Well, I lost the gearbox in my old '84 900GLi, an by coincidence found a '84 900i, instead of just a replacement transmission. The problem with the 900i is, when it gets to normal operating temp. i have problems with 5'th gear. When running the engine cold there is no problems, but when the engine is hot i can't get into 5ft. gear. It seems that the syncronisation in 2nd gear is bad as well when the engine is hot. Another question - the 900i has electronic fuel inj. afaik. compared to the mecanic injection in the older 900GLi - is there any cheap/quick ways to get a little more hp out of this engine?
