Hey guys. I knew I’d take a hit for the knock off so it’s cool. But hey $35😳. I’m just learning how to navigate the forum and will pm Doug for the pics when figure out how to. I wouldn’t have thought to look first at the tranny first so appreciate the impute. After backing up my driveway into the garage I did find a minuscule amount of lever travel to the point the gears would grind if it wasn’t in the perfect position. Not sure if that helps pin things down a bit more. First chance I’ll roll up the sleeves and keep you posted. Bought it $5.5k w 82kmi. Put $3500 into it so far w about 1/2 for fun & 1/2 functional. Was going to track day it at Laguna Seca but the ebrake drum spring broke so took the m5 and the right front wheel lug bolts snapped off for no apparent reason and wheel went up into the fender. Needless to say there’s been one theory after another what the heck happened. About $3k later it’s back on the road. Thought I’d throw that out and see where it lands.
