SMG Help

[greypride]

mine is a 04 reg with 53k on it.. only had it a few weeks
looking through the paperwork and history of it, no more than 4k miles ago it had all sorts of bits replaced on the SMG:
- relay for the pump
- selector sensor
- pressure sensors x2 (for which they took the gear box out to be able to fit them!!)
- the ECU
- and the slave cylinder.... i reckon they were replacing everything without having a clue what they were doing
now its had the motor i think it all sorted

so, i'm now hoping it'll give me as much trouble free motoring as you've had

That's great news. To be honest i think there was some association with the SMG and large bills if they go wrong. Hopefully this goes to show that the fix can be done yourselves at a reasonable cost!

agreed, £220 for the part, delivered and i know i'm lucky, £120 to my mate for fitting...
i did read somewhere that BMW uk charge £3700 for the motor alone!! or am i dreaming??
