Tech Tips

100 Tips that will help keep your '02 happier (and safer):
   
TRANSMISSION:

• Never ignore a bad drive shaft coupling (Guibo). To do so can destroy the transmission case.
• Use genuine BMW Guibo couplings. Buy '02 parts you may need now, because some parts may become N/A by the time you need them.
• A good tight four speed can use Redline or ATF for easier shifting.
• If the transmission must be removed, put in a new clutch disc - it's cheap insurance.
• The rubber bellows-type shift boots last longer than the fake leather ones.
