So I rebuilt and replaced the tcase on my auto 325ix. Got everything back up and on. Came to realize half-way through the entire process that when I took the strut brace off of the tcase and everything tilted down/forward, the weight of the transmission/engine rested on the bowden cable and bent it horribly.
I thought, whatever, we straightened it out and got everything back on and came to find that it didn't shift at all and seemed to be stuck in park.
Honestly we kind of knew this was come as we started putting the driveshafts back in and tried to push the car to turn the discs so we could tighten them in and the car would only roll back/forward maybe a foot total.
I've been racking my brain and the internet, my bentley, and my far more experienced e30 owner/mechanic buddy for some sort of solution but have found nothing short of taking everything back off and replaced the cable and all the associated hardware.
