What size master are you using with the power brake delete?

Going to be running an 11/16 Rabbit master

I forget, how big is OE?  What was the specific application for yours?  Is that one that Massive recommends?

[Earl]

OE is 23 or 25mm. Lee recommends 17-19mm.

Of you want the garagistic Derlin front and rear bushing kit lemme know.

Bought it for my rebuild but it was wrong.

I think the e30/36 are the same parts.

I actually have Garagistic front carrier bushings and the rear one is actually different on an e36=)

Got it

Picked up another getrag 250 Saturday to replace the one that was in the car. I had some first gear issues and figured I should really replace it while I am doing everything else. 

The trans mounts that were on it were some of the worst I have seen=P It looks like they were separated and the trans was just resting on them...

Anyone ever see a selector rod joint like this? I have a feeling it is some cheap off brand replacement. Good thing I am replacing it anyways=) 

Here is a comparison of the clutch fork pivot pins. The middle is the one from my car and the one on the right is from the "new" trans. 

I also cleaned up the clutch fork, media blasted it, and have it ready for powder coating. The wear was pretty minimal.

I started cleaning up the trans a little yesterday. Still not near as clean as I want but it's better. 

Hoping to finish cleaning it this week so that I can pull the old seals. Ordering the new seals, detent springs, selector rod joint, bitch clip, and clutch fork retaining spring as well.

My 325e has that same selector rod joint.

I couldn't get it off under the car.

Scrubbed the trans a bit more last night. I might go over it one more time because I am still not happy with some spots. 

[jc43089]

So pretty, me likey.

Picked up the flywheel yesterday after work=) Don't mind the stain on the friction surface. It happened when the flywheel was cleaned after being resurfaced. You cannot feel it on the surface so it won't harm anything. 

I also got some parts back from powdercoat. 

[Earl]

First box of transmission refresh parts came=) 

I will need to sand on the selector rod joint just like the shift lever because BMW released a new design with a wider bushing to eliminate the little yellow washers.

[jc43089]

I assume the newest BMWs use the new part, its crazy that it is the same part for 20+ years. The washers were a pain to get in there sometimes.
