I have a 1990 535i 5sd. When shifting to third, if I depress the clutch all the way to the floor, it is difficult to get it into gear. If I depress the clutch only about one third of the way it goes into gear smoothly. Again this is in third gear only.


Doesn't sound good. Similar problem for me that required a new clutch to be installed (~$800.00). This is my second clutch that had to be installed.

Good Luck
