2 Bowlers, 1 Pin?????

 

nope. i think that's like a foot-long double ....

 

update on my transmission issue....

I took the vehicle into the dealer in Flagstaff, as opposed to Phoenix, where the first overhaul was done. There has been another Service Bulletin released this July regarding the issue. They are going to complete that work on the car. I saw the bulletin, and it looks similar to the previous overhaul.

Curiously, in the interim, the service mamager put GM Synchromesh w/ Friction Additive in, and it helped quite a bit (in his opinion..I have not driven it in a week). I beleive that they will be putting the Honda fluid in, unfortunately, after the overhaul.

 

It's probably the CL-S tranny funking up. The tranny developed in 2001 for the CL-S was still used on the 7th gen 6spd models.

 

my hopes are not very high, but we'll see.

He's probably just busy with school and picking up all those hot senior citizens down in AZ...

 

thanks for the love. actually, i've been quite but, but not for the reasons stated above. i have been spending my time over in the 6 series forum, learning a lot about the vehicle, and how to fix the inevitable problems that arise out of a 21yr old BMW. so far, so good.

Regarding this thread, the recent service bulletin fixed the issue. I've had the car back for over a month, and have not experienced the problem again. I am happy about it.

 

Holy *****, that was actually kind of scary seeing you reply to this. So you have an 87 Bimmer 6 series now?

 

yeah...it's a lot of fun. can be a lot of work too, but the styling is incredible.
