It's very easy! A socket works to loosen the big nut, although if all you have is a short socket(like me) then you have to put it on first then put your extension or rachet in and it wont go all the way in but it still does what you need it to. If I remember right it a 19 or 20 and the little one you need a wrench 5/16 or 8mm.
I did a thread a couple months ago in detail, I think it was titled "band adjustment"
good luck.

I didn't need to. Before i started anything, I scratched the oil so there was a mark on it, looked at it when i got into place, tightened the nut and it had not moved. Even when I rebuilt the trans a month or so ago on the bench and it worked that same way. it simply didn't move.

More details?
Hi all, sounds like a interesting procedure. I'm wondering if it would help my delayed change and loud clunking when swapping between drive and reverse. I cant remember if it does it on one and two though.
Could band adjustment fix this? If not what symptoms will the trans have if it needs a band adjustment?
I have also read somewhere about adjusting the gear selector cable to stop clunking when selecting gears. Does anyone know anything about this?
Gears change smooth whilst driving though so no problems there.

It clunks worst when shutting the car down and so going up the selector to P.
Can I add to his shout for anyone's experience with moderating the rough shift?
Like Harry also, my gears (BW 12) are really smooth when the car is actually moving. Thanks!

Ah it's good to know that it's not just me. I've done a lot of looking around for a fix for this but haven't been able to find anything.
The shift cable peaked my interest when I realised that it might be too loose or tight and not completely pulling the trans into place so it's clunking in. Now I know very little about trans and even less about the BW12 so I might be on the wrong track.

Like Harry here I have the same issue with a clunking b/w D and R.

Thank you, amaezing.
I am looking in my manuals and are the suspect u-joints likely those which are part of the propeller shaft?
I had the diff and rear brakes/suspension re-built last year so I'm hoping it's not the u joints connected with the rear drive which are most likely.
Just looking for some pointers on how to get started seeking out the culprit.
Update: started this note and just thought to pop out for a drive to get some more data points and noticed when shifted the car a small but still significant leak of tranny fluid under the car. Never seen such a leak in the past.
Does this help in identifying likely culprit? I have a bunch of paper under car now and hope to be able to get a bead on the leak that way tomorrow morning when more of it is likely settled on the floor.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I have another symptom which I haven't tracked down yet, maybe it has something to do with the UJs, it's takes about 5 minutes to start happening but I get some knocking from the rear of the car. I assumed the diff, but I guess it could be to do with bad UJs? What do you reckon.
The knocking is steady and doesn't seem to change too much with speed, it certainly doesn't go twice as fast at 100kmh compared to 50.

"From your information, youngsters get lucky and it the one right at the transmission, and you will need to replace the trans seal also, since it's trashed now.
Amaezing: you are super helpful on this stuff. Can I just make sure I understand you right. The trans seal you mention is the rear oil seal that links up with the propeller shaft?
You think it got trashed b/c one or more of the u-joints are bad: that makes sense to me.
I have a mate joining me Thursday and with loads of caution we'll raise the car and have a good look about.
Harry: I don't have the other symptom you mention and when I did the diff overhaul it was b/c the seal there was shot at and the brakes needed replacing. Like you, it's always a relief when someone else on here reports the same issues. I don't then feel my car is persecuting me for some odd reason.
