Only use grease on the guiding tube and on the inside of the throw out bearing if it has metal to metal contact, this specific TOB has some self-lubricating plastic. Grease can, combined with the abrasion of the plastic, seize the TOB. The bentley manual only states this, because older style TOBs are completely made of metal.
Another great video man love it keep it up! Very detailed and awesome to watch! I’m really struggling to find the torque spec for a 250 getrag manual transmission do you know where I could find this spec? I’ve looked everywhere! Could it possibly be the same spec as the 260? Thanks
Permatex anaerobic sealer is a great substitute for curil. Curil is basically just a anaerobic gasket maker. You’re right, Curil is getting really hard to source.
Question about the shift shaft seal. They’re notorious for leaking, so when installing them could you coat the shaft in grease and instead of coating the inside of the seal could you coat it with the gasket sealer? Theoretically wouldn’t the gasket sealer keep it from leaking while the grease on the shaft help it slide on and set in the seat nicely or would the slight mix between the grease and gasket sealer create a possible issue?
Yes, this is exactly how I install them. Rubber-safe grease on the shaft and a bit on the inside lip of the seal. I use the anaerobic sealer (in my case the Curil k2) on the outside of the seal (the metal part). I haven’t had any leaks since I started installing it that way. Just take your time and try not to get any grease mixed with the sealer on the outside like you said. The other thing you’ve got to make sure of is not to scratch the bore when removing the old seal. I finally broke down and bought the BMW tool that removes them without scratching it. Part number is 83302219637. You can order it at your local dealer or online. Usually around $40USD. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@jerjustice8074 Yes, I’ve used it and it works fine to drive the output shaft seal in but I usually finish driving it in with a small hammer with light taps until it sits flush all the way around.
Can you tell me were the magnetic inside the gearbox will inserted? when i open my gearbox, this magnetic just drop from there and i don't know the correct position 😅
No spacer behind the snap ring? It’s possible when it was assembled that it didn’t need a spacer to take up the endplay on the gear train. I guess I would check to make sure they’re wasn’t a lot of in and out play on the input shaft and if there isn’t put it back together without one.

Good info, thanks 👍
Thank you so much for this video dude.
🤘
@@85garage currently doing mine and this is such a help man. Seriously appreciate it so much. Keep making videos they're great.

It’s a get rag 260 box 5speed
After I watched your video, I notice that my getrag rattle may come from the input shaft bearing or the bad spring or throw out bearing! Thank you
Great vids. Do you have a recommended substitute for Curil K2. Seems hard (impossible?) to find.
Permatex anaerobic sealer is a great substitute for curil. Curil is basically just a anaerobic gasket maker. You’re right, Curil is getting really hard to source.
I’ve pulled my get rag 5speed down to replace bearings putting back together have 1 very small spacer left don’t know where it goes can anyone help

Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

Also would it be safe to use that homemade input shaft tool to seat the output shaft seal?

It’s about the size of a 5cent piece maybe just a bit bigger
I don’t know of any spacer that is the size of 5¢..can you send me a picture of it? Nineteeneightyfivegarage@gmail.com
Can you tell me were the magnetic inside the gearbox will inserted? when i open my gearbox, this magnetic just drop from there and i don't know the correct position 😅
My magnet was on the drain plug. You have a separate magnet somewhere?
@@85garage Nice!!!
I don't have any extra magnetic, i'll need to buy new one
Is this the exactly the same for getrag 240?
Nice Bro!!
I'm rebuilding my getrag 220, facing some trouble.
Do you have some material about?
Thanks!!
What are you having trouble with?
@@85garage Hi, sorry for delay!
I first of all, i'd like to know the correct torque in bearing bolt inside de gearbox (pilot axis i think)
@@magraopb which one?
@@85garage Getrag 220 "220.0.0225.96" 061 / 225 - This one came in my BMW 318is Euro Version, original from factory
My transmission didn’t have a spacer? What should I do
No spacer behind the snap ring? It’s possible when it was assembled that it didn’t need a spacer to take up the endplay on the gear train. I guess I would check to make sure they’re wasn’t a lot of in and out play on the input shaft and if there isn’t put it back together without one.
