hi i have a 98 318ti w a 5 speed transmission and i have had this problem for quite some time now and asked around about what people think it might be and havent gotten one exact answer. but this is what is happening. all my gears are fine and work all the way through the rpm range. however when i try to shift into third gear it kicks out UNLESS you are accelerating and you have to keep a little pressure on the shift knob (push forward a LITTLE) ive never torn into a transmission or really know how they work to be completely honest but i do have tools and internet for research.

anybody know whats going on? why is it kicking out?
