[QUOTE="pussy, post: 329655, member: 60"] Ha !! the famous e34 gremlins.. here is some solutions to your problems and nightmare: 1. I feel hot when touching the area below the gearknob, the black leather part, where inside the car is very cold(at night with air-con working), my QUESTION IS: is it normal to feel hot there? [B]Normal, unless your rubber gaiter seal is crack or torn, the heat from the engine or exhaust gets in.[/B] 2. and the gear often hard to engage(clutch pedal stopper removed), especially 2nd shift 1st shift sometimes(stand still) hard to engage also, other gear smooth...Any ideas??? Hard Engagement happens regardless of the engine is cold or hot [B]If that is the case, here might be the problems: 1. clutch is wear'ed off; 2. clutch pump or slave pump leaking; 3. or the gear lever/selecter rod bushes is worned, need to replace.[/B] 3. And sometimes when i release the clutch, (the moment i release the clutch and the gear engage) i hear a sound from the back, is tat final drive problem!? [B]yes, most likely or the axle bush is torn or the longshaft is loose(normaly is vibration when you drive off) [/B] 4. Sometimes i hear pinging when i lug the engine(especially uphill) is tat normal? currently trying some caltex techron hope to get internal cleaning... [B]what engine is yours? M50 vanos or non vanos, if non vanos the engine does not have a knock sensor, where else the vanos has 2 nos. could be the sensors kaput. if yours is a 2.0 it tends to ping. also can be your be fuel regulator, injectors(leaking) dirty, clogged fuel filter, anything to do with your fueling... need to bring to the mechanic. [/B] hopefully this helps.. [/QUOTE]
