May have figured out my problem, however, I am confused.

Maybe I have a 4hp22eh... the electric version. I dont remember seeing a place for an electric plug, but it seems the electric version engages gears electronically..???

None of the NA cars had the eh trans. The only reason the touring does is because it's an euro model.

The glovebox latch in the 335 broke today. Got it to open once, but that was it. Oh well.

John I am about to strip a late model, the muffler is nice and solid. I will get ahold of you when it is all apart

Okay so my lame brain idea is out.

When the torque converter is installed correctly, should it be able to freely spin? Thats how mine was, and I could of swore I had it on all three sets of teeth

BUMPERS?!?!?!?! :hitler:

Not a full strip, just everything related to the drivetrain haha

Darn it....There was a "free" boat on craigs list I missed out on. Rats! I need to get out some more while the weather is nice...

Anyone on a sailing team?

5 toes....The TQ should be part of the "flywheel" - or the tooth gear.....

rule number one of taking stuff apart - take pictures.

A "free" anything is the most expensive thing youll ever own.

I don't sail but my brother races his J24 and Mumm 36

Strip that white 4dr already! :D

[5Toes]

No the torque converter slides into the transmission then bolts to the flex plate.. so I thought

I use to race in Santa Barbara - looking to crew here.....

[2mAn]

just going out on a limb here, but single big toe, do you have a bentley?

[5Toes]

Yes I have a Bentley. It doesn't discuss installing the torque converter very much though.

Bought some rota grids a bit ago, tried fitting them. They don't fit over factory brakes. Spoke clearance is great, the hub is too big. Tried rx7 brakes, same thing. The caliper isn't far enough away from the hub. Just tried Massive's entry kit (oh what a debacle that was) I have the same issue. Fitment templete measurements were not in proportion. I'm tired of trying to get these wheels to fit the fucking car.

Does anyone have any 16x8 e30 wheels? At this point, I don't care much what they look like.
