How to replace a transmission in a 1985 BMW E30

My friend needed help replacing the transmission on his BMW, so I decided to come and help and film. Hopefully this is helpful to some people.

To check the Transmission oil there’s two caps in the bottom of it. One is
to drain the oil the other to check level and pour. Transmission oil level
should be at pour cap level. SAE 80 or if you can afford it. Use Swepco 201.

4 speed gearbox I lost the first gear 2nd,3rd, are making some noises in
4th it runs well nothing strange All its needed to change is the gearbox
Not the thing from the middle of the car to the back wich gives the power
to the wheels ???????????????

Dylan Lear says:

We replaced the transmission, which is probably what you need to do. The
other stuff you saw was stuff that had to be removed BEFORE we could swap
the transmission.
