I recently purchased a 1990 BMW 325i 5-speed...and I have been driving it for a few days now and it occasionally slips out of first gear...at first, it kind of startled me...I was in the process of making a left turn with oncoming traffic and it slipped so I had to regroup and get it back in gear and complete my turn. This kinda made me think of the possibility of getting into accident...I want to know if the problem is with the clutch or should I simply change out the shifter????? Getting into each gear is also burden, as it takes quite an effort at times to stick it into gear, whether it be 1st or second or 3rd....this is my first BMW and my first car I have ever got pre-1996....should I be aware of any potential problems down the line........
