Subject: <E21 and 02> Transmission R&R
A few pointers others may find helpful when replacing a 2002 or 320i =
transmission......
- I made aligning studs that were inserted into the lower right and left =
threaded bolt holes of the engine bellhousing. This eliminated the need =
to simultaneously "benchpress" the tranny while trying to align the =
input shaft splines with the clutch disc.I made the aligning studs by =
cutting the heads off 10x90 (1.5 pitch) bolts. Use cut-off tool or hack =
saw to cut slots into end of bolt where the head had been removed to =
provided a slot for a flat blade screwdriver.=20
- After mangling a new selector rod seal by trying to install it using a =
deep socket....I purchased the proper tool from Ultimate Garage. =
Considering the seals are $6+/ea..... it doesn't take many to justify =
the cost of the proper install tool.
- Removal of the old selector seal should be done to avoid scratching =
the selector rod. Even the slightest burr on the selector rod will chew =

tool as a hardened pick/awl or narrow flat head screwdriver that he bent =
a small hook or "L" onto the end of.....so that he could force it =
through the front face of the seal and then hook it and pull outwards. =
Insert so that the hook face away from the selector rod to avoid damage.
