[QUOTE="shanbala, post: 726995, member: 86"] Good evenings guys, It has been 2 days since the repairs. Not many miles clocked so this will the first impression of the re-built - gear selection very very smooth - gear change hardly noticeable and smooth - on acceleration, car seems more responsive - no hesitation when slowing down and no lag feeling Overall I am very, very happy with the re-build and monies well spent. Waiting for the right opportunity to really put the gear box through some 'hard' driving. Due to the condition of my tires, I need to wait a few more weeks before carrying out this task. Planning to change all 4 rubbers but like 2 years ago having difficulty in securing the correct combination for my staggered 19" set up. A trip to S'pore seems in the horizon. The "home office" seems happy with the outcome as she is the daily driver. I'm only the weekend driver. In summary right decision to rebuild. Can't wait for new rubbers. Will provide further progress updates in few weeks time. Digerati, answer to your question - the rebuild was done by my regular mechanic who maintains my X3, E60 and E30. Sadly I have no confidence to carry out such DIY jobs. Thanks to the many forums I visited, I knew what I was getting myself into and also ensured that I purchased the rights parts online.How did we live before the the existence of the World Wide Web !!!!
