Yeah, I know I'm off topic, but I can't find a decent BMW bbs to post questions to and I have noticed that a lot of you guys, like me, are into the beemers as well.
My 2000 328i (with only 40k miles) has developed a clunk whenever you let of the gas. I have found a TSB concerning this problem called A/T - GM5 Clunk Noise Group 24 Automatic Transmission 24 09 98. It involves replacing the Output Flange and Spring Washer to fix the problem. The dealer wants $520.00 to do it. Anyway, Just wondered if any of you guys have experienced this and if so if anyone as attempted the repair themselves. Thanks. |

try searching over at www.roadfly.org/bmw
they have a good set of bmw forums, the format isn't as nice, but the search function usually works well, and alot of knowledgable guys are over there. Tony |

I checked the recall bullitin for that year & model. Nothing pertaining to the output flange. Only recalls were for unduly sensitive air bag system. (I guess you can't yell at it or it cries or something... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ) And the brake lamp switch could fail. (well the tires could go flat too but.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) sheeez... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

I checked out Roadfly and, yeah, they all do it and the concensus seems to be either fix it or live with it. I think I have fewer problems with my 30 year old 914 with 110k miles than I do with my 4 year old BMW with 40k miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Roadfly sucks, IMHO. Try e46fanatics.com or www.bmwboard.com. You will notice a difference between the boards, but that adds to the knowledge base.
