Shifting problems solved...

Recommended Posts

Last week I couldnt get into gear easily and if I got it into gear, I couldnt get out of gear. Just got it back from the shop and I had the clutch master and slave replaced. He also replaced the clutch pedal bushing (?). He showed me the old pars and they were pretty worn. Now my floppy clutch pedal feels perfect, and shifting is smooth as silk. Gonna fix the oil leaks and then do the 5 speed swap....gonna be a busy year for the 02!!!

I have 2 shops I use in Orange County when I cannot do the work. For both Master and slave replacement and pedal box repair it cost me just over $300. Parts were $160, labor $150. Black Forest BMW did the work. My motor install was done by Coast Motor Works. They are AMAZING. Not as close to me as Black Forest, but they are super detailed and do an amazing job. The owner has MANY 02s and is very knowledgable about the cars. Hope that helps people here in SoCal. In Fullerton there is Ronin which is basically an 02 shop with lots of knowledge including their 02 race cars...if you are farther that way, thats where I'd take mine. Just a caveat for any shop. I ALWAYS do my research on what I THINK the problem is, let them confirm it, and compare the parts prices with Ireland Engineerings prices and if they are not in line, I supply the parts myself. Randy at Black Forest has been super friendly with that. He also has saved me in the middle of jobs, couldnt get the rear hub bolts off when I was doing the rear brake upgrade, so he loosened them for me. When I was doing my front springs and shocks upgrade the nut on the strut tube was on so tight I couldnt get it...took him the strut assembly and he put some heat to it and put it on the vice and got it loosened. He never charges me for stuff like that. So he is my go to guy when I am doing it myself and I get stuck, or some jobs, I just take it to him and he's very reasonable on the price. He always has 02's and old coupes on his lot that he's fixing...so thats a good sign. Just dont be in a hurry! I get the best service when I can leave it an extra day or so.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
