2011 E92 manual transmission shifting
Once the transmission warms up fully it gets harder to shift from first to second gear. Again only happens once the car fully warms. Anybody have this issue with the manual trans e90x? If so what fixed it?

Try using the suggested redline flluid from the redline oil site.
It will usuaully be D4 or D6 redlineoil.com There are many threads on this. Try a search on Redline here https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...hlight=redline |

The newish Redline MTL LV (for low viscosity) works well too. I have that in my 1-series and like how it shifts. For that matter, in a warm climate MTL works great too, but it will be hard(er) to shift in the cold.
But that said, getting HARDER to shift when the transmission is well warmed up is NOT normal. I don't think it's necessarily something to panic about though. And not much you can really do other than try a fluid change and see if that helps. Otherwise, you pretty much just need to wait for something to fail. I would suggest giving the clutch a GOOD bleeding while you are under the car anyway. I will stay out of the religious war that mentioning the CDV is likely to start.

In the manual transmission car the brake fluid and clutch fluid
share a split fluid reservoir but it isn't that split . This means to get new fluid in both they must both be bled. FYI. |
