Hi Guys

A question for your good selfs.

I have a 1990 325i Cab chromie.

Now the kick down from 3 to 1 works up to and including 30 mph.

I am sure it would kickdown from 3 to 1 up to 60mph in the past, now it it just kicks down from 3 to 2 from 35mph to 60mph.

Can one of you good guys clarify at what speeds the box should kickdown fom 3 to 1 and the 3 to 2.

Cheers

Chaps

Neil.

Kickdown to 1 up to 60mph? Are you sure? Seems awfully fast for 1st gear?
