1667/2000 Returns...

[Vman911]

Sad my car didn't sell for 6500. Thought that was a fair asking price...Oh well...I'll try again in 10 years..

Since I'm keeping it I picked up a used trans and xcase for less then 350.
Trans felt gritty so I opened it up and cleaned out crap and dead roach. I found viscus coupler cracked removed one from a 97 AWD trans I got here..Good to go. Put back together and installed...Test drove and shifts fine.. SAD part is I should have known better and replaced the seals..OUTPUT shaft seal leaking..So back out with it and remove top cover to get shaft out and I got all seals on order.

Shifter felt little sloppy to me so I removed it and ordered all new bushing..Sandblasted it and powder coated it gloss black. Came out good

found power steering rack leaking...Thank god for a friend with 2 wrecked vr4's. picked up another rack for free. new boots, fresh paint and ready for install. I may rebuild my other one.. seal kit is 110.00 OEM.

I'll be powder coating a thermostat housing I got here thats xtra in gloss black and putting up for sale soon..keep eyes out for it.

I may sandblast the rims and re-powdercoat them in bronze...I just did my bmw rims in gloss black and they came out good. SEE PIC too bad I cant do bigger then 17's. Anything bigger wont fit in oven.

I'm glad you kept it. It was priced VERY well at $6,500, IMO.

Is that wheel setup staggered?

I'll second that Doug. I'm glad you decided to keep it. Getting harder and harder to maintain the old school fellas. -Is the trans you replaced the same one I sold you back in '08?

Yes my 01 330I is a staggered setup.
Pot could have been the trans from you.
