    How many miles do you put on your e9 annually

    Since my 70 2800CS was retired as my daily driver around 1989, it has been driven 1,500 to 2,000 miles per year.

    Paris wedding location

    Isn't that the area Jim Morrison lived out his final days as a poet? Paris is one of, if not the only, city I like very much.

    ZF vs Getrag driveability

    Thanks, that is good to know. However, it is not enough of a problem to warrant pulling the transmission and taking it apart. I just blip the throttle a little and that's takes care of the problem.

    ZF vs Getrag driveability

    I like my ZF compared to the Getrags I have driven. The only issue I have noticed recently is when approaching a corner and shifting into second at speed, it tries to grind unless double clutching and rev to mesh the gears. It never happens when upshifting or if I wait until after I go around...

    Differential drive flange leak.

    That sounds like good advice. I will take it a step further and put a liquid sealant that hardens on the flat contact surface of the nut and the first few inner threads. That will be a backup in case the grease does not hold the gear lube back. I don't want to put the sealant on the splines...

    Differential drive flange leak.

    If there is no nut in the E12 era, how does the preload in the pinion bearings get established? We may be talking about two different things. I am talking about the input drive flange that connects to the drive shaft. It looks like I was not clear on that.

    Differential drive flange leak.

    I replaced the differential drive flange seal about 2 years ago and it is still working well. However, I have discovered there is a leak coming out of the center of the drive flange where the nut is. I have studied the Blue Book extensively and can find no reference of a seal for the collar...

    Bikes

    When I moved to California in 69 I rode a friends dirt bikes a few times. He had a Bultaco and a couple Suzuki's. After a few times out I realized I was over riding my abilities and was going to kill myself. I stopped riding motorcycles after that with the exception of one ride on an Indian...

    Ride to Telluride

    If you want some really exciting views you can take Black Bear over the mountain from Ouray to Telluride. That does require an off-road vehicle with a skilled driver. Not recommended for anyone with a fear of height.
