jkjk
yeah prob lol ..umm trying to swap a non vanos m50 into the car hopefully

[waterboy174]

wow.....like rain in the summer

[Found94]

YOU DID THIS 3 TIMES ON THE SAME ENGINE???? How do you even do that? That seriously takes skill, just saying.

Learn the back hand shift. No problems here...

[bmwrx7boy]

the car was in need of that shifter bushing ..it felt really loose..and not having a stock shift knob ...had a pep boys one that came off all the time fucked me all up

[coconutmnky]

yeah prob lol ..umm trying to swap a non vanos m50 into the car hopefully
Don't do that, keep it vanos. That you its a direct swap and you don't have to worry about ECUs and crap

[Toby B]

piston pin- boss failure. ooch. bettit made some noize!

[Bobby Bonko]

Start shifting like this

[Dantesboyz]

saw your other thread about swapping motors, now i know why. but i second that you should replace the engine with the same vanos model.

[Go3Go]

damn man, that's rough...

[bmwrx7boy]

im only swaping a non v because i cant find any other motor and i need my car to get to work and the non v im getting is very cheap

[coolx7]

why dont u use the non vanos bottom end with the vanos head. i think buying just the head with the vanos unit maybe cheap. could save u some money and work there.

[joey79]

Shifter bushings would have been cheaper, dumbass.

[cmybimmer]

^Love it.

[tlamm]

This just means you upgrade to a s50. You know you want to.

[skeo]

Not to be an ass, but how the hell does someone miss a shift like that? I've been noticing it's an e36 thing...

ohh well ;) s- happends

[joey79]

Yeah, apparently it happends 3 times.

[EuroPhreak07]

ohh well ;) shit happends
I like your attitude about it.

[zdy328i]

wow that is crazy, sorry it happened to you man, good luck with the upcoming engine swap. Please post pics and build thread if you care to, i would love to see it.

[myblackcar]

Your piston separated from the shaft!? Holy Batman!

[darkhorrus]

Well.. THAT is bad.... dunno what else to say lol. I almost moneyshifted once but I was letting the clutch out slow and saw it go up to 5k so I clutched back in =P

[BMWMPow3r]

well. You should probably invest in some tranny mount enforcers and refresh you shift linkage, maybe with a dssr or ssk while you replace the motor. unless you want to make it a hobby of replacing motors.

[dieselbro]

Wow that is some intense damage! Keep us posted with how the swap goes.

[Found94]

ohh well ;) shift happens

:stickoutt fixed







:shifty

[Shadetree930]

Ouch

[bmwrx7boy]

lolol thanks guys

[coolx7]

so anything beyond 5k revs is bad for m50's ?

[bmwrx7boy]

7k lol

[IhaveanE36]

I dont know why everyone is being a dyke about it. You have a positive attitude and thats all that matters. Get the cheaper motor in there if it'll do the trick and get you outta the hole. You'll be back up and running in no time! Also, you should POSSIBLY do what most people suggest if you have the money and time.

In the future, try not to be a racey/hard driver, it'll avoid all of this.

Good luck.

No, all you have to do is shift correctly like the technique link I posted on page one.

wont happend again promise :) im going right now to see how much these bushings are since im doing everything to this car now ......

[MParallel]

How can you moneyshift from 3 going to 2? Unless you did this while being at the redline in 3, I can't see this happening. The rev difference between 2 and 3 isn't that great.

I understand money shifting from 5 to 2 instead of going into 4, but from 3 to 2...

[Bobby Bonko]

I would guess the OP had topped out 3rd and wanted to shift to 4th but went to 2nd = kaboom or rattle rattle rattle.

this guy is right . remember this is the 3rd time doing it ..yes full redline at 3rd right back down to second gear

[MParallel]

Ha yes, that makes sense.

But still, 3 - to - 4 is straight down, second is down-left.

[Bobby Bonko]

This the problem with the shifters on these cars. 2nd and 4th are easily mistaken for each other if not using the correct shifting technique.

I find the shifter naturally sits to the left so when pulling down from 3rd to 4th it kind of wants to go into 2nd naturally.

If that is the case, I'd check all the linkages and bearings and stuff. The shifter should be dead in the middle when in neutral.

[GTRSv]

fuckin sucks dude

[Krisp 808]

Ouch.

[paniolo]

The engine mounts and trans mounts get worn and under WOT the torque rotates everything to the right a little. So you think you are going straight down into 4 ... BUT NOT :( You guys wondering how in the hell you could do that just better be hoping the karma monkey isn't looking over your shoulder.

[Shadetree930]

ouch

[iwannabeam3]

soo when you realized it was revving beyound gods will why didnt you push the clutch back it or slap it outta gear? better to look like a retard then buy a new motor

[Calypsocoupe96]

DAMN!...... the kaos that went on in that cylinder. Did you ever find the piston?

[imperialboy]

oh god..

[silverm3bmw]

Meh, doesnt look like a big deal. Just throw the head back on. You will get better mileage from 5 pistons than you would with 6 anyways. :D

[bmwrx7boy]

............yeahh

[Mark@EAC]

ouch. Sorry to see this.

[Corky325]

Im guessing it was motor/trans mounts, not linkage bushings. How would loose bushing cause the shifter to torque the gear selector...into second gear?

Funny any MT I used the shifter naturally sits to the right, between 3rd and 4th.
