Steve84N Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just a few gearboxes in stock! Not sure I could spend all my working days surrounded by the smell of gearbox oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it smell worse than GL5 diff oil? The stuff I took out my diff really honked. 🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve84N Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 No, diff oil is the worst. I'm sure you'd get nose blind to it, but it really hit me walking in. They said they will look to rebuild mine to sell on. I might look out for it on their website and message them asking what it took to fix it. I did say parts availability is a problem and he acknowledged it's tricky for this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve84N Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Only had a short 10 mile drive home last night after finishing getting my car back together again. Obviously, the gearbox noise has gone. Not sure if the vibration at speed has gone too, got a motorway journey tomorrow to test it. Brakes need bedding in, I barely scrubbed off the protective coating coming home as the boot was full so I was driving gently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall issue with e34 M5 sixspeed was parts availability for repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
