Greetings all. I am fixing up the car to go on tour around the US for about 6 months. One of the things that needs attention is the output flange on the 5 speed transmission. It has a deep groove where the seal lip rides. I am considering replacing the part or using a speedy sleeve. I found part number 23211202746 very cheap online. Real oem shows this with a note "D=10mm" and an alternative part number 23211203061 with a note "D=12mm". My question is this... does D refer to the size of the bolt holes for attaching the flex disc? My e12 is a 2/1981 528i. Any illuminating input will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

That would be the bolt holes, very early cars like 2800 Bavs were 10MM, later ones have been 12MM.

Thank you, Mike. The one that I can't use then... $11.90 and $12 shipping. OH well.
