Hi gang, it's been a while since I've visited this board - so much has changed but there are still some familliar names and cars.

My problems today:

1) 1991 M5 with a leaking transmission. I've been told by others that a common source of leaks is the shift detent cover and that it has been changed to a newer style with better sealing. Anybody have pictures of this cover and/or the fill and drain plugs?

2) The driveshaft makes a "clink" noise during transition between drive and coast and is most audible at parking lot speeds. I suspect the noise comes from the spline behind the center bearing. Any thoughts? Is this joint supposed to be a) greased, b) loctite, c) dry? Any torque spec on the collar nut? The local stealer wants to put in a new shaft at new shaft prices...

Thanks guys, it's nice to be back.

Anthony
