Live too close to forget and I got your number still.

[tyeetoo]

please contact me and let me know how the swap goes

Swapped my m42 in a 1991 318i and having to pull the engine and tranny again. Throw out bearing not functioning and the starter motor not engaging the flywheel. Ouch!!
Ready to pull the engine again and check the internals in the tranny housing. And bench test to make sure the flywheel engages the starter motor. Hard job for a 74 yr old but not giving up.

If possible, please email me at tyeetoo@yahoo.com or call 541-268-1025. I can use all the help possible. Hope your swap goes well. mike

[Gerta]

Hey thanks to all the R3v'rs who showed up to help! Lots of cool north enders and fun times! I wish I had recorded the shenannigans because some of that was just too damn funny ...
