    07/95 E36 ///M3
    After a 200mile trip and installing a new hd clutch kit on the car. Transmission had a slight wining noise to it at the start of the trip. Halfway into it, noise became a lil more noticeable, then on the way back, trans popped out of gear on the highway a couple of times.
    Still made it home like a champ, but the next day while driving it to work about 4miles in the drive it grinded every gear even with pedal pushed to the floor. Than transmission wouldn't go in neutral even if shifter was centered it would just stay in gear... tried to put it in reverse, and as i let go of the pedal it brutally jumped backwards.
    I m fearing the worst now.
    Anyone has an idea abt this?
    Btw its a 6 speed manual!

    I would say that if you didn't have an issue with the trans prior to the clutch change, then that is your problem. Next inspect the hydraulics as I think that you may have a secondary issue there. Normally you should be able to pull the trans into neutral when the motor off, so I am thinking that the clutch is binding.

    You might be right on this one sir!
    Put the car on lift and got it in neutral with clutch pedal in. While letting go of it, vibration and gear noises start making a come back. When fully off the pedal, wining and heavy shattering takes place.
    Pulling it all apart tonight.
    Thanks
