This one looks like it should fit a wire harness or just the tubing... I did consider this, but dismissed it due to the size in the drawing (that is wrong)... I have seen a scale difference in realoem before, but if this grommet fits, ummm... I should have just gotten one with my last order... EDIT:: I just spent $7.65 to get a $3.35 part... I really hope the drawing is not to scale, and this is the part I need!! The search will be over!! Thanks smokeyyank!!! Quote:

Yep!!! You were right smokey!! This is the one!!! Well, I have great news!! The diagram in realoem was indeed not drawn to scale... The “Tulle” as my BMW parts supplier calls it, is the part I need to secure the clutch hydraulic tube to the body of the X5!! So, I’m going to get this installed and next is the transmission for the final time, hopefully!!! 20170526_154148 20170526_154138 I have started on the wiring too, but I will save all those pictures when I have figured out the ins and outs... I’ll try not to confuse anyone until I absolutely have to... And that includes ME!!! Cheers for now!!!

Good day all!!
Well, I have been thinking about the shifter arm!! I noticed that the one I got sits between the two ribs, thus allowing for a lot of twisting on the rubber “bearing” as BMW calls it... So, instead of splicing two together, why not just take a section out of the original... Saves on cost and won’t change the fact you still have to find a shop to “weld” the two parts back together... So, I got the two new rubber bearings for the original arm... I will measure again before I cut it, but while the transmission is out, I got a few pictures. I decided to do away with the OEM locking pin in favor of a thru bolt, large washer, and lock nut... The two ribs will keep the bolt from twisting, and the two rubber bearings will add support to keep the arm from twisting on the bolt... I like it a lot more!! I have to add a shim to fill a gap, but so be it... Here you can see the bolt only has threads at the end past the arm... I initially picked a shorter bolt, but the treads went into the support area and I didn't like that... I will have to cut the end of this bolt so there isn't as much hanging out past the lock nut...  Note that this is not the rubber bearing I will be using... This one is for the other arm I had initially planned to use... The inner diameter is the same, but this is round and wider than the narrow oval pair I will be getting soon.  I would just use the pin, but it goes thru the arm and trans from the left to right... And locks down on the left ear of the trans... The arm is more aligned if it is like this... I'll take another look once the arm is the correct length, but I think it will be better like this... The bolt and pin are the same diameter... Very small clearance in the transmission...  Here is the self-adjusting pressure plate... This is used, obviously... As is the clutch and flywheel... If I am not mistaken, the spring pushes on the adjuster as the clutch disc wears... So, you need to start with a compressed spring and it will adjust the first time you push the clutch in... Here is how I got it in the initial position...    I was going to wait until I had that clutch line grommet for easier install, but the trans is ready to get put back in and locked down tight... I can put the starter back and button everything else back up... I found out the oxygen sensors are in the same loom the trans wires use... I will pull the loom and trans computer, but I'll be putting the trans loom back once it is ready... Cheers for now!!

Good day all!!
Here are the pictures I took last night... I didn’t get any of the front diff being out or the clutch disc alignment... It is rather neat having all that room in there to work where the front diff and the half shafts lived... This is the new tulle on the spare hydraulic line I purchased...   I have to figure out the method to the madness getting them in... I found it best to have the line grommet on the outside of the X with the other one worked in place, then work the line grommet up with the assistance of a small flat tip...    And the view from the inside... I think it actually goes on the other way, but I got this installed and I was not about to fight with it again to flip it over...   I will add that the carpet does still sit all the way down over the line, despite it being up higher than I think it should be... Here is the stage 1 to the cross member... I tried to get the plate perfectly level I can modify as thing progress...   20170527_015043   I am not sure what happened to the rest of my pictures... I had some where you could see the long plate on the inside of the cross member... I’ll edit if I can locate them... Maybe the data fell on the floor in my garage after I took the picture... Found them... Here you can see the plate on the inside of the cross member... I didn't cut the plate to keep its integrity... I notched the cross member just enough to have the plate fit in the gap... I should dip this in some paint to coat the inside too... But I have a few more stages to go...  and here is the gap that I didn't fill in completely...  Here is the hardware I’m using for the trans mounts... I’m not actually stealing the hardware from my X... I have a sport set of front struts that will be installed soon... I kept the hardware when I pulled them... I still have to grab some more the next time I go to the YPIY... I need four of these...  This is what was installed at some point... These are probably still good, but I want the sport version...  That is it for now... Cheers all!!!

Nice looking welds. Did you just cut a slot, put in the steel and weld it back up?
