Hi Duke,
Fig 1 attached - it is just the exhaust bracket.
I have never tackled anything on the gearbox. It sounds easy enough on paper but then again most things do! I imagine rusty bolts and access would be the biggest issue (unless you have access to a ramp). Not sure if the seal is an interference fit or if you could tease it out with a bit of wire. You may need a special tool?
I did some research on these gearboxes when I first bought the car. I seem to remember there was a specialist in the north of England somewhere but can't find the details now. I think manual BMWs of the same vintage used more or less the same gearbox so may be worth searching for BMW websites and forums.
Good luck and would be keen to hear how you get on.
Cheers,
LeeP
