BMW 320i Manual Transmissions

As you know, your manual transmission allows you to change gears in your BMW 320i as you see fit. It keeps you more engaged with the rhythm of your drive than you would be with an automatic transmission handling matters for you.

How Your Manual Transmission Works

Your executive car features a flywheel that's attached to the engine's crankshaft. A clutch sits between the flywheel and a transmission input shaft. The clutch controls whether your transmission is connected to the engine or not. When you press your foot against the clutch pedal, the transmission disengages from the engine. That allows you to change gears as you wish. Release the clutch pedal, the clutch engages the transmission again, and power is restored to your drivetrain and wheels.

How to Spot Problems With Your Manual Transmission

Eventually, even the best transmission can start to act up. Signs of trouble include:

  • Grinding noises when you change gears
  • Problems changing gears
  • Unable to get into a specific gear
  • Transmission oil leaks
  • Weird noises such as squealing, thumping, whirring, or bumping
  • Your transmission keeps leaping out of gear
