Delete auto tranny cooling lines?

[browntown]

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch about how BMW designed everything right the first time, hear me out. The automatic transmission in my car will be trash by the end of the year. Further, I never drive my car so use will be minimal. I'm under orders to not do the m90/manual tranny swap till after the wedding (June). Until then I'm cleaning up the engine bay to make pulling the m20 easier when the time comes.

Sooo, will capping the tranny cooling lines do instant harm or are they just the normal over-engineering common on our cars?

your tranny will go kooboommmm....short drive will be fine but not for a long drive. i recommend you leave it alone if you plan on driving it.

Leave the lines alone until you do the 5-speed swap.

ok, ok, you guys are no fun. I should just build up an old camaro. I hate all the spaghetti in the engine bay. Delete it all! I could still carburete the mofo.

You'd still have to have cooling lines if you had an auto.

Just run it w/out the cooling lines and ship the blown trans to me. /Done!
