I need to replace a bushing and lock pin INSIDE the transmission...so wah wah.

lol that seems like a lot sean lol

Oh, you mean you paid for your clutch today?? :-p

You're one to talk hehe also, that seems like a lot of laughing. I'm sure it wasn't all out loud.

Ok ok, I'm done. Food shopping then home to make baked penne with roasted veggies. Yummmmmm

^ jeez your mean lol :cool:

she's my gf... and she's doing it because I do it to her... it's a love kinda hate lolz

lol i know what you mean :cool:

Still? I got a weighted ///M shift knob yesterday. It rocks my world. I also got new floor mats. (moving onto the visual mods now).

Oh yeah and my alignment is screwed. I think what happened is that I took it for alignment right after I dropped it on the new H&R springs. After alignment I think it dropped another inch or so. Basically it drives straight and handles well but it feels strange. Twitchy, unsure. In the rain I'm a little frightened to corner too hard but at the same time in general I'm driving harder than I did before. At low speeds (in a parking lot) when I crank the wheel into a turn hard, the car will almost grab the wheel from me and keep turning in. At full lock you'll hear the tires skidding. Something isn't kosher. Excessive toe out or toe in for sure.

nice, Yeah I just ordered the stuff monday so it should all be here by tomorrow.

Mark, twitchy like that mean toe for sure.... i'd get it looked at again by the alignment shop

i still need an alignment since ive dont my wheel bearing lol.. ugh

my alignment wasnt bad considering I had the entire rear suspension apart when I put my motor back in. Only a TINY bit of toe out.

The front had some camber on the right side and some toe on the left side lol... it was kinda funny because the car drove perfectly straight.

I am amazed. I went to the E36 section of the BMW board to ask a question that is VERY common in E36's. I asked if anyone knew measurements to make the drift tool for a 320Z transmission for 5th gear. I got a reply saying this is not a Nissan board, and one said that he wasn't familiar that E36's had 320Z transmission and he owns an M3 which has a 320Z.

Wow, just wow.

That is typical BMW owners :lol:

If it was bimmerforums I'm not surprised. A wonderful bunch of retards over there.

Quick edit: I didnt' know that my M3 had a 320Z trans either. Only that it has a ZF trans. So I guess I'm half-intelligent ;)

Haha I just found your post. I have instructions for that job. I wasn't aware you needed any special tool. Frankly I'm surprised the trans you got has that issue. Mine still isn't sticky.

I'm so hungry. Vending machine time.

@#$$#^*($!^%*@!#$

Hi to you too!

Its a hit or miss problem. And 96 and up M3's had the 320Z where as the older ones had the 310Z which is weaker.

As for the tool, there is a tool that prevents the bushing from collapsing along with having the bushing inserted the proper depth.
