After the sealant was laid down I realized that we had to get the reverse gear in the correct position for the shift arm to land in the slot on the gear. We tried fitting the other case half several times and it seemed like things weren't lining up correctly. The whole time I am thinking that we can drag this out forever...we've got sealant and bearing retainer that is drying. I panicked and started using a plastic dead blow hammer to persuade the case half to go on. We decided to pull the case half off AGAIN. I noticed that the input shaft seal was not sitting exactly right in the case and therefore not lining up with the groove on the other case half. This time we measured how far inward the reverse gear arm was then measured the other case half and set the reverse gear in a position that had the groove the same distance inward. The problem is when you flip the case half if you allow the case half to tip, the reverse gear easily slides on the shaft. We put the case half on as far as we could push it on by hand.

This picture shows the bolt #1 that they want sealed in and you can see why. But also of you look at where the other bolt passes through yes it is a nice flat mating surface but I don't trust it to not weep oil with no sealant on the bolt or the mating surfaces.

I would like to point out that I don't hate manual transmissions.
My wife and I have always been huge advocates for manual transmissions. We bought manual transmission vehicles for daily drivers starting with my first vehicle, a 1986 Nissan truck and her first a 1984 Chevy S10 truck up until it became nearly impossible to buy a new manual transmission vehicle around 10 years ago.
They have been around since 1891 and aside from constant mesh with synchronization rings added in the 1920s and remained the same basic design. They are cheap to make, rarely fail, don't require external components such as cooler, control units, etc. They are cheap and easy to repair/rebuild.
Outside of the US manual transmissions are still very popular and in some countries they are adored and automatic transmissions hated. Although this is slowly starting to change as other countries follow the US.
Long live the manual transmission!

I've owned nothing but manual transmission vehicles for 25 years. It definitely sucks trying to find a new vehicle with a manual you like these days!

Yeah if you can find one it is usually a base model.

Indeed. Thankfully a couple E39 M5s still grace my garage.
