Ever wondered what that expensive and in some owners experience, fragile gearbox looks like? Wanna have a go at fixing your broken one......or just plain bored?
Found
this on Xoutpost. It's pic heavy, but.....
Yeah I know, I'm a geek...but I'm also an engineer too so it goes with the territory.

I could probably take it all apart, but no hope of fitting it together though (nor know what part is broken unless it is obvious ).

Did you read the one about the 7 series box rebuild by that company in Germany somewhere? That was also an interesting one with lots of oily bits.
