Could improperly installing a new exhuat system make your transmation not shift gears

check shifter linkage for improper installation

Sounds like the shifter linkage - the parts between between the shift knob in the car and the transmission outside the car - has been bent or misaligned. The alternator may have had a connector dislodged during service. Either way, I'd bring it back to whoever did the work and let them solve the problem.

Ceck fluid lvl in transmation and make sure you didn't spill oil on transmition shift senser

your clutch might be worn down and need a new clutch disk assembly or get your shifter inspected. also improper gear change could result to clutch malfunction. hope this helped

Did you check your transmation fluid and see if thats up to the mark.

I, feel sorry for you, after reading your problem, but don't worry you visit the Reliable-Store they will help you for sure. BMW 316 316i 1988 1991 Repair Service Manual PDF

Throw out bearing replaced? May be improperly installed. Does it come out of gear when you depress the clutch? Check the linkage at the ******, but be careful under the vehicle, chock wheels! Did you use an alignment tool when you installed all you new parts? Unless you opened the ******, the shift gears should not be affected by a clutch change.

Although Restoring is not a miracle cure it could help it last till can replace , Unless it's gone to far and the bands id shot , You might try changing the flouid and filter it could be stoped up and not allowing the fluid to run through the filter. This will cost arround $75 at a tranny shop. Good luck toy you.

P0732 - Improper Ratio for Second Gear.
P0734 - Improper Ratio for Fourth Gear.

This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by TCM as follows:

Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor B: Engine speed signal from ECM C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes

If the actual gear position is higher than the position (2nd and 4th) supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be more than normal. In case the ratio exceeds the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis malfunction.

This malfunction will be caused when shift solenoid valve B is stuck open.

Gear positions supposed by TCM are as follows. In case of gear position with no malfunctions: 1 , 2, 3 and 4 positions In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve B stuck open: 4* , 3, 3 and 4 positions to each gear position above.

Symptoms: Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Diagnostic trouble code A/T 2ND GR FNCTN with CONSULT-II or P0732 without CONSULT-II is detected when A/T cannot be shifted to the 2nd gear position even if electrical circuit is good.

Possible Causes:
- Shift solenoid valve B
- Each clutch
- Hydraulic control circuit
