Just bought e46 with the smg my first smg and not realy sure how it should be shifting and how fast but seams a bit slow and it almost feels like if you press the clutch in a manual gearbox in automatic mode but in manual mode it seams to shift pretty quick any ideas
My daughter just bought a 2004 330i, 130K miles, single owner, with the SMG (I didn't do any research on the workings of the SMG in advance but it was a good deal) & I believe it has the same slow shifts you speak of in this video. I tried shifting in drive standard & sport as well as manumatic standard & sport but the same lag exists. Did replacing the springs fix the problem? Were there additional problems after the spring replacements, other than readapting the gear selector with the scan tool? Any ballpark pricing for just replacing the springs & components only from a shop like yours (time associated)? Thanks in advance for your help.
Under hard acceleration my M3 SMG won't shift into the next gear, and the motor kills the power until I let off the gas. I'm thinking my springs are broken...
great video, i tried to replace mine. Gearbox lowered, car on stands. It's damn near impossible to get that blind plug out. after 2 days of prying at that thing i dont think i moved it at all, could only get a small stubby screw driver up in there. Any tips? I ended up giving up because i'm not all that sure it's the cause of my issue.
Good work, nice to know

Mines, been having delayed shift, my only question, was his grinding during hard shifts?
yes spring went in mine i think the spring shaft turns then it breaks it .
