"other car" advice..

["Hank Eskin" <heskin@xxxx>]

Hello All,

I ask (ok, beg!) the moderators to please let this through, as I am
travelling quite a distance from home, and need some real basic car advice.

My "other" car is a 1995 BMW 325i 5 speed with about 75k miles. Upon
arriving at my destination today, I noticed the clutch a little jittery upon
initial accelleration in first gear. I've had slipping clutches in other
cars, but this isn't it. It shifts and holds other gears just fine. When
I was parking, I noticed a low "rumbling" sound only when I had the clutch
depressed. As soon as I released the clutch (in neutral), the rumbling
disapeared. I've had the same "rumbling" in a previous car, but it was an
bad tranny when the clutch was engaged. I simply can't figure out what
could the problem be only when the clutch is depressed. If you have any
suggestions, please email me privately at heskin(at)bellatlantic.net. Thank
you all in advance!
