So, after a long day yesterday I managed to pull out the tranny on my own. Big achievement for me, but I’m being told to tow the car to a shop. Right now, I’m awaiting a throw out bearing in the mail. I’ll be installing the Mfactory double clutch.
Tomorrow I plan on cleaning the bellhousing and installing the fork and bearing. A friend of mine is a Bmw master mechanic. He’s been telling me to tow the car to his shop, so he can install correctly It correctly to prevent having to pull out the tranny again. I’m no mechanic by any means, but I’ve learned a lot and saved tons of money on labor by doing alot of stuff on my own.
My question to you all is, what should I do? Tranny is out and drive shaft is out as well. I’m not going to be able to tow it to him like that. What could go wrong by not me installing it correctly? I’ve researched the install thoroughly and I’m confident I’ll be just fine putting it all back together. I mean, I did pull it out and that was the bitch
