I agree, but better packaging the first time around would have prevented it. I was a bit angry about it, but at least he did the right thing and replaced the part that was damaged.Quote:

Wow, all these tranny pics/rebuilds amd chatter has me more comfy with changing my tranny. And I still have no idea how to change anything tranny wise. But I sure don't feel as bad about it lmao.
Thanks for taking and posting pics, I really wanna get a "fact sheet" sticky going that has all the notes you need for a swap. For example, that the mainshaft gear and countershaft gear have to be the same ratio (can't use ep3 and Si unless the ratio is the same, for example)
If you can drop the trans you can easily rebuild it, it really is fantastically easy when you actually dive in. Things really can't go on in the wrong order and if they do, they won't line up and the issue will be obvious.Quote:

Some good tips though
4.3 FD needs this bearing HON-91003-PPT-004
4.7 FD needs this bearing HON-91003-PPP-004
You need to space out the speed sensor with 2-3 washers when using the rsx or EP3 gears in a z3 case.
Since I will be using my stock 4.7 fd as is, I won't need a new bearing will I?Quote:
