BMW X3 with the tr**ny pulled down for clutch and flywheel work.
The tr**ny assembly was removed to access the clutch, followed by replacement of the clutch kit, dual-mass flywheel, and selector shaft seal. This will help restore smoother clutch engagement and more consistent power transfer, while the DMF also helps manage drivetrain vibration. Engine supports were also replaced, with the drivetrain already accessible during the repair. Other work on the X3 included repairs on the doors and headlight wiring, side mirror replacement, and brake fluid service, and brake bleeding.
The transmission work takes the main focus here, with the clutch and flywheel making up the bigger part of the mechanical service. Another busy job inside Bimmer Monkeys, more than just routine maintenance.
