selector lever 97' 528i
~140,000 miles, maintained 1997 528i. When the weather gets snowy & icy, my cars transmission gets stuck in S 2, or second gear. It has done this for the past two years but usually goes away within a day.
Recently, it has been happening more frequently. I lifted the car and took the SELECTOR LEVER off, and while examining it I noticed a broken O ring and a few chips/dings in the peice. ( #13, 14, & 15 ---> http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...02&hg=25&fg=15) Although this didn't seem like the problem, I reattached the lever and tried putting my car in gear. The car would not go into any gear but park, and I can slide my shifter all the way from Park to Drive to #1 and it will not slip into any gear, basically being stuck in park. I found that the cable that is hooked to my shifter has completely slipped out of the selector lever and when I try to reattach the cable back into the lever, it slips out acting like it doesnt even belong their. I am not sure what I have done wrong, because I simply took the lever off and immediatly reattached it back onto the car. Has anyone else had this similar problem, or have any ideas on what to do?
