QUESTION: Has anyone gone over 80K miles on their oilhead, never had spline greased, and had no problem? I am making the assumption that my clutch will over 80K.
Checked mine at 79k miles for the first time and they were toast. Obviously been on the way out for some time but never felt any symptoms or had a full on failure. Typical wear patterns on both the splines and clutch hub. All needs to be replaced. I would say your "salty old" BMW mechanic is right on in his assesment.
