Saw you getting off on College this morning, ride height looks great!
Awesome! And thanks. I was on my way to LKQ for some parts. Ride height and dampening feel great in this thing! That was probably its last hoorah for the year tho, lol.

Well, plans have changed and the swap is being pushed off till spring/summer 2021. A lot going on with work and life in general, that adding the stress of finishing a swap in a single week on my winter daily driver would suck. And thats if everything goes extremely smooth, which we all know never happens. Ha!
To be continued....

Those front clips sure make it easier. Do you have heat in the new garage?

Attached to a propane tank.
Haha yes it is. Didnt get around to installing a central heater with thermostat yet, so the ole propane tank mounted heater will do for now. works relatively nice if close by.

As long as any damage doesn't protrude and deform the sleeve inward it shouldn't really matter as far as I'm aware
Correct. I just want to knock down any high spots that may have happened. Otherwise the new bushing can get deformed and the detent can stick again. Better safe than sorry, you know?

The first one was a bitch and a half. Made the mistake of not splitting the bushing completely down the seam. it came loose from the bore, but I was unable to pull it out due to the lower half not being folded in enough. It fell down into the trans, thought I was screwed. Eventually got it out tho. Second one came out super easy after learning from the first one. Now to just get some small files to clean up the bore walls. Then I can get the new ones in and finish up the trans work.

Mcmaster also has a decent selection of adjustable casters. May find something that works there....

Hey guys! Anybody have the drift and puller tools to replace the 5th and reverse gear detent shift bushings? Looking to borrow the tools to replace them on my e46 ZF 5spd manual trans before swapping it in. Let me know! Thanks

Good time to tack weld the oil pump nut!
Yes!

Tear down started. Rear main seal replaced, engine put on stand, ps pump removed, ac compressor removed, intake manifold removed, front diff and axle carrier removed, oil pan removed.
Next up is crank pulley removal to replace all timing components. Also remove as many brackets, housings, mounts, etc to get blasted and painted.

Parts to refresh some things on the B30 have been ordered. Currently prepping the engine/trans while I wait.
