OK, I may be stirring up old (bad) blood here, but my 83 240D suddenly 'lost' the ability to go from 2-3 without severe grinding.
I have to double-clutch to get it in 3rd. This d-c method, however, does NOT work from 4-3!
Does this indicate that either my master or slave clutch is bad? (or is this my synchro? please say no.)
When I posted this a few months ago I got a lot of good, yet conflicting, advice. I have changed tranny fluid (Synthetic ATF, per the manual) and am now looking at the shift bushings. Is that even POSSIBLE that those could be my problem?
I am real eager to get this fixed as the d-c method is driving me nuts and I am only getting it maybe 3 out of 5 times without grinding!! ^@#$%!%
(My wife won't even try, just goes from 2-4...)
