Hi everyone,
Been on bimmerforums for a long time but just joined r3vlimited especially after seeing that you have a dedicated forum channel for the IX. Glad to be here.
I'm about to drop the transmission on my 88IX 5spd as it feels like the release bearing is catching on the sleeve or something. It's been a problem that the car has had since I brought it back to life last year after sitting for 5 years. The clutch still bites good but I'm not going to put a used clutch back into the car.
My question for you guys is... Besides the clutch, release bearing and maybe flywheel (hopefully just a resurface), what other parts should I change while the transmission is out? Perhaps all the bushings with the shifter, rear main seal, etc?
Any advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
