In this video we will install the new clutch, the resealed transmission, the rebuilt shifter assembly and a new exhaust system. Here's the reverse brake bleeder I'm using in the video: a.co/d/9tyXvS3
Can't believe how quick all this is coming together, def. one of my favorite channels. Should do an engine bay detail video when it's time, stoked for whats coming.
This is a awesome series! I love your approach on things. I’ve owned 5 e30s currently daily is a 88is I would have pulled the motor and trans as one. It would have saved you a lot of time and a lot easier I get to everything! Keep it up!!!!
Is that a single mass or dual mass flywheel? There are conflicting information about the original flywheel installed on E30. I have been trying to diagnose the clunking noise from my bell housing. Thanks!!
This is a great question, and honestly I had the same concern with my car. I had seen the conflicting information out there about dual mass/single mass flywheels used in E30s. My car ended up having the single mass flywheel. If my memory serves correctly, it was the early 325e's that had the dual mass flywheel, not the 325i's.
Thanks! Yeah, those seats are terrible. I haven't had any luck finding good replacements locally (Kansas City). I might have to go the recovering route on the ones I have. Either way, it won't be cheap.
Really love your videos! my only dislike is your music, but if thats all then your doing pretty good, you also have great taste in cars. well done sir.
I bought the Phoenix Systems V-5 off Amazon for about $50. The reviews are so-so on it, but I haven't had any real issues with it. I think it would work great for your application.
I'm at about $3200 in parts right now I think. I'm keeping a spreadsheet. Not all those parts have been shown in the videos yet though. I was hoping to keep the total spend, including purchase price ($1800), at around $5k. We'll see!
Great video again. I am trying to tighten my transmission output flange collar nut. Were you able to tighten it to 125 lbf⋅ft by just putting the transmission in gear? I tried put the transmission in 1st or reverse when I tried to torque it down to spec. However, it still cannot keep the output shaft from spinning. Thanks in advance.
You know, I couldn't get it to 125 ft/lb either. I ran it as high as I could (90-100 ft/lb I think) and then punched in the lock washer. I feel that was adequate as the splines are the ones taking the load, not the nut.
@@PracticalEnthusiastThanks for sharing. I thought my engine compression was too low to hold the shaft still. I eventually torqued the collar nut down to 125 lbf-ft by inserting two bolts into the output flange and wedging a long wrench between them to stop the output shaft from spinning. I pray that it will not leak and I will never do it again. PS I used anaerobic gasket maker. It is really great to know someone is going through the same E30 journey.
I put the video setting at half speed so I can kinda watch what he is doing. Makes him sound like he is on Ludes while the video can be twice as long... I don't watch the whole thing at that speed.
