STARTER
Starter troubleshooting
Typical starter wiring terminal identification is shown. Large
wire at terminal
30 (not shown in photo) is direct battery volt-
age. Smaller wire at terminal
50 operates starter solenoid via
ignition switch.
If starter turns engine slowly when ignition is in start position:
Check battery state of charge.
Inspect starter wires, terminals, and ground
connectlons
for good contact. In particular, make sure ground connec-
tions between battery, body and
englne are completely
clean and tight.
If no faults are found, starter may be faulty and should be
replaced.
- If starter fails to operate, check EWS (drive-away protection
system). Try another ignition key.
If no faults can be found,
have the EWS system checked using
BMW scan tool equip-
ment.
Checkclutch pedal operated
starter lock-out switch or gear
position switch (automatic).
NOTE-
* A factory-installed drive-away protection system, also re-
ferred to as
EWS, is used on E39 cars. This system pre-
vents operation of the starter if a specially coded ignition
key is not used.
On cars with automatic transmission, the transmission
gear position switch signals
EWS to prevent the engine
from starting in gear positions other than PARK or NEU-
TRAL.
On cars with manual transmissions, a starter immobiliza-
tion switch
at the clutch pedal is used to prevent the starter
from operating unless the clutch pedal is pushed fully to
the floor.

Tool for bleeding clutch hydraulics (Tool No. 21 5 030)
21 5 030 I
The clutch is hydraulically actuated by the master and slave
cylinders. With the self-adjusting clutch
(SAC), clutch disc
wear is automatically taken up through the self-adjusting
pressure plate springs, making pedal feel consistent through-
out the life of the clutch.
A soft or spongy feel to the clutch pedal, long pedal free-play,
or grinding noises
from the gears while shifting can all indi-
cate problems with the clutch hydraulics. In these circum-
stances it is best to
star? with a clutch fluid flush, followed, if
necessary, by replacement of the hydraulic parts.
NOTE-
The clutch hydraulic system shares the fluid reservoir and flu-
id with the brake hydraulic system.
Clutch hydraulic system,
bleeding and flushing
If the clutchlbralte fluid is murky or muddy, or has not been
changed within the last two years, flush the system and
change the fluid. Flushing the old fluid from the clutch lines is
done using a bralte system pressure bleeder.
- Remove brake fluid reservoir cap. Using a clean syringe, re-
move brake fluid from reservoir. Refill reservoir with clean
DOT
4 bralte fluid.
Worlting inside engine compartment, remove left
interiorven-
tilation filter housing:
Release 3 plastic taps
(A) on duct. Earlier models use a
single release latch.
Rotate duct inward to remove.
Disconnect electrical harness to hood position switch.
Remove filter housing cover.
Release spring lock
(B) on interior ventilation housing and
remove housing.

Anach pressure brake bleeder to fluid reservoir and pump
bleeder a few times to pressurize hydraulic fluid system.
CAUTION-
* Do not exceed 2 bar (29 psi) pressure at the fluid resenfoil
when bleeding or flushing the hydraulic system.
Brake fluid is poisonous, highly corrosive and danger-
ous to the environment. Wear safety glasses and
rub-
bergloves when working with brake fluid. Do not siphon
brale fluid with your mouth. Immediately clean away
any fluid spilled on painted surfaces and wash with wa-
ter, as brale fluid will remove paint.
Always use new brake fluid from a fresh, unopened
container.
Brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air.
This can lead to corrosion problems in the clutch and
brake hydraulic systems, ;nd will also lower the brake
fluid boiling point. Dispose of brale fluid properly.
- Raise and safely support vehicle.
WARNING-
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift orjackstands designed for
the purpose. A floor
iack is not adequate support.
- If necessary, remove transmission splash shield.
Hydraulic system, bleeding
Worlting underneath transmission, connect a hose from
clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve
(arrow) to a container.
Open bleeder valve and allow bralte fluid to expel until
clean fluid comes out, free of air bubbles.
Close bleeder valve and disconnect pressure bleeding
equipment from fluid reservoir.
Slowly operate clutch pedal about
10 times. Fill reservoir
with clean fluid as necessary.

Self-adjusting clutch (SAC), breaking in
With normal driving, 800 to 1000 gearshifts are required to
break in the clutch.
Break in the SAC gradually, with light to medium loads, to en-
sure correct operation and long life. Fast sports driving ma-
neuvers may destroy a new
clutch.The following break-in
procedure helps to create the correct coefficient of friction.
Drive normally on level grade. Starting speeds on level
grade may be up to 2000 rpm.
Upshift and downshift through all the gears at 3500
- 4000
rpm.
On medium grades (approx. 12% and up), start
off at ap-
prox. 2500 rpm for the first 5 or so times.

Manual Transmission
- Unbolt clutch slave cylinder from side of transmission. Do not
disconnect fluid hose. Suspend slave cylinder from chassis
using stiff wire.
CA UTIOG
Unbolt clutch slave cylinder slowly to prevent air being
drawn into hydraulic system.
. Do not operate clutch pedal with slave cylinder re-
moved from transmission.
4 Put BMW special tool 11 7 370 or appropriate sized spacer
between engine oil sump and front axle support. Lower trans-
mission until engine is supported on spacer.
0 V-8 vehicle: Turn front wheels to prevent strain from being
placed on center tie rod.
All vehicles: Tilting the engine to lower the transmission
can lead to damage to various components due to lack
of clearance at rear of engine. Lower transmission
slowly
- Support front of engine with floor jack.
4 Disconnect shift rod from selector shaft coupling
- Disconnect shift console from top of transmission. See 250
Gearshift Linkage.
6-cylinder: Remove transrnisslon mounting Torx-head bolts
(arrows). Note length and locatlon of bolts.
Remove
transrnlssion by pulling backward untll transmls-
sion Input shaft clears clutch d~sc spl~nes, then pull down-
wards. Lower
transmlsslon jack to remove transrnlsslon. -
