BMW GM Transmission Replacement Job E46 325i

a Live recorded event using the iPhone 8 Plus for livestream of replacing bmw transmission on Saturday, November 4, 2017. Shortened Edited version of the video with added first view GoPro cameras.

1st Live Stream video, replacing worn 225k mile auto GM transmission , mainly cause intermittently does not go in reverse and rarely under hard acceleration, from 2nd into 3rd gear would jolt/slam into gear. With the cost of rebuilding this transmission which mainly everything inside needs to be replaced, 2nd option was to source down a same year, used low mile transmission so when topping off new fluid into transmission, don't have to worry about transmission gears slipping. So found this 60k used/ with 1 year warranty from insurance savage yard in Lancaster, MA. for less money and about matching 2nd engine milage. Had cleaned, prep up, painted transmission with VHT engine paint and ready to go into e46. Towards the end of video, job came to a holt do to worn/cracking driveshaft guibo and worn center bearing of driveshaft. Also gear symbol showed on dash after first test drive which was due to worn leakage cable hardware which is shown at the end of video. as of today, the auto transmission has been running trouble free and super smooth with no issues.

Enjoy this video as its back on air after been taken down for added and edited video content.
