Thurst rod bushings?

z4chick · 04-08-2017, 02:22 PM

Just got back from the dealership, three things needed to be repaired. Valve cover gasket, transmission sleeve???? and thrust rod bushings?? I am familiar with the gasket repair, but I've never heard of a transmission sleeve or a thrust rod bushing. Any deciphering would be appreciated.

I can only imagine that by transmission sleeve they maybe mean a transmission seal (front one? rear one?).
Or maybe the propshaft center bearing?
And with thrust arm they maybe mean control arm (but which one?!?).
Just ask what exact parts they mean. This is not proper bmw nomenclature. At least not for this platform afaik.
