Hi Steve

the system is great.
This is the same style as the oil hose on GMC and MB?

"Prestone is a very sick for undertaking this project"


The way I look at it, is if you didn't do it, nobody else would have. So you've saved this M2 from the scrap heap.
Your hard work is paying off! Looks fantastic!

If you want to add  final detailing to your gearbox, I recently had some gearbox data plates done.

Amazing work.   

Here is a photo of what I am pretty sure is the hose for the throwout bearing.  The previous owner had bought it but I have not hooked it up....

Looking good. May I ask how you are cleaning up the gears and shaft areas.

Nice work on cleaning up and repairing the gears and cases. They are certainly a mess.
