    Say what you want, but if want more business don't treat people (potential customers) like morons, whether you think they are or not. I for one wouldn't come to your shop or recommend you regardless of your pricing, quality, or turn around.

    This. That douchey, high-horsed response is exactly what would drive me to never give someone my business.

      It's not high horse at all. I actually offered to help as I knew more then likely what the issue was which I posted up before. I am stating a fact which you can think as you please. This was not ment to be a bad statement but a true statement that's is all. I know John Moliter personally so it wasn't an attack against him. No worries on getting more business, that's one part I don't have a problem in.

        I feel like you're hovering over waiting for the "I told you so" moment. If you were to offer basic help here and there I would recommend people to your shop and might even take my car to you when I don't have time to do the work myself.

        However, by responding they way you did and sounding like you're on your high horse, the way you do time and time again, I will never refer you any business. I will thank you for reigniting the fire for me to complete the job myself.

        It's spelled Molitor.

          Two more trans bolts (the top two ones that go into the block) then the trans is out.

          Then pop this in!

                  One bolt is in. I'll button the rest up soon if the rain holds off.

                    Is the rod joint pin closest to the trans tapered?  I have the pin 1/4 of the way in and it won't budge.  It rotates the gear selector shaft on the trans when I turn the SMG side.  

                    What gives?!  I've used an extension and a hammer and nothing moves.

                                    Drove it around the block!! Doesn't shift into second.

                                    803dbaa79d67c8da486385134e710acf.jpg

                                    I bled the actuator 3 or 4 times and it allowed me to ease on the gas and slowly grab 1st gear like it normally did. Maybe I'll just keep on bleeding the actuator and see what happens. At least I can drive it to a show now if needed.

                                          this is what happens when those BMW engineers get all redneck with stuff. they are usually pretty good about not doing that.

                                          "hey! lets make an 'SMG' transmission. we will just attach a thinga-ma-bob that moves the lever around to the regular manual box and make is super complicated so it looks like new tech, instead of designing a new transmission."
