I am installing a new clutch and short shifter in my 85 318i, and I cannot even get the damn transmission out. Do I need to take out the differential or what? I took out every bolt there, but the flex disk is still holding it all up. I need to get the drive shaft out, but I don't know how. Help me soon, the sun is gone.

After removing the flex disc bolts, there is something else holding the driveshaft. The transmission flange has a centering pin that is about 1" long. The driveshaft has a hole in the end of it that fits over the pin. You must pull the driveshaft back to clear the pin. Remove the exhaust and the aluminum shield/brace under the tunnel. Then you can unbolt the driveshaft center bearing and drop the center part of the driveshaft. Loosen the sleeve clamp on the center joint of the driveshaft and slide it all the way together. That wiil allow the front of the driveshaft to clear the centering pin. It's best to go ahead and remove the whole driveshaft by removing the four nuts holding it to the differential.
Go buy a Bentley and see the light.
There is no reason to do jobs like this in the dark.John
