|ncary 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Well now, my beatuiful M 323i was rear ended last year and I've finally got around to getting the gearbox seperated.. just have to find out what should go with it. Bit of a mission it was, only stripped 2 of the torx bolts.... yay. Question, the plate which is on the bottom of the gearbox with 4 small torx bolts (stripped one of those bolts, hence this question) and covers sort of 4 inches of the sump, would an automatic car have that? And had to grind out 1 of the 2 biggest torx bolts, was very very very siezed, I'm guessing this could be replaced from the dealer or a similar bolt used? Basicly just wondering if the mounts and bolts from an auto are the same as a manual. Thanks So the getrag 260, pedal box, master, slave, flywheel, clutch, driveshaft, shifter and clutch hard line, (a.k.a everything) will be on trademe $1 reserve soon. Moving to australia and I've never had the thrill of a $1 reserve auction Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always used the ones that came off the manual box and thrown the auto bolts away with the box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
