problem shifting gears... 700 85

posted by  someone claiming to be yonael on  Tue Feb 6 07:45 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello

I am having some difficulty in shifting gears (up or down) on my 740 gle. Shifting is fine in the beginning but starts getting difficult after, say, 40-45 minutes of town driving. Both the clutch and clutch cable are relatively new (under 6 months).

Change the trans fluid. Go with synthetic (redline, amsoil, etc), and shifting should improve.
