Does anyone know the...

    G80 locker questions

    I have a '87 740 turbo with a M46 trans. I know that the car has the 1031 axle but not sure on the gear ratio. I tried to check the ID tag but I ended up destroying it when I was removing the undercoating. I assume that it is 3.31 because of the manual trans. Anyway are all g80 carriers...

    740 Upped the boost. Now have boost leak...

    The other night I adjusted the overboost switch which allowed me to crank up the boost some. Went from about 10 psi to 13 and now at WOT, at around 11-12 psi, there is a consistent whistling sound which I am assuming is a boost leak. I have had the mbc for about a year and it did not make this...

    740 Rear suspension problems

    So recently the suspension in my rear end has been making this loud pop. It sounds exactly the same as when you are seating a bead on a rim for the first time. When it first did it I thought the bead actually came off. It only does it when I make hard turns or when the car is articulating over...

    740 Temperature Compensation Board Bypass

    My thermostat broke and my car was running really hot but not the point of failure. My Temp gauge however did not reflect the fact that the engine was overheating. I found out the T stat was broken because the car was taking abnormally long to heat up and then would evntually overheat. The fan...

    740 M46 shifter loosey goosey

    So my '87 740T with m46 has a sloppy feeling in the shifter. When it is in gear you can move the shifter from side to side about two inches. It has that gooseneck feel to it and I took some of the shifter apart to inspect the linkage and the teflon or plastic bushings looked good....I have a 240...

    740 M46 from a 760 in a 740??

    I have a 87 740 turbo with a m46 and I found a spare m46 from a 88 760 turbo. Will it fit my car as well? I am assuming so because it is only a year off and the 760's had more luxury options than the 740 so the drivetrain is the same?

    740 P-type overdrive cone clutch slipping

    I think my OD unit is about shot. When I first bought the car the OD would only engage at high engine speed (to create enough pressure) so I replaced the pistons and seals with new ones from the dealer because IPD does not give you the parts in their mini kit for the P-Type... so I know those...
