OK, so this thread is for the 30t. but origin is on the 7th?

In that is the case we might have to start a new thread... I'm bloody confused!

I'll try and make Origin night Drags... pending work atm.

Had the flywheel and pressure plate balance and pulled out my gearbox today... changed the spigot and fitted the new clutch :)

I cant get the box back in now... Not because of clutch alighnment.. Im just to week to lift it back in... If anyone has a free day tomorrow and would like to help :D

Sounds great, can I wear my pyjamas and slack off?

ps If the best you can do is a 11.9 with the gas you deserve a slap :D

You can work naked if you want, doesn't bother me and it's not like their is anyone else here that will see you. As long as you don't mind telling about ~20 people how to setup their email in Outlook Express over the phone it'll be a breeze :)

R33vit: I'd be going easy on that clutch for about 1,000km if I was you, no point B-Man'ing it on your first day.

Best to not flog it's heart out for the first couple of hundred kays.

After that it'll be fine. Trust me. I drove mine for a day, drove to EC and raced. Fine since.

OK say 200kays. But do I need to be shifting it or just keep it in top gear for 200kays???

Please explain :spcartman

    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.  
    • This thread keps giving with the OMG!
    • A quick google, and some E39 users have found pulling my sensor out/apart and cleaning it alleviates their issue. Then get the oil warning to go off, and once it is off (from the sensor saying it was unhappy) some find they can just unplug it and it is happy to just keep going now. Maybe give it a crack? If you can actually pull the sensor apart, hit it with some electrical contact cleaner.
    • Yep. In the E39 it's slightly different than the others. Honestly I'd just leave it but every time I drive the car it tells me oil is low and that just makes me check the dipstick. It is a BMW Afterall and it tries to expel it's own oil regularly.  Thankfully it's not like my E90 that has no dipstick at all so you just gotta trust it.
