engine and drivetrain Missing shop manual page

[RothBMW2002]

Just discovered that I am missing the first manual gearbox page from my CD shop manual. The page number is 23 00 02 aka 23- 00/2. Can someone please post it?

Also, I noticed that the manual recommends that the nuts on the Guibo be replaced if they are removed. Does this really need to be done?

Any tricks to R&Ring the transmission?

I have a 320i transmission and want to find the reverse light switch to hook it up to the wires. I recall that the 320i switch is on top of the transmission. Wires should be where? If they were cut off, where would I find them inside the car?

Thanks.

The reverse light switch on the 5 speed O.D. trans is on top closer to the bellhousing. You need to extend the (2) original 2002 wires about 15" to reach the new switch.

If you haven't done so, I highly recommend replacing all the seals on the transmission before you hoist it into place.

IRRC, the BMW guibo nuts are a type of locknut (the threaded hole is slightly oval).

As they are part of the driveline, I would certainly recommend putting new ones on.

What I'm about to share with you will make your life easier.

This is the part number for a "slightly squished" locknut with a 16mm outer diameter (rather than 17mm) and it allows you more room to fit your wrench, while re-assembling things. The squished locknuts are great, where heat and oil might damage the nylon insert of more conventional locknuts.

I'd definitely replace them all. Make sure to hold the bolts stationary while tightening the nuts. This avoids introducing a "twist" or tension in the rubber of the guibo coupling!

I'm doing this job next week and ordered all new bolts, too.

Use the same 16mm wrench size nuts for the rear driveshaft to diff bolts.

Huh, I'm missing that page as well. Makes me wonder how many other pages are missing.

Any chance you got your manual as a pdf online? It's probably the same one...

I don't know if it would be copyright infringement or anything (I don't see why bmw would care) but someone should get that thing together in a pdf that's searchable and complete.

Got mine on a CD from ebay vendor. Maybe someone can post the page from a hard copy of the manual.

How many nuts do I need for the front and back of the driveshaft?

[wegweiser]

If you have a 4 speed manual (original) transmission total: 12 nuts. (8 for flex disk, 4 for rear flange to diff)

Check again - 2nd page in Gilberts download is 23 00 02 (23-00/2).

That is the page I was missing in my downloaded Manual.

Oops. Thanks for your help.
