Trueoo7,
As I stated before, I bought the car with 416 miles on it and when I got it to my house it was already leaking a little bit. You know it was Frank Dodd's car before and maybe he let a bunch of people interested in BDR's test drive it. I don't know the history of the 416 miles, however, I myself have not driven the car that hard at all.
You know when it get's right down to it, it's really not that hard to replace the seals once you do it. The first side of the rear end took me 2 hours... the other side took me about a 45 minutes. It was working with all those bolts that I didn't need to take out that wasted a lot of time... but it was fun doing it and was a learning experience also...
If you should run into this problem let me know and I would be happy to answer any other questions..
By the way, I did not get the car on the road today as I couldn't find any Redline gear
oil for the rear end today, will be here tomorrow... which leads me to another question:
The gear
oil in my rear end was light blue in color... looking up Redline gear oils it comes up as a "shockproof light gear
oil". I called Redline oil company today and the gentleman said that that was not he best oil to be using for my car configuration. He said to use the "
synthetic 75W90" which would work well with the BMW clutch type limited slip rear end??? Any comments on this anyone??
Thanks for listening,
Jack
