Question on BMW 3-Series E36 Tranny_Fluid_Auto

One trick on putting on the small sump containing fluid. Take two old pan bolts and cut the heads off. Screw them in at each end of the tranny housing, and now you have removable guide pins. Prevents the sump from moving around while you are getting the regular bolts in. After you get the sump on, simply unscrew the old headless bolts, and replace with the regular bolts. Cheers!
