It's so easy. You will need to drop the subframe down to get to the top bolts. Keeping the engine steady won't be an issue. It's still bolted in.

Blew out a disk, and now I can't feel most of my left leg. Dammit.

Hopefully I'll get the undercoating done on the rocker panels today. Might have to start looking for a new lip mines been ripped off so many times I'm running out of ways to mount it.

Simon, I've found this thread pretty useful and seems to be legit info..
http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=215361
As far as the starters go:
Early starters - Bigger than late ones, Two Threaded Posts and two spade connectors. One above the posts and one below them.
Late - Smaller than early ones, I believe they have 3-4 threaded posts and one spade connection? Correct me if I'm wrong!clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWD

Looking to settle a score with a "know it all" co worker.
Anyone have a 5SPD Transmission pulled out of their 325i (E30, duh) that they can take a measurement for me?
The arguement is that "Late" Eta Transmissions are "Deeper" than their 325iS Counterparts. The reasoning is the Late Eta came equipped with a Dual Mass Flywheel, as the 325i came with a single mass. The dual Mass is slightly larger in thickness compared to the single therefore it gets' a slightly deeper transmission to make up for it.
The 325i Transmissions should have a distance of 6 1/2" from the Slave Cylinder Mounting Flange (measured from inside the transmission) to the end of the bell housing.
The "Late" Eta Transmission (Which is what I have, and will measure when I pull it out tonight.) is supposed to measure out to 6 7/8" from the Slave Cylinder Mounting Flange (Measured from the inside the transmission) to the end of the bell housing.
I'd appreciate it and anyone that can help with photos and good measurements get a six pack from your boy. Help me out here!clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWD
