<<I am having a problem shifting into 2nd gear, especially when the car is cold.>> CJ, the 84' 318i's had a few trans. quirks. It would help to know which OEM you have in your car. Check the bell housing for the manufacturer's stamp. You should see either "ZF" or "Getrag". Let me know. Regards, Jeff 93 318iS (3) 84 318i's
