I'd start by getting under there and looking for obvious things first. Perhaps a torn flex disc, loose bolts, worn/damaged bushings etc. Before coming here and asking questions, it helps to take a minute and look. The problem may be right in front of you. I don't know if people are just too lazy, scared to jack up their car, pop their hood or whatever the deal is, but it seems like people come here expecting us to be mind readers. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 11-15-2008, 09:55 PM | #3 | Banned Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: los angeles Posts: 80 | already did that and had the tranny serviced. even the tranny people dont know if its the tranny or the differential. ps if your gonna be an ass then dont reply and ignore the thread. youre not helping. the site is all about helping each other as a community in which case the benefit of the doubt should be given that most obvious things have been done prior to the inquiry in the thread instead of assuming that people who ask are often lazy. but then again, i guess 2 years in College would do that to your personality | | | 11-16-2008, 02:45 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | i would be careful if i was you. Jess is god on the Ti community having him on your side is good. Also he lives in cali as well so sooner or later you might need his help. He's not trying to be an as$ it's just that some questions are vague and expect an answer when the readers are confused. He was just trying to clear things out, in his own way.

I found it. This is the Ti this emeffer sold me with the bad ****ing transmission or something, but who's to believe this dude if he did have it fully checked. My BMW mechanic says I have to replace the whole tranny, let it breakdown completely, bring it in and replace it. This punk posted here as this 8thcivic - He said he was on here as M332TI... current email is in reference to a dorky Odyssey he said he got for his wife after he sold me the '96 silver ti Auto... the one he's posting he's got problems with the effing transmission.. Now do you all believe me? Now you understand my anger? Here's my complaint thread about this auto '96 sold to me: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29079 And there's this now... karma's a bitch...

Your next step is to print out this thread as well as any other info you have proving it's the same car(remember he had two or three Ti's) and that he knew about the transmission problem prior to selling it to you. Then you can take him to small claims court. Steven the site owner can verify that this guy has two accounts and resolve that issue. Nobody owes you an apology except maybe 8thcivic aka M332ti, but then again he can always say that he told you it had issues or he fixed it prior to selling it. Unless he gave you an expressed written warranty or some sort of gaurantee(which I don't see why anyone selling a 14 year old salvage title'd car would), then you're probably SOL. Take him to small claims court, you have a better case now than you did a few months ago.

Just be for warned that there are people like this. I am not like this person and all along I have been straight up about what happened, there you go. If you need this person's full name, I have that too, PM me.

The tranny-slipping ti this dude sold me? No, I'll just drive it until it fails. I have fixed a few things, suspension, nasty rack/pinion leak, oil pan leak, which it still has another little one, may be the pressure from the tranny, not sure...something's leaking, just one little drop and its not water. The interior is basically factory stock now, I had to replace parts, I need the rear tire tray and all that stuff. I need a rear cover and it needs a paint job because my whole driver side is flaking from the cheap paint that was used, its all swirly. I'm not a tuner or making it a sleeper, I'm just a regular person and I like BMWs stock and if tuned - OEM M performance, no halo/angels, no clears, no cheesert of that sort. Anyway, I think I proved my case. Good luck with your ti's. Next time... listen to the customer, they are always RIGHT. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
