Pulled the gear box, flywheel, driveshaft and all associated trinkets (plus a power steering pump, manual right side mirror and an IP to injector pipe for a drip timer) in 2 hr 14 min 32 sec.

Piece 'o cake.

Everytime I turn a wrench on one of these cars, I stand in absolute awe of their engineering ingenuity. We are truly fortunate to own them.

BTW-Greg,
I'll have you know my waistline is minimzed. After I discovered that BBQ sausage, bacon and steak was actually diet food, I lost 34 lbs in three months.

PS...one more thing; when we got there this morning, there was another W123 sitting on TOP on the 240D which contained the coveted grail. For grins, I opened all four doors. They opened and shut just fine. Amazing!!
