C43 not recognising gears / some times noisey 3rd

[z4hid]

over the past weeks every so often my car doesnt recognise its in gear this only happens when im in neutral/park/standtill then put it in drive or 1st and it just seems to rev freely....any ideas? do i need 2 reset the gear box? if so how do i do this?


also when i work throught he gears and hammer it in 3rd and take my foot of the accelerator but keep it in 3rd gear theres a rattling noise which comes from aorund the gear stick.. this noise only occours when the cars over 3000rpm.. any ideas people?

all help and suggestions will be much appreciated....

doesnt sound good, doesnt sound like a MAF problem, think you need to get it checked out properly...

also get the gearbox checked and the gearbox oil changed, those gearboxes are prone to failure!

Sounds terminal to me....... sorry to say it.

i would also stop "hammering" it until youve got to the bottom of the problem.
