ok got my key today
car runs ... on blocks with the wheels not touching the ground...
ha its funny but the shifter feels like im shiftin through the gears but when you turn it over it jumps like its in gear sooo...linkage issue? options please i cant find anyone with the same problem

also, the fuel pump isnt pumping so im thinkin a fuse but all the ones under the hood are good but i cant find the box inside the car im thinkin it might have a fuse for the pump but im too pregnant to get under there and look soo...where the hell is it!

Sounds like clutch to me...
Cannot help with the fuse at this time as BMW did have a laugh in that department just to make you contact the Stealers and get some bull !!

Does it "bang" thru gears? If YES then clutch or thrust bearing...
If it is difficult to disengage a gear then that could be linkage or internal selector worn (OR CLUTCH PLATE)..

Normally the fuel pump is control by a relay. if you have your fuse box open then the relay should be under yet anothe cover to the left of the fuse box that has three relays in it. the first one closest to your front bumper is the fuel pump relay. here you can test by putting a wire between the front middle opening and the right middle opening and fuel pump sure come on. if it dose then your relay is bad. Tranny check your slave cylinder also.

yea slave cylinder is bad it was kinda dangling under the car when i got it so im assuming they didnt know too much of what they were doing.. gonna check the fuel pump out today and also start taking the trans apart i think it may be the synchro cause the shift feels perfect and the synchro may be stuck in one maybe two gears..will check the clutch among other things while ive got it all apart..wish me luck and update me with any advice!

[Jack Dabsy]

The synchromesh is not able to lodge between two output cogs unless there is a disastrous failure inside the box !!
Did you inspect and re-fit the clutch slave cylinder?

[rampage601]

yea its missing the rod and the bolts had to order a new one waiting on it to come in

Hopefully another crime SOLVED, Sherlock !!
I would send the bill to the "Mickey-Mouse" mechanic !!!
