The goodie boxes...drive train refresh

[BimmerWill]

I just wanted to post this up as a place marker for a job I'm going to be tackling over the next couple of weeks. Parts just came in today and man is it heavy!

In total I will be replacing the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, rear main seal, differential carrier bushings, diff fluid, tranny fluid, shifter bushings, and the input and output seals on the transmission.

I will not be replacing the transmission mounts as they still look pretty good but I'll check them out when I get the tranny dropped.

I hope I've thought of everything I can do "while im in there" though I'm not sure my bank account could stand much more lol.

Here's a pic of the goodie boxes

That doesn't mean it "needs" replacing. That's a whole lot of coin for replacing something that doesn't usually fail. If he can afford it, great, but it doesn't "have" to be done.

From what I've heard based on some of the symptoms I've had it may be on its way out. It's just an in case item. If I don't need it then I'll be much happier but rather have it just in case.

If I don't need it then I'll just send it back. I have to send back a Meyle carrier bushing for the diff anyway.

Talk about a tough bugger to come out of there..

Good work

Thanks. Now I just gotta rig something up to get the two front ones out.

I did it the same way you did. My flywheel had a nice wobble on one of the discs. I checked the brand new one and the play was next to nothing. I opt to replace the flywheel since I felt it was the root of some intermittent chatter during idle.
