Symptoms over years indicated a failing GPS on my SMG tranny. Some days only gears 2,5, and 6. Other days worked well with ALL gears. Heat of Summer seemed to make it worse.
I bought guaranteed working used GPS.
We tilted the tranny down for access and, installed the "new" GPS using DIY on forum. We replaced all springs and detents (wear items) on Driver's side.
items 5 through 10 on this schematic:

Current Symptoms:
1) Car shows a FLASHING N and will not even turn over. Battery is full. Disconnected and reconnected the battery. Same results. No start
2) I should be able to shift into second gear at rest. Can not shift into 2nd gear.
3) If I push the spring loaded shifter to go from S to D, the car kicks into a flashing N. Not right.
I have INPA 5.0.6, which I barely know how to use. DO I NEED AN EARLIER VERSION?? I have the correct USB to OBD cord. I can get IPNA to display some readings but can NOT figure out how to bleed my clutch or Run Gear Adaptation program. I cant even find the page for that. Pretend I am a dummy with coding and walk me through adaptations, step by step. Actually don't need to pretend, I AM a dummy with coding.
Bleeding the clutch would be nice too. Clutch is good, BTW. The car shifts GREAT when the old GPS decided to work. Now, the car will not even START!
SHALL I JUST GET BMW GT1 SOFTWARE? I read that it will perform the SMG GPS Gear Adaptation just fine. How do I get that software online for my Windows 10 HP M4?
Or do I have a faulty used GPS? We can try to install my first GPS and see what happens, I REALLY do not want to have to borrow $$ to buy a new BMW $850.00 GPS
I think we should at least try and run gear adaptions. My BMW software is on a HP M4 windows 10 laptop. I had Bc Cables in the UK send me DVD disks full of INPA and other software and the proper USB to OBD cable to me.
If I I don't have the PROPER version of INPA, I will buy another online immediately. Which one? I can get my INPA to give me some INFO on my SMG, but cant seem to get it to DO anything. .INPA would never indicate if my GPS was not working when the GPS would stop working for 5 days at a time. The GPS would just start working again on its own, but was NOT working most of the time recently.
We replaced the Crank position sensor and the temp sensor, both under the tranny suffering little fluid loss. We re connected the wiring.
