.. Drove up & down Genting all the way in "S" mode, no problems at all. Felt the torque and gear changes were smooth. However this was more than a year ago!! Recently the problem is coming back when i drive in "S" mode....:eek: Did a check, and same ERROR reply again...Im still wondering why it only happens when in "S" mode?????:stupid: QUESTION: What was ur mechs advice?? any quotes?? Will be great to share some views before i go for the last choice of overhaulin or rebuild the box, which is not cheap... Those who have encountered and solved the problem pls share some info... YES and PLS, a small introduction will be nice. CHEERS:smokin: THX :top: [/QUOTE]
