Never caused a problem in my vette or the Camaro before it. So now maybe I have to unlearn that bad habit. Pretty sure that was the culprit... Don't want to do that again - can't be good for a tranny, clutch or motor when up at 6K rpm and WOT.....

The second time when it happened, my hand was resting, but probably putting next to zero forward pressure on it.. here's my theory: Because the gears are turning, any light pressure you put on the shifter (ie, not enough to push it out of the gate) is enough to get it HEADING in that direction.. and as the gears are moving, they "walk" themselves out. All it takes is a gentle nudge to move the gears from "we're happy here" to "we're starting to move apart" .. because I know I sure didn't put nearly enough pressure on the shifter to shift out under normal conditions.. but maybe under stress it's enough. This has only happened when going WFO.. at least for me. Then the shifter "jumps" out of gear. - reid > Oh.. that reminds me.. my hand was sometimes also on > the shifter when it popped out.

Scared the crap out of me both times and the sound was enough to make me sick. It was suggested by listers that I upgrade the tranny bushings, so I did, and I am happy to report that it has never happened again. I purchased the UUC tranny bushings and enforcers for around $70 and installed them in less than an hour. Much more positive shifts, and no more terrible thunking as the car jumps out of gear.

I haven't pulled mine on the M3 but have on my son's 325 which is basically the same. It was easy to get lose but couldn't remove from the radiator without removing the fan. Fortunately we were installing the metal pump on his as a preventive measure so had to remove the fan anyway. If I remember, Bentley says remove the fan as well.

#9. Popping our of gear - from eevans@planetc.com
Top
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 21:56:52 -0400 From: eevans@planetc.com Subject: Popping our of gear Hi, I have a '95 w/70K on her and sometimes when I'm getting ready to shift if feels like the shifter was just barely in the present gear. It feels like all I have to do is touch the shifter and bam I'm out of gear. Some of this is do to pilot error, I may not have the clutch fully engaged, but it's very disconcerting when it jumps out of gear w/ a mere touch to the shifter stalk. It doesn't seem to happen very often, but when it does it's kind of scary. Can you have the car in a gear only partially or is that impossible? That's kind of what I would equate it to. It's just like I barely have in gear and only a slight touch will make it pop out of the that gear. I just have to be very vigilant about making sure I have it fully in the gear of choice. I hope I'm not gradually wearing out the syncro. That's my two cents worth. Evan

It's sort of like telling your three little brothers they can have your Boy Scout tent you grew out of for a good price, then putting it on Ebay for them to bid against the rest of the neighborhood. I think its inappropriate to make "list friends" bid against each other for something. I suggest that one offer their item for the price they want to the list. If they get no takers in 3-4 days, tell people you've put it on Ebay at a (possibly reduced) Reserve price. Or better yet, put it on Ebay with a "Buy it Now", and then post to the list. If you don't get any list takers at your Buy It Now price, you may still get a public taker. I'm sure some other protocol variation might be an improvement, but one thing is certain, if every list member posted their Ebay ads, this list would eventually degrade to us spamming each other with ads, and it could start to suck.
