Impact socket are always thicker than regular socket... so if you get a 30mm deep socket 12 points (right Bill?) It should work. I used the same socket on MB tranny for the output flange... it looks odd because of 12 points... but heck it is 12 points...
Snap on truck would have it... I think $30... I simply used a 3/4" drive with 1/2" adapter and used 1 3/16" socket (only comes in 3/4" drive)

Tiger most of the regular 30 mm deep sockets were still too
thick and the reason i went with the impact socket was because it was really cheap, like 10 bucks for the whole set of deep impact sockets and the main reason was it is machinable on the lathe.. Chrome alloy heat treated regular sockets are much harder to machine on the lathe..

I C Bill... I haven't done it on BMW tranny so I wouldn't know... MB tranny give you enough room to put in normal socket. You are right... darn cheap stuff at Harbor Freight and good enough for most of us to use.
