E34 - 525i '90 - Cranky gearbox in the mornings

[premkraj]

Guys, My e34 525i(A) M20B25 was in very good condition until recently. Now whenever the engine is cold especially first start in the mornings, the 1st gear does not change until i push it to about 4000rpm. Once jalan a little bit, everything becomes smooth like nothing is wrong. Some say sudah koyak, some say need to just change oil & filter and so on. What should i do ? plan to keep the baby for a long time. Any advise and cost ????? Thanks guys

i suspect your maf sensor problem, not d gear box. get it diagnose.

Thanks buddy.

I told my foreman about it but he insists that's not the problem.

Any particular guy i can go to get an opinion without getting my throat cut ?

Around Subang/PJ area would be preferable.

Thanks for helping me out guys

dear crusher -

looks like you are based in Penang, how can i get my hands on your maf ?

dear mac,

how to clean sendiri lah bro, never put my hand in the engine bay before ?
any instructions bro ?

1st locate the maf, it's betw the air filter n the throttle body. remove the maf, spray the inside with maf cleaner, let it dry for a day. n install. remember to do a reset after that.
