Knocking sound under shifter - my Transmission??
As of last night, my 2000 323i (70k miles) started making a knocking sound directly below the shifter. It's not really audible from outside the car, and is only happening when the car is in a low gear or is moving VERY slowly. The knock speeds-up in frequence the faster the car is going until it doesn't seem to make any more sound.
I just had Inspection 2 which included an Engine Oil Service at the dealership last week. Perhaps unrelated is my MPG status: it's gone down over the last three weeks from 27.3 to 25.2 (it went from 25.5 to 25.2 last night alone after filling-up with high-octane gas).
Any ideas where to look and what to expect?
