E36 tranny mounts ARE HARD!

[zohaibrose]

Just want you guys that are going to attemp replacing transmission mounts on an auto 328i are gonna have a hard time because if you look at the tutorial to replace these look easy but what they dont say atleast for us auto guys is that you have drop the ENTIRE exhaust, then take off the whole heatsheild then you will get access to the top transmission mounts, otherwise you are fked.take a look at the pics, i dont know if this is true for manual guys but if you have done this on manual tranny let me know if you had to do all that work, i even took pics of how hard it looks for me cant even get to the top mounts without dropping the heatsheild

Yes, It is the same for the manual Trans E36's.

Glad to see you are at least putting in an effort to maintain your car.

Access to the top nuts is possible without dropping anything. Cheers

Obviously I looked at it where do you think I got those pics from there's no working room to remove the mounts

if this is a hard job to do, then you sir have the wrong tools.
transmission mounts should take no longer than 20 mins, including jacking up and standing the car

am i the only one? man i have the same car as you and i just looked earlier today and there was no room to get the top mounts off the only way there is to remove the exhaust and drop the heatsheild? am i going crazy or something. seems like a 3 hour job for me

[Ajaxx1989]

plenty of room to get a wrench up there, and if your lucky maybe even a ratchet wrench. (gearwrench ftw)

Wow guys, dropping the exhaust was too hard, i had to pull the motor to get at them. Y'all are fukt

oh i get it you dont have the heatsheild on, no wonder im having a hard time, either that or because yours is manual, on automatics we have the transmission pan so i guess thats why the setup is diffrent

I used a swivel socket to get to the top nuts, I also had to cut the stud down a tiny bit. Helps having the right tools.

Well, get to work then. Those mounts arent going to change themselves.

I love you.

How are you complaining about the exhaust. The exhaust on this car has to be the easiest of any car I've ever worked on. I could do it blind folded and one handed in like an hour. The only hard part is the exhaust flange but that's only if the nut hasn't been broken in 20 years. Nothing a little PB blaster, a torch, and some elbow grease can't fix.

So insulted that I asked you for nudes.
