Gathering parts for 5 speed conversion

[Digitalwave]

Already, well I already have every basic part that I need from an 87 325iS parts car. This is what I plan on replacing:

Clutch kit (clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out bearing)
Lighten the stock flywheel
Pilot bearing
All the shift linkage, including a shorter throw lever (got the part numbers for this)
Guibo
Center support bearing
Tranny mounts
Seals

Now, the seals are the main thing I am unsure about. Which seals will I need? Part numbers? Any other various parts? I know that Bill recommended the pressure plate bolts.

For those that think this is out of the blue, please see my other thread:

On Dave's stroker project, he replaced some seals while the tranny was out. You might want to check with that.

Engine rear main seal, transmission seals at input end and output as well as shifter seals.

[Bill 84 318i]

Get both new flywheel bolts and new pressure plate bolts. Also new exhaust gaskets, which are easy to forget.

Get a new pivot pin, and for peace of mind, release lever. I try to replace self locking nuts whenever I can as well.

For the rear main seal, don't forget a gasket for the seal carrier (which I think M20's have like M10's...but I don't have my ETK with me).

i have a 4.10 for you if ya want it.

[Digitalwave]

I already have 2 different 4.10's :)

I can't find a rear main seal, could it also be called the rear crankshaft seal? Around $10-15? And then the seal carrier gasket called the rear crankshaft housing gasket?

Ehxaust gasket is only for the manifold/cat connection right? Do M3's have the same gaskets? That's all I can find.

Exactly what he said regarding seals.


I'll be purchasing pretty much the same things soon for my clutch job - where you buyin all your stuff from?

BTW - you should get a SPEC Clutch... ;)
