Am struggling to get a manual gearbox off my 850i
Why oh why did they put small torx head bolts on the bell housing!!!!
One wrong turn and the head strips leaving you with the wolds largest pop rivet to remove.
Only two bolts left holding the gearbox on and they are the two bolts at the top of the gearbox. The manual says use a 50cm long driver with a UJ at both ends!! Now I understand why the bolts were stripped.
Manual says the engine won't come out with the gearbox. Anyone ever changed their own clutch on a decent sized beener and got any suggestions/sympathy?
