Who sees it.?

Just a little update on this.

I got it bolted up and woah, my poor exhaust was the only thing holding it.

If you found this you should do some more slow searching around for other things that are out of place , not bolted up correctly, at wrong angles and so forth.

Better to find out being stationary than at 60 mph going down the road.

+1, I would think that would have been pretty noticeable. Who knows what else the PO left loose.

Happened to me once years and years ago with my second E30.

Noticed my shifter whomping back and forth in the tunnel hole and thought 'Oh WTF, what now.'

dat's some Chris Angel Mindfreak shit!

That sucks, but the only thing I have going through my mind is "I'm curious about how the shifter feels... And looks... Bet that thing flops around like a big ol donkey penis..."

Lol the shifter isn't lose at all. Maybe the tranny flops around like a big ol donkey penis tho

[illest318i]

Whoa !

the only thing holding the back of the tranny up is the down pipes and driveshaft !

I couldn't believe it myself at first.. Had me thinking how long have I been driving this thing like that. PO that bastard.! Glad I noticed it before it was too late.

You not getting any serious vibration?

Hmm vibrations not really. I do notice when I shift I hear something wobbleing though, always wondered what that was. Hopefully once I get this bolted that noise will go away.

Will keep you notified.

Thank you guys for the help. On my way to the hardware store and get what I need.

[illest318i]

stresses the csb & guibo. I wonder how long its been like that. iirc they're either 13mm or 15mm. Id spring the extra cents for some nylon locking nuts also.

I'm wondering the same, I should've checked it sooner. The PO did a lot of things Mickey Mouse. I'm waiting to see what other surprise I find :/

Thanks for the reply :)

Just for shits and giggles I looked it up on realoem, all it says is m8

Pretty sure they're m8 as well, don't know the thread pitch but probably 1.25.
