do you mean these?

[gcorky]

Thanks mate your right

Me again!

Should there be any up and down play in the gearbox input shaft on the E36 M3 box? Just unbolted mine from the engine and there seems to be a bit of play in it!

youll often get a small amount but spigot bearing usually alleviates this.

does it look as though its been leaking?

There is a bit of old oil in there but not loads!

item 4 is easy enough to change..its the front seal behind guide tube.

is the spigot ok?


if it is id try a front seal as its cheap-n-easy....no worries.
