BMW e23 build

[NegativeCamber]

how difficult was the 5spd swap regarding changing the pedals over? i plan on putting a 5spd into my e28 pretty soon

On a scale of 1 to 5 , it's a 2. It's pretty brainless,just time consuming disconnecting everything. Remove the front seat if it's too cramped to reach up under the dash when removing the bolts to the assembly.

Damn you and your 5spd lol missed the part on you building wheels. Any hints?

[NegativeCamber]

still waiting on the clutch kit and various parts. recieved some goods in the time being.




the rear main seal looks good but i will replace it while i am there.



removed trans cooler lines









shifter assembly disassembled, rust sanded down and painted with rust inhibitor

didnt get that much done this weekend, but i finally got the parts in that i needed. Long story short, will never buy from bavauto again. Autohausaz had what i needed to my door in two days.

did the rear main seal. brand new starter in there while i was at it.





got a package from the land down under.....slick aluminum shifter mounts. should stiffen it up according to others who have used them.







fresh fork, spring, pin, throwout bearing, slave cylinder, and trans mounts.





brand new flywheel and bolts. much lighter than the one that was on the donor car






i love my flywheel holding tool. pilot bearing installed as well.



clutch kit!





engine, meet trans....trans meet engine....now mate!



sensors back in their original locations and shifter assembly mounted.





reverse lights wiring snaked up front the trans.

[Jesus Christ]

Pffft who needs reverse lights?

But seriously, I'd be knuckle deep with you in there if I was on the west. Looks like it's gonna be awesome to drive around with.

Awesome!!! That's some good progress.
