Tranny noise

[i_am_ben]

Hello,

I am new to the forum, got a '95 325 convertible with a tranny noise in all gears but 5th. It is also VERY noisy when I let off the clutch in neutral. I am pretty sure it is the input shaft bearing, from what I can gather.

I can't seem to find that part on Pelican...is it also called a "central support bearing" or something like that? Once the tranny is out, is this easy to do?

Anyone with any ideas would be appreciated...thanks!

central support bearing is too bad. Find the part # on www.realoem.com, and you can just search the part # instead of just fishing for the part.
