I want to change the handbrake boot on my E34 touring ('95) but can't figure
out how to remove the grip part. On other BMW's it seems that twisting did
the trick but this one doesn't move. Am I too gentle or is there something
that I clearly haven't figured out? Can someone enlighten me?

I believe if you turn the boot inside out, you will find an ordinary tie
wrap. You cut the tie wrap, remove the boot, and install the new one
without removing the handbrake leather from the steel lever tube.
Handbrake leather is glued to tube and doesn't come off readily.
This is how my E32 7er was.

We have a winner.
Indeed, the Icelink apparently grounded the bus (K Bus) in the car, and
that is in between all sorts of things. I was under the mistaken
impression that there were two different buses, the I bus for radio
stuff and one to route things around the chassis. This is not true for
the E46, which has only one. (Well, there are evidently a few others,
but no I bus.)
Thanks for the pointers,

The top part of that text seems to support my theory and what works

do with the clutch. I haven't had a chance to try the
stopping-the-engine clutch diagnosis that others have suggested,
since the tranny hasn't exhibited the problem all week (it's never
been consistent), so I'm on the lookout for an opportunity to try it.
I've bled the clutch slave before, but not the 100% way where you
disconnect the slave, invert it and flush, so this IS a possibility.
Now, what I neglected to mention is that about a month before I did
the fluid change, the dealer replaced the clutch (I think it was the
disk, pressure plate and throwout; I'd have to check) due to a TSB
item for a noisy throwout bearing...

I have a S14 flywheel that I'd like to put in my e30 318is and help out

John,
Stick with the M20 conversion. As you pointed out, it's well
documented and those flywheels will be easier to find and less
expensive than one for an S14, and like Rob stated, the S14 flywheel
is heavier. Good luck on the swap. I plan on doing the M20 flywheel
when my clutch finally dies.

John, ready for a rude shock? Weigh your S14 flywheel.
It's HEAVY. Heavier than what's in the E34 M5.
Beyond that, I think you're going to run into a starter ring
tooth count difference.

Got socket. Well. It's not 30mm. It's 36. So, back to store. At least I have
nice Hazet tool now :)
Have few more questions to everybody.
1. I have vibration that doesn' seem to be wheel related. Some under load.
1a. I also have metallic sounded clunk on slow take off and when load/unload
drivetrain by letting gas off.
2. I have 2 sets of wheels, vibration repeats with both sets. Around 75mph
3. I have overhauled suspension and bushings, everything was fine.
4. I have new motor mounts. By looking at tranny mounts - they look good but I
didn' take it off yet.
I thought it's driveshaft related. Now that I have driveshaft off I see that
universal joint is good, central support bearing good. Rubber seem to be intact
and bearing is good. Flex disc as new. I got new one so will replace it anyway.
Now that I have a leak I decided to address those issues. It looks like shift
selector seal leaking and output seal might be OK. But it's all soaked there
and I'm going to replace output seal anyway.
There is noticeable play in output flange. In ETK I see PN 1
http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=DE53&mospid=47588&btnr=23_0220&hg=23&fg=15
It seems that I can get flange out with a puller (just like were suggested).
How do I put it back? There is special tool listed in bentley to press this on.
How I can DIY? I would do same like I did with flage on motor by heating it in
oven and just slipping over, but bentley tells to cover in oil.
Wonder if that repair kit will address this play? Anybody have any knowledge on
this?
Also, what could be the issue for #1a?
Car has 172k miles.
Thanks
Ivan

It's not a shim, but a lock-plate (washer), again, similar to the
axle-stub/shaft on a wheel.
I ordered the socket from Maryland Metrics (google them!). http://
mdmetric.com/
I believe you can also order one from Steve at the Ultimate Garage

In my older cars (e30s) I use Redline MTL. For your car, to my

If the vibration is a buzz, not a shake, it is likely driveshaft oriented.
I had such a vibration that began at 80 mph. It was a worn out CV joint at
the differential input flange.
The output flange is a light press fit onto the mainshaft splines. There
should be no play at all. Is the nut loose? Is the flange loose on the
splines? If the play originates at the output mainshaft, the transmission
will have to be disassembled for repair.
The flange can be tapped back on with a plastic hammer. Make sure the
splines are lined up.
