A special shout out to Hoss, of our site here. He's chief surgeon at this Saturday's "Clutch/Rear Main Seal Party" at Casa de Hallzee. On second thought... Maybe I should save that "shout out" until the new clutch is in...
In advance, Steve has given tons of helpful advice - parts sources (Denise at Bentonville BMW (AR) will hook you up as well - and she wants me to say hello to Dick, she's an ex-Texas gal!), general advice on what to look out for when tearing her apart - PLUS Hoss is bringing over some special tools.
You really can't buy such good friends - but every once in a while, you can trick 'em into helping you!
While we're at it, going to replace the slave cylinder (clutch failure was caused by bad rear main seal, I believe, but going to replace slave since I have her opened up). Also gas mileage had fallen recently from mid 40's to mid 30's so new oxygen sensor as well.
Got her all stripped down, and ready to go. More pictures from Saturday's comedy routine to follow.
