I'm looking at an e36 M3 to buy. When I drove this car it was near impossible to shift to 3rd gear when cold, instead it would go into 5th. When warmed up it was no problem. What is the issue here? I've heard this is common for e36 Ms. Thanks!

Happens to a lot of the zf transmissions. Have to pull the transmission to fix.
