Alex 1 Great care must be taken if the flywheel is resurfaced. If the "Notch" for TDC is bumped, the flywheel must be re-worked, or replaced. 2 The pilot bearing at the back of the crankshaft is an open-face ball-bearing. Replace it with a double sealed one These are readily available under bearing #6201-2RS. If there's no auto supply or bearing house nearby, try an auto-electric shop as these are commonly used on alternators. 3 Always replace the "PLASTIC" pivot post the throw-out arm rests on. BMW # 21-51-1-202-659. 4 When installing the new "GEIBO" flex-disc at the output flange/driveshaft junction, place all of the bolts facing forward. Early books/procedures had half of the bolts facing rearward. Great idea, but when a nut got loose, the rearward facing bolts would bounce forward and chew up the transmissions, "LOKTITE" the nuts and bolts in place. 5 Replace the transmission mounts. 6 If the transmission is not leaking, don't replace the seals, just the fluid. I see 3-400k mile gearboxes all the time with no leakage, so don't have the mileage put you off. 7 Replace the shift platform mounts if the rubber cushions are showing their age.
