You do know that the trans is supposed to get hidden under the car where it will get dirty again right?

[Earl]

Finally motivated myself to get something done yesterday.

I wasn't liking how the trans was looking with how clean I could get it so I decided to paint it with high temp flat aluminum paint.

I got everything as clean as I could and masked everything off.



I then sprayed two coats of paint after waiting about 15-20 minutes in between the coats. Turned out pretty decent=)





I will paint the detent spring plate when I remove it to go the springs and I will clean up the output flange as well. Now I just need to swap out the seals and springs and it should be good as new.

[K-Line]

ALL NEW EVERYTHING! Perfect as usual Earl!

[Earl]

First box of transmission refresh parts came=)



I will need to sand on the selector rod joint just like the shift lever because BMW released a new design with a wider bushing to eliminate the little yellow washers.

[Earl]

Picked up the flywheel yesterday after work=) Don't mind the stain on the friction surface. It happened when the flywheel was cleaned after being resurfaced. You cannot feel it on the surface so it won't harm anything.


I also got some parts back from powdercoat.

I don't have a preference but I have been using straight simple green.
