Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knew how to get the instrument cluster out of an R33 without destroying it? (my tacho is jumping around a bit and i need to see what the problem might be) Ive had a bit of a look in the DIY/Tutorials forums but no such luck. If anyone has instructions on removing the instrumention cluster that would be great!

Cheers

;)

Guys, i've done this about a million times. If you get stuck, feel free to pm me, or call me.

Basically, pop the ash tray out, undo the screw underneath, pop off the shifter surround, undo the screws on the dash face. there are a couple where your knees are too, pop that off, undo all the wiring plugs

then undo the cluster surrond, about 4 screws. then the cluster is held in by about 3 screws from memory. undo the plug at the back,a nd bob's your uncle.

User name PUSHEAD wrote a DIY thread on it somewhere.

Actually, he made a web page.

I've saved it to disk here so i do have all the info but try searching on him first

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
