Lots of ups and downs this week. Started off by removing the tranny to install a SPEC LWFW + 550i clutch kit only to find out that the SB53A-3 flywheel I had ordered will absolutely not work with a stock-style clutch, and that an SB53A-4 flywheel is needed instead. So my car is going to end up stuck on the lift for an extra week or so while we wait for the replacement flywheel to come in.
On to the rear end then... My diff seals had been leaking since I bought the car due to them not being replaced when the PO installed the LSD, so now was high time to remedy that as well as installing a pair of M3 front diff bushings while we're in there.. I figured at $22ea they'd be a cheap upgrade, time will tell what, if any, effect these will have on the dynamics of the car.
