Brilliant Brook, I have watched this Tutorial a few times and hopefully never having to do it, but it makes compulsive viewing .

Hi Malcolm, It is a bit like brain surgery "self-taught", but without the blood and anesthesia :-)

[@assessor1276]

Great video - very clear as always. It was helpful that you gave the approx. heating time because a newbie would need to know how much is enough.

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Thank you Peter.

[@urseemilian]

Very informative my 79 R100 hits a false neutral between 4 and 3rd going down shift any thoughts does it mainly when hot

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Clean and lube the transmission output shaft splines.

[@rickg7465]

OK thankyou I'll give it ago I'll need to pull it down a bit you feel this would help ?

[@vespasandengines]

Hi brooks, Great video, but I’m having trouble removing the output and the intermediate shaft in a /6 gearbox ... heating it up till it’s sizzling and rocking them both hasn’t done a thing... and other options to try?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

HI Andey, I learned that turning the case upside down in my parts washer so gravity is my friend helps. Then I heat just the bearing pockets on the outside of the case with the torch until the gears clusters fall. That usually works. If need be, you could tap on the pockets with a plastic mallet to encourage the bearings to slide out of the pocket.

[@vespasandengines]

@@BrooksAirheadGarage I will give it another try

[@MarcS4R]

i am considering getting a long fifth gear for my R80 G/S, do I have to disassemble the gearbox completely for that ? Thank you :)

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Yes. And you will need to reshim it as well.

[@jbhallowell]

Thanks I needed that

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

I'm glad this was helpful to you JB. There is a lot of details about this work on my website that you can access from the link in the summary of the video.

[@Te4mUp]

Any idea on if this is all applicable to a 1980 R100RT?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Yes, it's applicable.

[@Te4mUp]

@@BrooksAirheadGarage How do you know this stuff, are you a BMW motorcycle technician?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

@@Te4mUp I'm an amature hobbyist. I have learned a lot from professional mechanics who share their experience: Robert Fleischer (Snowbum), Tom Cutter, Bud Provin, Clem Cykowski, Matt Parkhouse, etc.

[@Te4mUp]

@@BrooksAirheadGarage I'm assuming you had motorcycle/auto mechanic experience prior though?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

@@Te4mUp Not really, but I am a child of the 1950's when fixing and tinkering were part of every day life. So maybe that all rubbed off on me. :-)

Ottimo video,mi servirà per rifare il mio cambio che è appena andato distrutto.

[@NChirikos]

is this the same trans as what's in my '81 R80 G/S?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Nick, The procedure is the same for the '81 R80 G/S. Check MAX BMW parts fiche for the correct parts you may need.
