no problem. want to buy a gearbox?

at what price? Funny story about that......

Apparently I might not need to buy one, my car's problem is loss of 5th gear detent instead of the trans eating itself. Fix is a bushing and seal kit, or so I'm told.

I might be able to go, depending on when Roland... I know e30s decently, and I could bring mine...

When are you available tomorrow?

Oh, just do the detent pin fix then. Much cheaper. I have the tools if you need to borrow them.

Go on.... what's this involve? How would this work as well as the seal/bushing fix?

[Roland H]

I'd talk to Mayfield. I haven't actually done it, but the parts are super cheap. The only annoying part about it is that the trans has to be out of the car so I hear.

Did he ever post a picture thread with his results from the fix? I can't find it.

That sounds like exactly the problem.

[blefevre]

For 1,500, as long as it runs and drives decent it would probably be a good buy.

Tomorrow, probably not much... Working from 9 till whenever... Best bet would be toward the end of the week or weekend..

Anyone have a vin decoder? I am looking at the 318is in Colorado Springs and wanted to see what options it came with. I am guessing no one has a car fax either but never hurts to ask. The guy got it when it was brought into BMW after a wreck and I wanted to see what kind of damage happend. I am heading down wednesday to check it out but want to be fully informed before I see it.

No it is a silver 2 door with e30 m3 front fenders on it. Looks a little riced out but I have a parts car so I can fix that...
