stiff shifter (archive)

Hi all,

I'm the proud new owner of an '88 M5 with only 69k. The car appears to be in great shape and runs like a locomotive (as you all know).

One question for you knowledgable folks. The shifter (even after the car is well warmed up) is stiff. It's a real deliberate motion needed to go from 1st to 2nd compared to an E30 and E39 - which I know are very different animals.

Could this be a fluid level issue, or is it just the nature of the beast? What's your experience?

Thanks,
David
