Hello guys

As part of my 2002 project, I’m doing a 5 speed Getrag 245 conversion, also I’m trying to fit an AC system.

I might have to slightly modified the transmission tunnel to fit the AC( flattening a bit of the top at the beginning of the tunnel).

with the stock tranny the tunnel modification will not be an issue, my question and concern is the Getrag 245 same size at the  bell housing as the stock tranny?

I don’t want to run into fitting issues after modifying the tunnel and is time to fit the new tranny.

Thank you

Very funny 

i almost started searching the forum

I know but dose anyone here has experience with it?

any reviews from other members?

i did search but couldn’t find reviews on it.

The only reason I can think of is that on the 72 and 73 US cars, by selecting a left or right turn with the T/S lever and ignition off, you'll illuminate the left/right parking light and tail light (for on-street parking in Europe).  That means the turn signal wiring has a lead that's live all the time, and that buzzer works even with the ignition off.  

 

This whole setup was a Federal requirement, so BMW just figured out the easiest way to meet the rule.  Don't think this was required on Euro (or rest of world) cars.

I think you are correct

Has anyone here used this AC unit?

Has anyone here used this unit?

But MIke 

why will be a buzzer connected to the turn signal switch?

Hello guys

I just replaced the Turn signal switch on my 1973 2002, and everything is working fine.

but I notice that the new switch is a little different, I was told that this is the newer switch.

the old switch has a black cable that goes to a part under the dashboard.

my question is, what is the part under the dashboard? And do I need to remove the black cable and add it to the new switch?

here is a picture of my old switch and a picture of the part in question 

thanks

Thanks for the advice 

Hello

im considering adding an oil pressure and temperature gauges, I was looking for an adapter to put on the Distributor in the stock location.

I found one made by Parker Performace but I think he is out of business.

is there another source for this type of adapters?

thank you

jV

I just did a search, looks like a common problem.

thanks

So is this normal thing to happen?

It makes sense, I did not touch it earlier since I was in my way out to dinner, but you are right it is oil.

thanks

Hello guys 

I’m afraid, my car has a coolant leak somewhere on the exhaust manifold.

the car does not overheat it actually runs smooth and on the cooler side.

I did notice  some white smoke coming from the front of the exhaust manifold yesterday and the coolant level is a little low.

I notice this after the engine was cool.

any ideas of what and where the problems is?

BTW last month had a compression test and it was good.

Thanks

JV

Awesome 

thank you again

JV

Great!

thank you so much 

now, do you know if I need to remove the vent to install the cap, or I can install it like is?

is the also a cap for the other edge of the door?

Hello guys 

I’m new to the forum but being following for a while.

I got a 1973 2002 couple months ago, in very good condition.

the car was restored several years ago.

iI have notice a gap on the door where the window vent meets the edge of the door, I have search the forum but have not find if this is normal.

so my question is, is this gap normal? If not is it that the window vents need to be adjusted or I’m missing a part like a rubber cap?

thank you

here is a picture of my 02 and pictures of the gaps in question
